This is just attempt #3, so be kind . . .

. . . I went way out of my way to light this to make it look as bad a possible . . .

. . . just wait'll you get a load of the first two! :lol:

There are a pile of factors that could be why this turned out with a lot of flaws, but I'm really happy with the progress made in three attempts . . .

. . . best foot forward . . .



. . . better than anticipated, especially when smoke billowed out of the oven from the roasted can labels! 8-o

Decent lookin toes on best foot . . .



. . . nice fit on top and right sides . . .



. . . nice top edge fit . . .



. . . nice right edge fit . . .



. . . rough fit on the left edge . . .



. . . bottom edge had a definite gap as well . . .

. . . but the bolt holes got screwed up so there's next to nothing holding the lower left corner . . .

. . . so the bottom and and left sided attached to that corner aren't fitting well . . .

. . . we'll see what happens when I finish the frame, mount the foam gasket around the edge of the base and tweak time/temp curves . . .

. . . and use the four concrete bricks I brought home for non-flammable supports! :approve:
