Hi All, I finally finished and installed the brass panels. I'm slightly disappointed with the back, which no one will ever see, but other than that I think they turned out pretty good. This was my fist experience with Brass and by far the most difficult challenge I've tackled yet. The brass "Crown" above was already there and was what governed the finish.

Hi all, I fit up the brass panels the other day and thought I'd post some picts. I've still got a little more to fabricate, but a window opened up where I could go up to the the altar so I went and installed the hinges. The chapel is run by cloistered nuns, which never leave, and there are only certain times that regular people can go up to the altar. The nuns are very sweet, but it's pretty intense to be around people so dedicated. I'll be sure to post picts when they are finished. On a side note, is there a pickle to remove the discoloration around the welds without turning the area to copper? The pickle we've been using seems to turn certain areas around the weld, but not the weld itself, a copper color. Some of the spaces are kind of difficult to get the buffing wheel in.
