Rudder Work #3 -Coming back together.

All done – very nice. More to follow once I get the toe rail back on 🙂



Very smooth finish with the bronze rods peened over rather than using bolts.

This is a placeholder to get some pictures up here – narrative to follow.

All the bronze pieces back from the shop
Dry fitting all went back together – whew
Shoe fits like a glove. New pin has absolutely no place to go

Peening over bronze to fasten the pintel – Good fun bashing something until it does what you want 🙂
