harv Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 If this is the wrong section, please move. So this is the "Opera" set. The biggest they have. Cost, $ 400. But when I ordered back in November, I got free shipping. Which I guess is substantial. As you can see in the first pic, big box has a bunch of smaller boxes. Each smaller box has LOTS of parts. This first piece will be the center section. More to come......harv 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Harv I assume that is particle board, Use Tightbond II white glue and tape together the parts overnight. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harv Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 Ok first installment. 1 corner section. Everything fits very well so far. Very snug. I'm using my thick CA for this. I need a new bottle anyway. Total of 13 pieces. Side sections then top and bottom.....harv 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[CAT]CplSlade Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 What is so different about the Loctite 401 as opposed to other superglues? That price is mentally aberrant. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harv Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 The sides , floor and top are 9 mm thick. As far as assembling it , it's been a nice pause in plastic ! There are 4 of the corner pieces..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
