Murphy has just popped his head out again! Drilling my last hole in the center hole. the pane chipped out big. Here are some pic's. Most likely I can not us this bottom pane. I have a spare piece of glass, but it has to be cut, and drilled. It is L48XW24. So I could get the bottom pane and the top bracing out of it.


I guess it is time for a Jager and 7!

The chip doesn't look too bad in the photo .. ? I think if the bulkhead covers it you'd still be OK. Although I guess if you have a spare piece anyhow then there's no harm in starting over.

Having drilled my share of pieces over the years, one thing I wish I had at my disposal was a drill press.

Where the chip out is on the dry side. I have talked to another reefer. He said the same. I am tempded. I need to fined a place that cuts glass and how long it would take them.
