The girls have been diligently working drilling panels on the drill press and riveting them to the frame. Tedious and time consuming to be sure but they really enjoy it. The panels are affixed with 1/8 inch blind rivets and we have used a bead of 3M 5200 to further bond them to the frame. Dad being too cheap to purchase a rivet fan to assure even spacing employed a slightly different though equally effective technique. Cut the waistband out of an old pair of briefs and place a mark every 1" on one side and every 3" on the other with a sharpie pen. Now when you stretch the elastic the marks stay evenly spaced allowing you to mark your panels.
