This is one of the skirt plates. The outer curve was cut on the router table. This shot shows the pilot hole for one corner.
	The pilot hole is drilled out with the step drill; this forms the rounded corner of the opening.
	All the corners drilled out
	All the skirt parts cut and and ready to assemble
	These are the rib pieces before chamfering
	After chamfering the ends of the ribs
	That was a lot of chamfering
	Each rib is made up of 2 pieces. This is the longer piece...
	The shorter piece is glued on, making one rib.
	Starting to glue up the skirt. I'm using the same technique here as the frame: each upright is clamped to a small square and placed on the base; weld-on 3 is run into the joint; then I leave it alone for a while to firm up.
	All the uprights glued to the solid plate
	The plate with the center foot opening is added. I have also added the long edge pieces.
	One support curve taped and glued on one end. I let this set up for 24 hours before moving to the next step.
	I lassoed the whole skirt in a ratchet strap and cranked it down until the curve was tight against the skirt. Then I ran weld-on 3 into the joints and let it set up 24 hours.
	I attached the other support curve the same way. Then I wound up needing to go around the skirt diagonally to force the ends of those pieces to fit tightly.
	The skirt attached to the bottom of the frame. Later, the center ankle will attach to the frame base with two M8 bolts; there are 8mm holes in the base and the skirt for this. I inserted two M8 bolts thru the holes for alignment while gluing the skirt.
	The side angle support pieces added
	Side angles added
	Cone support pieces added
	1mm cone sections added
	Ribs added. This completes the skirt
