All of the components are populated now, and the accessory functions are in place. The focus tonight was the weaving part of the project. This part of the process makes the SMT work seem easy.

The rows are installed, and the technique I have right now makes each row take about 10 minutes. Having started the columns now, I don't think I should have tightened the rows until the end. I have three columns threaded and those are about 20 minutes each. The weaving process is looking like a 3-4 hour job in the first pass. I'd like to see a nice square grid, but that aspiration may be a little two grand. This part of the proceed needs some refined techniques which I have yet to develop.
