Tell us what you did today on your Bearhawk Project

I installed the left windows. Actually I did it several times! I ended up creating two C channels that were 1.5” x .625” x 1.5”. I notched them to clear the stand off tabs for the window frames. That was the easy part. The curved part of the “D” window was the hard part. I tried several options. Ultimately my dad fabricated the curved part out of an .025 sandwich. It slid over the channels that ran the length of the window with enough overlap to create enough rigidity. It came out good, so far. When I cover the interior I’ll know for sure.

Looks great, Brooks! Will a standard sewing machine handle that fabric density, or do you use a commercial grade unit?

I'm using a commercial grade Juky sewing machine I use for Upholstery. I did not try it on my light wieght standard machine. I think it would sew it up with a measure of difficulty though.

turns out our main county library has a laser cutter! maple veneer, dyed, epoxy + white + glow powder experiement. TBD on the addressable led backlighting
remaking after messing up the clear coat - but they are easy enough to redo.
