I'm glad that someone else can profit from my mistakes! After all, that is the only reason for me to document my failures in such great detail lol. It's funny how some parts which seem quick end up being slow, and vice versa.
You would think attaching four hinges is not a big deal, but suddenly you look at the clock and... whoa! what happened to the time? Well, let's see... five (six actually, in my case, but that was another mistake) rivets per hinge plate, two plates per hinge, times four hinges, times two since you have to make holes in both the hinges and in the steel plate.... wait a minute!
6 x 2 x 4 x 2 = 96 separate holes to punch for four hinges! ...and that's only after you've marked the center of all the holes, and before you've riveted or screwed together the 48 individual connectors. Gah!
