  2. Would you mind adding some physics to this?
  3. That's really nice!
  4. i've looked at a couple of projects with bent laminations but never pulled the trigger. Your description of the effort reminds me that much more time goes into planning and setup than actually goes into executing. One of the things I enjoy about 'construction' projects is that accuracy is more forgiving. If you cut a stud too short you can just toss it aside and start over or put in a shim. Woodworking requires you to be 'on' all the time.
  5. Har! 😂 I once built a chicken coop in my basement then had to disassemble it so I could get it out the door. Uh, derp!
  6. Oh come on. Do a little work.
  7. Nice work! Love all the detail. What types of wood are in there? Looks like some walnut and birch maybe? Was that bent wood difficult?
  8. No insulation. We added the vents to help with the heat and installed electric so we can put a fan up there if needed. We did build with an eye to possible insulation later though. For example the interior walls are covered with plywood siding (like the outside) and installed with screws so we can easily remove if necessary. Although that would reveal the surprise I left for future generations who might open the wall for some reason. 😀 I didn't know that about the standard trusses, thanks for the info. As it turned out the trusses were built "to code" but since as you say the roof is relatively light, they are no more robust than I would have built myself. It was a really fun project with lots of family members who joined in to help periodically, including little kids who got to drive screws for the first time. And the day always ended with beer and BBQ.
  9. YES! WE KNOW! SO EFFING WHAT?!?! Why do you keep repeating this?
  10. No, it didn't. Do you think it got up and walked away? Just admit you were wrong and move on. This kind of argument makes you look childish.
  11. This makes no sense. If you are driving to Denver and you've traveled 100 miles in that direction, you are getting closer to Denver. If you suddenly realize Denver was actually 1000 miles away instead of 200 miles away, you are not FARTHER from Denver than when you started. You are still closer, you just know more now about how long the drive actually is.
  12. I did so just a few minutes ago. I took a drink of water that had some sodium in it.
  13. Because he knows that support for freedom is fickle and people will let him get away with it. All he has to do is have patience. He knows there are people like you around who will give in.
  14. What is worse is a third party deciding for you that you must make one decision over the other. It is up to Ukraine to decide if they wish to fight. It is not up to you, Trump and Putin.
  15. So... You couldn't find the description of the model showing how plate tectonics works, and what I provided wasn't good enough because it was only the description of the model showing how plate tectonics works. My grandmother can troll better than that.
  16. Were you able to take a look at the summary of the theory you asked for?
  17. You don't even know how to spell her name but think you understand Harris and Trump policies. I was going to take your advice but have decided instead to take the advice of my Magic 8 Ball.
  18. Do you really not know her name or was that a childish insult?
  19. Were you able to take a look at the summary of the theory you asked for?
  20. Here is a nice overview of the theory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_tectonics
  21. Please try to stay on topic.
  22. Maybe you can open your own thread dedicated to all the ways the world has wronged you over the years.
  23. If so, which seems a reasonable analysis, I can't help but think they have really opened themselves up to a small disaster. I imagine Israel has pulled out the file called "Operation Blow Up Iranian Nuclear Facilities" and is wondering if now is the time to execute as they've got pretty good cover for a direct attack back on Iran. Secretly going after centrifuges worked well when the world would scream if you instead dropped bombs on them. Now that Iran has sent hundreds of missiles at Israel though, she can respond in kind. While the world won't like it, they'll likely accept sending missiles at Iran's nuclear facilities as a reasonable, if harsh, response.
