Working on the DFD

More progress on the Dream Focusing Device. Here I have the parts ready to be assembled. I am ready to rivet the hinge in place. To do that I need to temporarily hold all the parts together. I drill small holes where I intend to put rivets, then put temporary rivets in place, using ear posts. The blue painter's tape holds the rivets until I remove it. The clamps are my "third hands," holding everything securely while I mark and drill the holes. Tonight I am tired and getting clumsy, so I had to stop.
