Gary,

Building elevators= for=20 the small tail from scratch is less of a problem because of the=20 simpler hinging.

Others have replaced the small horizontal with the bigger one and did= not=20 find that so difficult.

The problem might be a metal worker jumping into sophisticated g= lass=20 construction with no experience.
