I should point out that I purposely kept the upper and lower halves of the cylinders apart as I found out (the hard way, of course) that when slipping down the tightly squeezed rings, I kept breaking them apart. So each half had its respective sized rings slipped on. To make the "V: portion, I simply squeezed the rings to form an elongated "O" to suit the size of the two balsa strips used as formers. Again, a bit of fussing around, but still better than the alternate methods. |
