Some famous last words before one of my projects end up on my shelf (more like a room) of doom. Yes, I like the sound of that...
The ROOM of DOOM!

The ROOM of DOOM!

Time for another small update as I have been working on this beastie on the weekends. This time the photos are telling the story.
For now I am now in adding the rivets mode, which actually isn't all that hard. I use a small piece of brass placed across a couple of rivets and then place the "new" rivet between them and add solvent. My mark 1C eyeball works well enough to center it that you probably couldn't tell even if you had a ruler. Thus easy peasy. I used a very sharp chisel blade to cut dozens of rivets from my little molded flats and put then in a nice small plastic container. So, new spot pick up rivet with tweezers. Place it along side bras "ruler" and add solvent while making sure it is centered.
I discovered in the process that I will have to make a mold for some larger rivets for the reinforced mounting ends. More fun.
