Thanks for video...

Nice video. Good work, progressing nicely. You probably know this already but in addition to the 2 clips to hold the top frame to the pivot pins there are 2 plastic and one metal washers that fit over those pins as well. The plastic ones help to reduce friction when raising and lowering the frame. Metal ones provide a stronger surface behind the clips.
Order on the pivot pin should be:
Plastic Washer - P/N N012560P
Top Bow
Plastic Washer - P/N N012560P
Metal Washer = P/N 311827197
Pivot Clip - P/N N0126481
Plastic washers can be made from some PVC plastic. A little thicker than a milk bottle but they're pretty cheap to buy.
