Mark bending and trimming lines on each strip. Trim each strip to its final length.

From center, bend lines are at 1.815", 4.686". 10.164" and 11.616". Final trim length from center is 11.814". These exact lengths are mostly for convenience; they lined up evenly at or between rows of holes. The positions are chosen so that the mesh strip can be bent into a shape that will sit in the center of the slot cut into each plate.

How much of this is thoroughly planned in advance vs. making it up as you go along?

I have a fairly complete concept in mind, but no plans. I am making up specifics as I go along, but I'm working ahead by several 'posts' worth at a time. Now and then something doesn't work out and I go back and try something new without posting about it. I only post the apparently successful results.

I do play a little with materials samples before starting on partsmaking. Eg, I bought a couple different steel meshes to play with before selecting the one I used.

so we do eventually get to find out what this is, right?

of course. We're only a little ways into this, it would be boring if you knew what it was already.

your attention span is WAY longer than mine is.
