Working on Helmet


Measure twice and cut once was something my dad repeatedly reminded me when I was young. I should have remembered. I finished bending all the pieces for Roberts helmet and was in such a rush to make more progress that I installed one of the bands on upside down. I figured it out pretty quickly when the next piece failed to fit. Since I had pre-fitted everything I had an immediate sinking feeling that I had done something wrong. So the rest of my work time tonight was used up cutting off the rivets for the part.
Now that I have the piece off I will put it back on the next time I work on this (correctly since I wrote “this way up” in Black Marker on the inside) …..probably on Friday as Robert tends to drop in then.
