Month: March 2016

I’m using 6mm x 60mm for the single thickness assemblies and 6mm x 80mm for the double thickness ones.

After making the first layer of each side wall, the second layer went quickly because we just used the first layer as the template and cut it with the flush trim router. Then we ran a 1/2″ round-over bit along the edges of both sides (except the edges that attach to other walls). The left side wall just needs some channels routed to run the wiring and hold the 12 volt transformer. Next we’ll drill attachment holes and trial fit the sides to the back wall. Then Barb can start priming those while I work on the front wall. I’m saving the hardest part (the eight sided towers) for last.

Not much progress for the last two weeks but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been busy. We had Holly for two weeks and I spent as much time with her as I could. The best two weeks of my life.

The last thing I did was cut a window in the wrong place so I made a patch for the hole.

 

Tonight I made a circle cutting jig for my router and cut the archway for one of the sidewall doors. We finished cutting and routing the doorway and called it a night. (The arch came out really nice)

I got the small window template done and cut the first window. Two more small windows to cut on this side.
