[PSUBS-MAILIST] sphere construction,

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Kieth,For the sake of weight, I want to strap the sphere, plus it will keep the sphere smooth.   Ideally I would drill through the centre of the rings and counter sink bolts in, but that is a no no.Hank

 Hank,
How about bolting them together along with the glue.

Hi all,Today I had an idea that would not have been possible before I had a big lathe.  I can buy a series of 4 inch thick rings and machine them flat, glue them together to create a sphere.  The rings can be machined individually so when glued together I have a sphere.  The beauty of this is I can have additional thickness where I need it, like the hatch land.  The ring that makes up the hatch land can be thicker.Any reason this is a bad idea.Hank_______________________________________________
