Hi All,

I was doodling earlier today, planning a fabricated standard for a simple oscillator.

Could I invite comments on the rough sketches below.

I would like use JB weld for all the joints preferably without any other mechanical fixings.

The standard will be around 80-90mm high.

My plan would be to do all machining after it is fully assembled and cured, i.e machining the face and drill/reaming the crankshaft and trunnion holes.

I would add fillets to all the joints with the idea of giving the final appearance of a casting.

I have limited experience of using JB weld, my gut feeling is this would be a strong structure, but I do invite comments, thank you.

Hi, J, David

Thanks for the replies.

I considered soft solder David. I have been experimenting on some brass joints with bernz o matic silver bearing lead free solder and templers telux soldering flux and you do get an incredibly strong joint. It may still be a way forward

Jason I was delighted that you concur with my gut feeling about JB weld. I shall proceed with confidence.

Thanks again Geoff
