Modifications and Testing

After hours of cutting, sweating, assembling, dissembling, and having a blast, we are closer than we imagined. With the build stage nearing completion, and anxiety filling us all, some last minute drilling and mounting is required.

Stage Two- Field Modifications/Final Fit:

Some would call this part "soldering."
We would call it "Burning Yourself and the Board!"
At least he tried!

Although hard to tell, Frank is making
some crucial measurements and bores
to locate the holes for the threaded rod
to glide on. If wrong, this part will be trash.

After Frank masterfully finished boring
the holes, Jason took turns to cut this 1/4"
behemoth, known as raw steel, with nothing
but a hack saw!

This is somewhat a vague idea as to what
The finished product will look like!

As the assembly is almost done,
some testing must be performed
So we know we are doing it right!
