More Dremel Tool Work

Next, I used a diamond cutting disc in my Dremel tool to cut through the holes I drilled earlier. The drilled holes help alot with guiding my disc and helped me keep the Dremel steady so it did not not run off on me. Once this is done, you should have four "pie panels" and you should be able to CAREFULLY bend each panel back and forth until they release from the dome.






Here is a photo of the "pie pieces" being pushed out.



Here is a picture of the hole after the cut panels have been removed
