Don't forget to add some glue to the inside joints.
You can use a little more glue here, it won't be seen from the outside. Apply small dots of glue with a toothpick tip.
The bottom (slightly larger) inside V strut assembly is slipped inside and seated on top of the top of the "Z". Glue in place and let dry.
Dry fit the upper V strut assembly on top. I rotated the top assembly a few times to find the best fit and marked it with a pencil.
Raise the upper V assembly.
Glued was slipped in on the side of a knife blade.
The upper assembly was set on the lower "O" ring half. Flat tweezers were used to lightly squeeze the the ring halves together.
After the ring glue dries, more glue is placed on all the joints.
There is a visible seam where the two ring halves are glued together.
TIP: I applied a raised bead of wood glue using a toothpick. When it dries it should fill and cover the joint.
