Hello everybody,
and back to the small angles. First I've tried to convert the smallest
Evergreen-H profile (1,5 mm x 1,5 mm) into an angle.
which after several cuts was
0,7 mm x 0,7 mm, but with legs 0,2/0,3 mm instead of 0,1 mm.
Then I remembered the
Gutters on the
MLP upper deck, for which I used
Aluminum sheet (0,1 mm). So it was worth a try to make a possible small angle out of it, although the thought of it may seem rather crazy ...
As a bending aid, I had thought of steel rulers (approx. 0,5 mm), which should enable a similarly small leg length.
No sooner thought than done!
Since it is almost impossible to immediately bend a 0,5 mm narrow strip at right angles, I've started with a lot of overhang and then clamped the piece of sheet metal onto a sheet of steel,
and have bent this strip vertically upwards.
Then I've clamped the angled sheet metal upright between two steel rulers,
and have bent the strip up and down several times until it broke off. Then I've smoothed the breakline a bit,
wherewith one leg was already done.
Then I've wedged the bent leg between the rulers,
and have broken off the remaining strip in the same way.
Thereby the angle was finished, was about 0,7mm x 0,7mm and looked quite passable.
And this is how the angle at the lampshade would look.
Now I'm curious what you're thinking about it?
