Yesterday evening Dad got all keen and we completely unpacked the remaining brown bags.
I had previously sorted most of the simple bags (ie. rivets) which reduced the total job and Dad continued this morning finishing the remaining containers in the shed.
I started with the canopy seal support.
I decided to drill in place and then open up on the bench. One rivet in the middle section is a bit of a problem as is clashes with the hat section but I think a AD426 will solve the problem.
Also sorted the snap-bush for the canopy handle. The bush needed a bit of internal filling to allow the shaft handle to go through.
Most of the rest of the day we spent sorting the slotting of the bars. This was one of those afternoon where we could have just used a hack-saw and a file and the slot would have been 'aceptable'. However we decided to try couple of other methods.
The first try was a simple grinding wheel in the drill, however the slot wasn't smooth and it was difficult to control the height.
We then changed to using the lathe. After some head scratching on how to mount the work, I'm now starting to understand a bit more on how to use the various curring tools.
