Unfortunately, I have no work log pictures (of the painting etc..), but this is still a work in progress

To do list:

The Side Panel Window (Updated 5/26)

Tools:

Workbench:

Assistant:

Part 1: Taping & Drawing

Painters tape + outline drawn with right angled ruler

Compass, right-angled ruler, and pencil get the job done

Close-up

Part 2: Cutting

Test run with 2" holesaw = fail

Decided to scrap the holesaw idea, went with jigsaw all the way around. Result:

Screwdriver got me

Post-file/sand

Sneak peak:

Part 3: Attaching the window Update! 5/26

Tools: Double sided masking tape (thin), utility knife, piece o' cardboard.

Applying the tape

Close-up

Flipped

And there it is

Update with pics! Check OP.

BTW. Does anyone know if/how i can fix the scratches on the side panel to the right of the hold?

whe3ls · 05-25-08

you could just re paint the pannel

xHassassin · 05-25-08

Yeah, and there's some other compounds for filling in scratches, which don't work as great as simply repainting it.
