spenc Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 Done two masts today the one on the right was the second improvement on first one not so much solder more to do tomorrow. Question what's the best way to put wires across baseboard join is it one mast by each board or loose fit wires to the masts. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold jcarta Posted April 17, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 17, 2020 Good question...... I would have thought to leave it loose fitted.. Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
