Took everything off the base to clean it up.

Marked off all the boundaries where the parts fit and cut it out with a circular saw.  Since flat packing may be a reality, I gave it a handle.  Thought about cutting out the middle at this point to reduce resonance, but decided testing will be easier with it there.


Cut the push-rod into two sections so it will pack up with the rest of the rods.  I cut one at 22in and the other at 20.5in.  Epoxied on a 3in bit of carbon fiber tube I had laying around that fit the OD so they are both 22in now.


Reassembled, mostly.


And then broke it down.


The top and bottom triangles are the same size, the top one is just off center a bit in the photo.

I kinda wish I had built in pegs to lock the two triangles together when stacked now.  Maybe later.
