Step 8Join the Domes to the Flat Top Bit
Place the flat top bit on the ground, and then place the domes over each end of it, so that there is a couple of cm of overlap.
Mark these positions, then move the domes back the couple of cm of overlap that you allowed, and mark again.
The region between the marks will be folded up to make the tab that will allow you to join the domes to the flat top bit. You will need to cut some slots at each corner so that you can do the folds.
Now use more split pins to join the domes to the flat top bit.
The image you can see here shows (but not particularly well) one dome attached to the flat top bit and the skirt. This image was taken while I was repairing rather than building the cone of silence, which is why there is only one dome, but the skirt is attached. You really want to put the domes on before the skirt, because otherwise it will be a bit tricky to work out precisely the circumference of the skirt.
