inside the brass tube. A way to avoid this is<br />
simply to pre-tin the tube and then cut off<br />
the ends to provide a fresh brass end rather<br />
than a solder-coated end. I used this technique<br />
throughout the construction of the<br />
clevises and the hinge bearing pins.<br />
To suit the individual application, the<br />
degree of motion can be varied by changing<br />
the lever arms of the various rods. This particular<br />
scoop has a maximum scoop motion that<br />
is a downward throw of 5/16”, and the actual<br />
cylinder shaft moves approximately 1/8”.<br />
Good luck and have fun playing with<br />
your working water scoop. You’ll have<br />
tremendous bragging rights over your colleagues,<br />
and most certainly be the first kid<br />
in the neighborhood to have one (unless,<br />
of course, your neighbor is my customer).<br />
If you dare to attempt this project, feel free<br />
to contact me if you run into problems. As<br />
always, happy modeling.<br />
