75 WOOD WAVE MOVING!!!

Almost finish the wave!
It still looks a little rough, but it's good that it's moving.
Notes on making it:
1)Because of the PLYWOOD laser cut, but thinner and smaller, it resulted in a very fragile structure. In fact it would have been better to have used solid wood or a synthetic board.
2)Also pasting on metal requires a special glue, not woodworking glue.
3)When installing components, always remember the order of installation. When I assembled them I often installed them in the wrong order and had to dismantle them and start again.
4)The diameter of the holes should be slightly larger than the diameter of the stick in the centre so that it can fit through, if it is exactly the same it will make it difficult to fit through.
5)The thickness of the small round piece should be slightly thicker than the thickness of the wave piece, but not too much thicker. I had no choice but to glue the two discs together to use as one piece due to the fact that I was cutting boards of the same thickness when I started making them, but again, this was a little too thick.
6)Remember to grease the individual structures with wax before assembling them, if they are already assembled it becomes a bit more tricky (that's me) and you need to use a harder brush to get a little bit of wax into the structure.
Still haven't figured out how to light it better.
