The lack of reportable progress recently is owing to multiple issues, including critical path issues that are yet unresolved.
Prior to proceeding with the installation in the electrical cavity we want to have all details resolved, including the fold-down doors being installed. As of this time, that is the biggest obstacle. While the doors themselves are ready to mount, the hinges I selected for these doors require a hole 11 mm deep, and part of the area where the hole must be drilled is only 1/2" thick. A Forstner bit used to drill the 35 mm diameter hole will therefore penetrate the face of the door, and this isn't acceptable.
An alternative has been mocked up, but won't be available to test until tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Sean has acquired a bandsaw to assist in creating the mountings in the electrical cavity, among many other future tasks and alternative uses, and today was spent assembling the saw.
If there's only one area where we agree (and there are certainly many, many more ...) it is in having the proper tool for the job. A bandsaw is actually long overdue.
Please stay tuned ...
