YUANQING BLUENOSE - Peter Voogt [COMPLETED BUILD]

Very nice showcase Peter. And yes do keep left in Scotland. Although there are quite a few single-lane roads the further north you go, so keeping left becomes less important. What you must watch out for are Scotsmen, they're a mad bunch ROTF. Seriously though, enjoy the trip. I have family in Scotland and have spend many pleasant times up there. Head for the west coast Highlands for sure, Skye, etc, very beautiful indeed. Enjoy, and keep safe Thumbsup

Thanks, Mark. We go all around and through Scotland and a whole day for Skye. And I know to behave to Scotsman. After introducing myself as Dutch I alway asked them: are you Brittish? Alway good for the ‘reaction score’. ROTF
But after that I make my sincere apologies, because I know….
Regards, Peter

On to the final: installing the glass plates.
After the necessary thinking and reasoning in which order I should place the glass and glazing bars, I started assembling the top.

Made the rebates in the glazing bars to the correct, slightly wider width. Provide the 4 glazing bars with an extra layer of linseed oil so that the sealant and glue do not adhere to the outside. Provide the rebates with a layer of gray sealant and the corners with wood glue. The 4 glazing bars placed around the glass:

With the help of the Occre brass corner profiles, everything was placed at right angles and tensioned with a tension strap:

Then put the 4 corner glazing bars together with the pieces of perspex in the 4 corners as temporary corner reinforcements and alignment:

Finally, the bottom plate temporary installed the other way around, with the corner glazing bars in the recesses:

On the floor a check with 2 squares whether everything is square.
Then the base can dry for a while.
Regards, Peter

Installed the 4 standing glas plates yesterday. The sealant and adhesive should now harden:

Experimentally this was not the case this morning........ ;) Wanted to start cleaning the windows too quickly.
In terms of weight, it is manageable.

The LED's are still working:

But this is why I wanted to start cleaning. Because of the flowing light you see EVERYTHING!
