Those are actually just cleco's (spelling?), holding the hopper together until we rivet it all tight. Hehe.
Some 1" surgical tubing from McMaster has been ordered... We've used it with success.

Planning on it... If we had everything done in the picture what would we do with the other 5 weeks! (plus 40 pounds to build whatever we want for 3 weeks after that... stupid new rule)
But, we've been joking that I'd post another picture like this after week 5 and it would just show a crate and an empty shop... We all know that won't happen though
