Fluesheet's Shelf Layout

[Fluesheet]

Hey folks;

The joint bars were mounted this past week, and look fantastic. Unfortunately, there was some flange interference; I suspect that they are sized for proto87 flange profiles. A few passes with a flexi-file restored clearance - the decision whether to continue to use them on the inside of the rail will be left for later. I sure like the look though! I also have yet to experiment with the etched metal joint bars; they will definitely leave enough clearance, at the expense of some detail.

Some photos of the crew at work:

Dietrich tightening up one of the newly mounted joint bars. This step was completely redundant since he had used medium viscosity CA glue from a huge bottle, applied to the rail with a pike (T-Pin) to attach it earlier.

Side view detail. Very Nice!
