: Forget trying to make slots of your carbon fiber. Buy a carbon

: Just use a few drops of hotmelt glue or fast setting epoxy to hold

Hi Paul,
Once you wrap the glass over the two sides and try and mate them up again, your tube won't line up it seems to me.
You will have to recess the wood between the hinge sections.
