In Building Materials class tomorrow we're doing something to explore tensile structure.
Here's the treasure hunt of a supply list we'll need:
16”x 16” x 1/2” thick homasote
Sewing thread / Sewing needle – mid size is best
1 pair queen size pantyhose – white
white glue
push pins / straight pins
wooden dowels ( 2-0 long and 1/4” diameter will be sufficient)
Optional - Metal rods ( approx 3/16” diameter)
Bring adequate cutting tools – scissors, small saw, utility knife, etc.
Should be fun!
Also, we went up to Boston today for our final meeting with the Pine Street Inn folks. The next time we'll see them is at the review on December 15th. The laser desk model fared very well - just a few more tweaks needed. We'll be laser cutting once more this Sunday evening to ensure the dimensioning and structure is sound. The best part is they're leaning towards the linseed oil / beeswax natural, no-VOC finish that I was hoping for. It's the one on the top. Second choice is the darkest of the "Georgian Cherry" in the middle. It matches the existing stained Wainscot perfectly.
