Tripod bits

These three items are the metal joining parts for the tripod. The left piece attaches to the main center stack and fits up inside the main head. The right piece holds the legs with a hole in the middle for the center stack. The center piece is the main head.

All three pieces were originally painted with a worn gray camera wrinkle finish. I managed to eventually sand blast that off. (It took me a very long time because the air compressor I have is for finish nailing and only holds one gallon–I'd get two seconds of sandblasting before the compressor kicked on. Wait 5 minutes. Repeat. Luckily the pieces are small.)

I plan to add a little bit of red pin striping to them before it's done.
