Main Shutter is nearly complete.
I have made some more improvement to the Main Shutter, one being the roller bearings. I was not happy with them affixed to the timber, so I remounted them on right angle aluminium and then attached them to the shutter frame. If I need to replace one, it just makes the job easier. Also need to fix the spacing between the out-roller frame and the inner frame due to the remounting of the rollers.
Final task was to cover the Shutter frame with 3mm plywood. This was done with the Shutter frame in place and glued, covered with ply, stapled into position. Only task left is the cleaning up overhanging plywood, fill in the holes, sand and fiberglass the edges for waterproofing.
How well does it work, very well, Happy with the results.
So, the dome as a whole is almost complete.
Cheers
