In this photo, the
"outside main leg supports" that have the locking hardware attached
are flipped over to show how the stainless steel strap hinges are
installed. As you can see, the strap hinges were bent (using a vise
and hammer) in order to wrap them around the outside ends of the
"outside main leg supports". Only two wood were needed to secured
them since the weight of the tripod and telescopic instrument will
be rendering a force that will push the strap hinges to the ends of
the "outside main leg supports". Now we are ready to assemble each
of the three tripod legs for the North Star II. |
