Instrumentation – The Great Quadrant: Day 4

With the lattice finished the goal today was to put the edging and scale on and clean things up.

To start, we inserted some additional horizontal supports along the outer arms:

Due to the angle at which the lattice was, the tips poked out a tiny bit, but these could easily be sanded off.

A square piece for the mounting axle was added and the scale arcs set in place.

With that done, we added some extra plywood to the arms to add a bit more support and clean up the look, before cutting off the excess bits.

With that done, we clamped it down for the night to ensure it dried flat.

Definitely starting to look like something!
