Brass cover pressing for 3" foden fly wheel

Hi All
This is another press tool I made to produce a decretive dome cover which fits the flywheel on my 3” scale Foden steam wagon from 16-gauge brass. The brass was annealed before pressing and once finished machined hand polished to clean up. The press tool also doubled up as a pressure pad to turn the Outer diameter and a drilling jig for the 4 holes. I will post a video on how I produced the radius on the press tool on my manual lathe.
