I'm going to reprint the smaller one due to some warping, but the jig I designed for aligning the tiles on the glass hemisphere project looks like it will work nicely.

(Yes, the tiles should be reversed because we're now viewing from inside of the geoid. Except New Zealand, because I accidentally put them in the correct way. This was just a test fit )

The reprint of the upper half of the jig came out much better! Now I need to finalize the land mass design and start cutting the real glass. Mostly by hand, since most of it will be simple trapezoids of empty ocean, and then waterjet for all the land pieces and adjoining ocean tiles. (The goal is to have all solder joints be either coastline or latitude/longitude, and that requires some cut like for Tasmania there that just wouldn't be possible by hand. Not *my* hands, anyway.)

I soldered up the test wedge of the stained glass hemisphere, and while my soldering still needs some work, I think this is going to look pretty good in the final glass. Particularly backlit, mounted over the light tube in @avhn's living room, which was always the goal.
