- Continued priming and painting the angles. The only reason to paint them is to protect the aluminum pieces from scratches and steel particles. Mine is blue just like Dave Clay's brake, only because that was the only color enamel they had at the store!
- Before priming the piece shown in the photos, I laid out the other half of the piano hinge with double-sided carpet tape, and drilled all the holes for the rivets. Aftern painting tomorrow I can rivet on the piano hinges, then work on the handle for the brake. Then finally I can start bending!
