He made them slightly conical and a tiny tiny bit bigger.
I sanded the bits til the first mm slided in.
Used the bench vice to carefully press them tightly.

No drawings, this piece is inspired by a depth gauge I bought from Elias years ago. (pic one)
I would love to make a hyper dome plexi, ( like I did on the second pic) but the buddy who asked me to build it wants a moderate one. ImageImageImage
