More Dome Work:

I decided to mount the HDP ring that comes with the 300mm dome to the inner dome. First, I drew a pencil line around the base of the inner dome at the height of the plastic ring. Then I marked drill holes every few inches in the middle of the ring. I then counter sunk all the holes with a counter sink bit and attached the ring inside the inner dome. I bought new screws since the ones supplied with the dome require a Torx screwdriver, that I didn't have, so I picked up the same size screws with a Philips head instead. Once the base ring was mounted, I got to work tracing all the panel lines onto the inner dome, using the outer dome as a template. Now came the part that had me a little nervous....cutting holes into the inner dome! I broke out my trusty 2 1/2 inch hole saw and drilled a pilot hole into the upper pie panel to create an opening for the top holo-projector.
