A bit more dome cutting...

Just a quick update, managed to cut all the panels out of the outer dome.  Then spent a few hours smoothing all the edges and getting rid of all the sharp edges. Used a file, then some 300 grit sandpaper followed by some steel wool.  Got all the edges nice and smooth.  I'll be sanding and polishing the actual outside of the dome a bit later.



Next step is to cut the inner dome panels that aren't already partially cut after lining up the inner and outer domes and marking the cut lines.

Now all the sharp edges are gone it's pretty easy to put the two domes together and separate again.  The fit looks ok at he moment as well.


That's all for now....
