Learning From the Best

I should just do what the technician says. That, I've learnt. My hinges weren't soldering properly. Francis says "sand them down". I sand them down and it still takes forever. Francis says "sand them down properly". I do and try again and we have success within minutes. That's why she runs the workshop and not me...

Here are photos of my prototype. I lost the grooved rod that goes with it before I was able to take these photos but I did have time to test it and it worked pretty well. It's just a matter of making it pretty now :)

Here is the degree to which I have to sand the hinges to expose the steel. Turns out you can't solder to copper either, but hey, you live and you learn.
