I finished leading and partially soldering Victoria, the panel.

Tomorrow, we flip it over and work on the second side. I hope to install it next Monday.

“The wind was blowing drearily. The lamps looked pale, and shook as if they were cold. There was a distant glimmer of something that was not quite darkness, rather than of light, in the sky; and foreboding night was shivering and restless, as the dying are who make a troubled end.”

“Dombey and son” Charles Dickens - 1846

I got in a few hours working on the after the transom installation this morning. I ended up re-cutting some dark violet that just wasn't working and went with the lighter violet for the border and background areas. Much happier and worth the extra effort.

I got a reprieve from the client who's not quite ready for it yet giving me an extra week or so.
