Hello all.
Hinges...
Hinges are the parts that connect to the arms and allow arms to move relatively
The build method is, again, interesting. Each hinge (except Hinge 4 which is actually a connection rod cover) is made of two small tubes that will hold the pins, external and internal parts. The idea is to partially make the external part, create tubes around defined radius (I used my wife's knitting needles which I think every builder should have. I mean knitting needles
), then need to install the internal part. Afterwards, need to align and install the tubes. And then need to close external part, trying to align everything. This process is very time consuming for me. There are another ways to make these, (for example the one proposed by Yoav Hozmi, my good buddy, where no holes and tubes should be made and cardboard laminated side cheeks should be connected with thin wires hidden afterwards) but I will stick to a originally proposed system
I tried to show the build process of one of the hinges, I hope it is seen well.
4 hinges gone, 3 to go
