Hmm, what a mysterious part this is.
Since they said it’s okay to do whatever we want, I’ll machine the part they brought in and reuse it.
We’re not a custom shop or a machine shop, so we don’t have thick iron like this lying around…
Since it’s rough, I’ll soak it in solution to erode the plating on the surface and then polish it.
Adding a radius to the outer edge should make it look a bit more refined.
The other day I created this shape from iron with the mill scale removed…
Of course, I’ll apply a radius to the outer edge, and it’ll look nice and round.
This is how it should turn out, I think. I’ll proceed using one side as the reference.
The dimensions are a bit tricky. Instead of using a spacer, I’ll fine-tune it—fewer parts means better serviceability, which means it looks cooler.
Since it’s so thick, welding is a breeze—I can just crank up the amperage and go.
When I use our wire brush tool, the scale comes off in a flash—perfect.
Right and left have directionality, so I marked them.
I rejected the previous plan and instead fixed the plate on the outside for easy attachment and removal.
Next I’ll polish it and apply rust preventative oil. After that, please have it painted or finished wherever you like.
↑I feel like the configuration for that other matter might be off, so please double-check it.
