Could make two rails out of all the wood you snagged, go from log to roof, screw it to the log, then you got a thing to slide all the metal on.

Still looking good, nice haul of stuff too.

@13igAdam2040 Yep. thats what I did. :-P

[madassbadgers]

love the look after the 'she's excited about the wood' comment.

the real problem with this setup is the blade is kinda small and you lose a lot with that mandrel behind the nut1"x4" to 4"x8" is about the usable range.

Now, I got one of those 20" Gravely-type blades that I would send you in exchange for a shirt and maybe a hat! has a 1" hole and the smaller holes for the screws to keep it from spinning. If you have enough motor it would allow about a 17" cut in 2 passes. the kerf is kinda wide but it was sharpened before I got it and it has carbide cutters

at 5:20 the vibrations from the nibbler makes leaves walk accross the roof metal :)

You make me happy.

I hope the last post went thru... anyhow to continue... overlap and zip tie together the ends of the lattice, stand it up to make a ring with it, then i am sure you can picture the rest... Mine worked great for 2 years (til a tree crushed it this spring), but i'll be making another one before winter. What do you use for poly ???, as i am getting tired of the pricey, yet low quality poly film and tarps available at the home depot.

[shirleymae30]

Hi Jaimie, I just watched a few clips, and i have to say...cool structure, I've made a few bowed stapping, and poly film roofs on a work shed and a pool house, and i have built several unique quick fab, low budget, home made structures, although on a much smaller scale than your dome. Here is a list for a dome i built for firewood, i call it the woodglue, it can be built with 4- 2'x8' lattice, 10- 10'x 3/4 grey conduit w/ 4-T's, a 100 or so of the black 14" zipties, rope, and a tarp thats it.

Prayers for your cold. Say! you might consider producing a T-Shirt video segment, 15-30 seconds, to tack on after the credits of each installment (eh, to be commercially evil, tack it on the front!). Of course, soon, your toys will make you a quadrillionaire so it won't matter, but still... repetition repetition repetition. cut and paste SOMETHING to remind folks about the T-shirts.
