I've learned that it's no longer necessary to put two
spaces after the punctuation ending a sentence. That's the way I was taught but
technology says that's not the way things are heading. Trying to break this
habit is going to be tedious because muscle memory hits the space bar twice
after each period, question mark and exclamation point.
Enough background.

The bolt for the cross-member was removed along with all
the brass nuts attached to it. The pointed bolts touching the spinner were also
removed with their associated nuts. The aluminum pieces were bolted together to
ensure alignment then the cross-member holes were drilled to ¼”. The ¼-20 brass
cross-member bolt was installed along with 3/8” brass washers intended to be
surfaces for the spinner to tap. It appeared the corners of the ¼-20 nuts
provided adequate space to tap and the gap there may be narrowed due to the
construction of the compass.

shop.
To do:
