Hi Rob, Truly inspirational scratch building! Fantastic ideas expertly executed throughout. It's so good that the only problem I have is the YT speed choices don't give me enough of slow playback option for my liking, LOL I'll be re-watching this 100th video many - many times. Congrats all the way around!! Best Regards, Jack

Rob, your attention to detail and skill are exquisite. Truly flabbergasting 😮. And your patient walkthrough and explanation are truly inspiring. I really feel I should experiment working with brass after watching this, although I’d probably end up with something that handled like it would make your pre-mod Alpine look smooth… Thanks again, and bravo, bravo!

Thank you Bernard, working in brass is not all that hard once you have understood a few basic rules and got some basic tools. Email me through Swift Sixteen website if you'd ever like some advice :-) Good luck.

Outstanding. Would love to replicate the chassis. Will try. See you use a torch for some of your soldering. Interesting. And the use of a angle grinder. That's what we call it, for making cuts on your brass. Just curious of the size of it. I have one and I know they can be hard to handle and dangerous. The way you whip it around is unbelievable. A great inspiration. Was recently given a metal lathe from my father-in-law. Plan on playing with it for builds.
@SwiftSlots
@SwiftSlots Ай бұрын
Hello PistolPete, If you meant the light torch lighting up the work being soldered, yes, all the irons I have come fitting with lights in them. It's not an option I would choose, but they come as standard now. If you mean a gas blowtorch, I have soldered with my blowtorch set-up, but very rarely on Slot cars (unless silver soldering). The 4" angle grinder is a great tool IF USED CAREFULLY. You need to keep the metal quenched in water to keep it cool and if cutting in you hand, let the disc (1mm) do the cutting and feel it cutting. DON'T force the cut, that's where you can get into trouble! Also keep your fingers and eyes out of the path of a shattering disc (just incase!) The flap wheel I'm using is an 8o grit disc, it's awesome for gently shaping with no stress on the parts rather than hacking away with a hand file! The lathe will be fun, remember, keep your tooling sharp, take light cuts and keep the cutter at or a little less than the centre line of the work. Have fun 🙂
