At first cutting parts. The thickness of the brass sheet is 1.5 mm.
Copper tube.
3mm and 4 mm brass rods.
Filing all parts to get precise measurements.
They are checked on the drawing before soldering.
When the soldering didn't go well, I clean the part by the acid and try again.
4 mm brass rod is hard to bend.
I filed them to be a hald diameter.
Bending is power work. I don't like that.
Not so bad !
Cleaning by the acid. Actually the green liquid is cleaner for toilette. The time of the phase is about 5 minutes. It is copper plating a little.
I polish the brass parts of the front side.
I used one for my leather belt.
