Flotation Mirror Cell Design (continued).

Thank you Geoff, Ian and Phil for your advice and input. I have been discussing a 6-point cell with Satchmo (Mark) at length today, and the pros and cons of various designs and construction methods. All your advice sounds quite valid and makes sense, so I will sit on it and weigh it all up over the next week or so. I have designed a 6-point and 9-point cell based on my calculations.


Flotation Mirror Cell Frame.

I welded up the frame today, using 20mm square tube for the horizontal rungs and 20x5mm flat bar for the side rails. I had to cut a slot for the welding clamp as I had nowhere to attach it! I am pretty happy with the end result. I might even get it powder coated as I know someone in the industry who may be able to help.
