NARAM Egg Lofter Build, Part 3, Egg Capsule Prep

The supplied Kevlar line is laced through the drilled holes and securely tied. I used a square knot. The knot is inside the lower capsule half.
The knot was "set" with a small drop of white glue.




A larger single hole is cut into the flat bottom of the 18mm shoulder.
Again draw a circle with a pencil. Cutting through the shoulder base took more time than I would have expected.

After cutting out the center, the edges were rough.
Sandpaper was wrapped around a tapered dowel and the edges cleaned up.

The shoulder was set on the capsule over the pencil circle. The Kevlar is fed through the hole in the shoulder.

Once I was sure the shoulder was centered, liquid plastic cement was brushed around the shoulder/base joint.

The Kevlar line seemed long so another knot was tied, closer to the shoulder hole. The excess Kevlar was cut off.
