Step Lines

-[* black] Mount pivot pinch plates on both sides of the pivot.
-[* black] TODO add stuff from previous frame guide
+[* black] Parts:
+ [* black] 2 1" x 2" bolts
+ [* black] 2 1" washers
+[* black] Take a 2"x1" bolt, put a washer on it, put it through the 8"x8" plate, and screw it loosely into the bolt at the end of the shaft. Then repeat on the other side.
+[* black] If the shaft isn't centered, first put on the plate on the side where the shaft isn't far enough through. Tighten the plate until you see on the other side that the shaft is centered.
+[* black] The point of these bolts and plates is to pinch the pivot joint as tightly together as possible. They should be tightened with about 150 ft-lbs of force.
+[* black] You want the bolt to be most of the way through the shaft nut when fully tightened. If it looks like the bolt will be too long for the nut and will bottom out against the shaft, add more washers. If it looks like the bolt won't get almost all the way through the nut, take out the washer.
+[* black] Remove the wooden supports holding up the 2 cubes in the pivot if they're still there. The pressure from the pivot plates should hold them in place.
