Sliding Shutter construction

So, for the pass week been routing out the bits and pieces to construct the Sliding Shutter for the observatory. You would think after the number of cuts I have done with the router this would be straight forward. No, had to recheck my math to get the right radius. Once that was done everything fell in place and I am happy with the results.

This piece of Sliding shutter runs on the inside of the tracks, still finalising the roller bearing design. Kind of leaning towards two more plywood arcs outboard of the inside frame which will be fitted with the roller bearing. These will be affixed to the plywood cover via screws so to be able to remove shutter when need be. A future photo of the idea probably will clear up any miss conceptions.

Cheers
