Brief Description: Elevator Trial Asembly and Corrosion Protection
Assembly of the elevator has gone very well. I've had to work a lot, so progress has been made in short bursts, but I find that this helps eliminate mistakes too. There is a real temptation to keep going after a long building session, and that's when mistakes are made. I think the elevator has some of the finest examples of workmanship yet - like I'm finally starting to figure out exactly what I'm doing. I tool a lot of time getting my leveling frame correct on the table so that there won't be any measureable twist.
