Step 3 Sanding

Sand down the insides of the 2" PVC rings and also the inside/outside of the coupler, until it fits snuggly inside the 2" PVC ring. Do this 4 more times. Then cut a 1/2" notch in the 1 1/2" coupler, then glue to the inside of the 2" PVC ring.

what does it mean by notch like it starts at one end and goes to the other

Ok I feel stupid but is the notch in the coupler cut all the way from one end to the other? and also is the couple then glued to one ring or one of the 2 1/8"pieces???

I get your idea and everything makes perfect sense except for the little notches are there supposed to me little post that we make that either allow or not allow the key to move freely? like get what i mean... cause i didn't think you explained that part and i am have a bit of difficulty but besides that this is a Phenomenal project i just want you to know you did a great job with everything else.... I mean that Sincerely

okay the 2 1/4" x 1/2" piece of PVC, that is glued it onto the 1 1/2" PVC tube is how it locks. its like posts. the 2 1/4 x 1/2 piece slides through the notches in the rings to allow it to unlock

Can you please be clearer on the sanding part, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to sand exactly. I get how the rest goes together, but I don't have the PVC here with me right now so i cant fiddle with it. If someone could post a response to help me or if you could update it, it'd be much appreciated.
