How to Make a Brass Cones

In this instructable I'm making Brass cones for wooden legs I've found,
Instead of the old and ugly plastic cones that were on it.

This is a really simple and easy method, I'm not a big expert in soldering and I think I've managed pretty well, what do you think?

This is one little step out of a big project I'm working on right now.

In the following Project I will show you what the legs will be used for. Be patient!

Your support is much appreciated!

I took out the layout by trial and error.
I laid paper on the leg And marked the edges with a pencil.

It took me 10 tries to get to the desired result.

But...

Can also be done with 3d software.

And you can do it with this Calculator I recently found:

I did a test with this calculator after I finished the project, And its works great. :)

I used a brass sheet 0.3 mm thick.

The Surface Must Be Clean Before Soldering !
And it's a lot simpler to sand at this point.

Because the material is thin, you can bend it by hand.

Masking tape used as Third-hand to Keep everything in place.

You need to have a good precision with minimal space
No overlap !

You can use a small hammer to shape the cone.

Applying paste before soldering.

I used regular electric Soldering iron.

solder a few points and then took off the masking tape and complete the rest.

After the end of the soldering, gently sand the excess of soldering with a file and sanding paper.

Painting with transparent paint for protection.

All you need is:

• Soldering iron & soldering paste
• Tin
• Little hammer
• Sanding papers for metal
• Super fine sanding sponge
• A file
• Brass Sheet 0.3 mm
• Scissors
• Masking tape
• Layout of the part
• Pen

After the paint dried and the legs were also treated I've glue the cones to the legs with strong glue.
