Tower Base

17/8/07

I had considered not bothering with this bevel specified in the plans as its such a huge piece of metal to rig up in a lathe, I wasn’t even sure I could get it done.  Anyway, I contacted the PSUBS group to ask peoples opinion.  There was mixed responses with some people believing it is just cosmetic to smooth the appearance of the transition from tower base to tower itself, and other people that say its to eliminate a discontinuity.  Anyway, im still not 100% sure its needed, but I didn't want to take the risk.  So, I managed to find a place that had a lathe big enough to take the piece and its now ready to be cut to shape.
