How did you solder the wires together? I find soldering to thick gauge wire a pain straight up where the sun don't shine!

How do you straighten out the wire??? What is the size of the pieces of straightened wire? What is the spacing of the template parallel lines?
Great photos!

To straighten the wire I used a drill. Just twist about ten seconds or until it gets straight.

For the construction, here is a dome calculator. Just set the dome radius and the calc will give you the size of the pieces.

I hope you enjoy it.
