Aluminium facing...

The holesaw set has been used again, this time with the drill press on its slowest speed, to cut through 1.5mm aluminium!
The aluminium facing gives the pivot a superb finish, making it look like a solid lump of metal.

The edge is finished off with a strip of thinner metal glued into position with contact adhesive (not shown).

Bolts and a washer are used to hold the whole eyestalk together.
You can also see the other end of the wiring and the final resting place of the two captive
nuts, which are now hidden behind the aluminium facing, in the pivot's centre.
