Once it is determined that all of the parts fit and everything works, it is time to completely disassemble everything and finish the parts. The aluminum is gold anodized. The brass is lacquered. The wooden parts are given 2-3 coats of clear gloss varnish. Once everything is dry it is time to begin assembly. Above is the camera base after finishing (left photo). First the front and rear drive mechanism is installed. The white objects on the axles are the Teflon focus dampers (right photo).

Next the front and rear focus sliders are installed and mated to their gear drive. Then the rear standard box and hardware are installed.

The rear standard box folded.

The front standard assembly.

Here is the entire camera body fully assembled.
