ALUMINUM AND GLASS!

A trip to the scrap yard yielded some aluminum sheeting. A little elbow grease and some cleaning solution....and I had a beautiful, shiny piece of aluminum backing. Since the sinter board covers the center of the aluminum, I didn't have to work as hard! 

My first gluing attempt failed. I forgot that the glue needs some air circulation in order to cure.....so
on try #2 I laid up some spacers (probably overkill) and it worked! The finished product is something I am happy with.
