A slight misalignment

[Alan Morrison]

This was a tricky build cutting the small pieces.
Misalignment not noticed until the very end...ah well.

don't be too hard on yourself Alan , the average electron microscope fan would probably never notice

Akan, the misalignment is minuscule, no one would even notice. Darn good job to my eyes.

I truly understand. When I first started playing with Chevrons, after the first few trials I realized how hard the alignment is. We are trying to have precise alignment not at the outer dimensions - which we can see - but at the innermost mm, which we cannot see. I agree with the above comments; this is an excellent design.

I understand self criticism. It has served you well, pushing you to be as talented as you are. Don't beat yourself up…. It's beautiful!

My first impression: it was a design as the misalignment is the same on all 4 corners.

As you know, it may not be that noticeable to others, but it is always something that I see.

Thank you Mark. I'm still playing about with your Spectraply, as you can see!!!

Thank you, John. I very much appreciate your kind comments.

Yeah, very familiar with that.

The misalignment is a misfortune, but I very much love that design! I think you do some pretty amazing work, Alan. Don't be too hard on yourself. We are always our own worst critics. The larger than life pictures always make tiny flaws look much worse than they are.

I suppose that my disappointment was how the misalignment showed up on the photograph....it really does not show too much in the hand.
The design I saw on one of Omar Rayo's pieces of work.
