Now that the height
adjustment components have been installed on the North Star II field
tripod legs, it is time to assemble all of the wood parts that make
up each of the three legs. This done prior to applying several coats
of HelmsmanŽ Spar Varnish to each leg.
To assemble the wood
components, I first inserted the 3/8" bolts that will attached the
completed leg to the panhead, which properly lines up the two
"outside main leg support" side. Then, measuring about 7" inches
from the top of the leg, I marked the location where the bottom end
of the "adjustable center leg stop" would go on the inside of one of
the "outside main leg supports". The "adjustable center leg stop"
carefully positioned, locked in place with a clamp, drilled and
screwed into place. One wood screw was installed on one side and two
on the other. As you may recall, the 2"x2" "adjustable center leg
stops" has a 1/4" extension attached to allow the "adjustable center
leg" to slide freely between the "outside main leg supports".
