I finished fitting the pin to the anchor block. The anchor pin is larger than the 1/4 " hole that is drilled in the anchor block. I stepped up the size of the hole until the anchor pin went in smoothly without binding.
I then went to finish making metal strips for checking the sides of the canopy frame. I attached the metal strips and then spent the rest of the session tweaking....and tweaking.....and tweaking....you get the point.
