More Spider Stuff

Despite the snow, I continued the work on the spider today, to great results.

I cleaned the surface with Easy-Off over cleaner to rough it up, then I epoxied the 1" washer to the bottom of the mirror holder tube.


















The next step is to paint the whole thing flat black and silicone the mirror in place. After that, I'm going to concentrate on getting the tube drilled and off to the the anodizing shop for polishing. With any luck, the next time you see the tube, it will be shiny and blue, ready to install the guts and get collimated up!
