Making an Ulster Style Screen - Any Advice

[Dave Wortley]

I made an exact(!) replica from brass tube, brass channel section soldered together for the horizontal part. Easier than Ivor's chummy as it is not curved. The verticals were made from channel section also, top clips from brass sheet and the irons which bolt on the scuttle sides from steel tube cut down lengthways with closing plates from steel sheet. The tube which goes through the hollow brass frame was welded to the steel scuttle irons and hacksawed to provide the expanded facility provided by a turned piece of bar fitted inside the tube. This was drilled and tapped 5/16" whit for a.homemade wing screw. The whole was chrome plated
Nothing difficult just took time.
