My missus is glad to see me reducing the size of the outdoor treasure pile now that I'm making things with a bit of it. And the shop/storage shed seems to get larger when I do that too for some reason. I can actually crawl in there, now! Hmmm wonder when the next flea market is.... ps. I've read of a few first cupolas which didn't have enough blast to start with, and you may have a cupola extension, too some day, so that bad boy seems like a wise Plan A. |

I made a sheet steel template for marking out and the saw was set over and the lengths of plate were then cut into diamond shapes , the template was then used to mark out the radius's Then the plate was used as a drill jig to mark the hole centers. The four on the left have temp holes drilled into them for fixing to a fixture for boring , they will be drilled and tapped after welding to tubes . Time for some lunch me thinks . Rob |

Wow, nice! |
| Rob.Wilson:
A bit more progress :dremel: Flanges were bored in the lathe . Then the tubes were welded to the flanges , three washers were used to give some offset for welding. Tacked welded These will be welded to the wind belt after I finish the machining them . Rob |
