Today was the day for the central stabilizing in, and polishing the large gear that will get mounted on the top soon .
In this shot, not only has the stabilizing pin been put in , but you can see all the amber glass mounted and sealed in the bottom gear.
Dave uses polishing compound and a buffing wheel hooked up to his air tool to get significant shine on the top most gear. You can see all the blue glass except for one section in on the top gear. That last section will stay empty so we have a way to lift and mount with the crane, then the last piece of glass gets installed.
