[Boozlefoot]

Plywood, fibreglass, fixings and cement all now stored. Awaiting delivery of steel ring roll former and the subsequent rolling (by self) of the base ring. 2.4 metre diameter. (That will probably be 3 bottles of red timewise, and much cursing!) Using screwed steel strap behind panels during construction, then fibreglass strip over filled joints outside, then eggshell blue pondpaint finish. Aperture will be a "lift out", 2 panels wide (+800mm) by 2nd and 3rd panels down. This gives a complete circumference above and below the aperture for strength and rigidity. Finally, I'm getting underway after procrastinating over dome vs ROR. Will house the 10" SCT on handmade GEM/GOTO. Completion June 2018?
