Thread: Tich Small Boiler Joint question

15/12/2015 18:40:18

I apologise first of all for the lack of proper terminology, however can someone help me out with the following. I am currently building a small boilered tich as per the original words and music. The original design calls for the boiler to be formed from copper sheet and the boiler barrel to be formed into shape and overlapped by 1/4" and riveted by 1/16" copper rivets prior to silver soldering. The examples I have seen on the internet seem to all have a thin (approx 1/2" wide) copper strip placed over the joint which is left flush and then this is rivetted into place (double butt joint?) prior to silver soldering. Which is the best method to use and why do the boiler examples on the internet use the addition of the copper strip if this is not mentioned in the original plans?

Dave

On a seperate note, I am aware of the issues with the boiler with regards to the threaded stays and the lack of bushes on parts of the boiler and will deal with them when I get to them.
