       Scott, you must have the patience of a Saint...such fiddly bits,
       but you are pulling them all together in a really nice piece.
       THAT will be a keeper!

       These German engines & accessories do have more fine points than
       say a Jensen.
       That may be part of the attraction to me.

       Mount the new canopy support pole, mount the solo flag pole
       extension and flag, top with donor canopy.

       What a machine...!!!!!
       You are making great progress. I know you have read this
       before..... Did I mention you are making great progress...!!!
       Yes, the German machines are high on details. Jensens while
       super stout in their build, are quite spartan looking next to
       most any piece from Germany.

       Next up on this project: try my hardest to paint straight lines.
       I bought a cheap sliding shelf, sold as a sliding coffee maker
       shelf.  Hope was to allow me to hold the paint brush still and
       have the work move in a straight line.
       Used a bendable pipe cleaner to mark off the lines.
       Not perfect, but I'm not planning on selling this any time soon
       so I'm OK with it being a little "custom".
       I'm happy enough with the results.
