- Gluing up the arches for the Gothic arch greenhouse
I ripped 2x6x10’ cedar boards into 1/2”x1-1/2x10’ strips. Glued together using tight bond II and clamped them for 24 hrs before taking them out of the clamps. I used 3 stainless steel screws on every spacer. 1”x 1-1/2” x 6” cedar spacers ripped down from 5/4” deck boards spaced every 12”. I put a 16” spacer at the bottom end of the arch for wall support.

Great job making the arches. I like the way you made your jig. Thanks for sharing my friend. Your friend Bryan
Great job, you do such good work. Could I use 4" pine and not worry about it braking? I want to bend a 12' board. It is for the top of a 10'x20' shed
Can you make a 7x16 Gothic arch shed?
@@sly123size you could definitely. I just built a 10x28 shed but I used standard truss design and straight walls. I wanted straight walls for shelves and storage
great job on the Greenhouse, looks great, when you build the arches does the open space between the two sets of boards add strength or do you think just gluing the 4 boards together into one solid arch would be stronger. Would love your idea on this. Thanks Great job.
Just like an I-beam (damn sans serif font!) one flange is in tension and the other in compression.
Anything along the neutral axis is just extra weight and money along for the ride.
How do u get such long pieces of wood to laminate like that
@@kevinm7734 thin cuts1/4” and slowly. They bend. It’s not that tight of a bend
how do you size or what are the dimensions of your arch spacer blocks? The ones inbetween the 1x3 arches.
The spacer blocks are 1-1/2”wide (that is the arch width) x6”long x1”thick
Thank you! Do you think there would be any benefit to making the spacer blocks thicker and pushing the bowed arches further from eachother?
@@IsaChentnik I think the wider the span would be okay. You lose height and depending on snow load you would be fine. The greenhouse I built is SOLID. I think it could snow a lot on my roof angle
The reason I made the spacers 1” thick is to accommodate the Purlins because I used 5/4” cedar deck boards which are 1” true
I'm interested to know if the glue held up to water in a green house? I was thinking something like Liquid nail as glue.
Yes the glue is holding up just fine.
It is now July 2 2021 and the glue is still holding great
I would have used Titebond III rather than II.

What glue did you use?
Titebond II
Use time lapse sparingly. It really hurts the overall production of this video.
Yes I agree
