I scratch-built an engine and pump for my pump house ..



... and needed some 6" gate valves. I used Evergreen styrene, some Tichey NBW and #000-120 screws.





The handwheels came from VectorCut (on toothpicks for painting)



Installed ..

Edward,

That's some damn fine work you've done there!

By the way, were did you get the #000-120 screws?
