self-built one of these, using 2x4x8' hemfir in '83, in woods NW of Tallahassee, FL. Insulated, drywalled, on pt wd pier foundation, door/window, cable-supported loft, shingled. we were all kids once 🙂 heck, might do it again, now that I see their STILL making those connectors. Better to thru-bolt the framing, kids!! buona fortuna.... >>a window is alot easier/weather-tight than a skylight 🙂
Very good point! So much so that I probably will replace those screws with ones with plastic washers that won’t crack the plexiglass over time. Thanks for watching and the suggestion.
I fall asleep while watching UA-cam, the auto playlist is showing your new videos while I’m sleeping. And I wonder why you don’t have new videos… just figured out that I’m Couple of videos behind. Binge watching Sunday 😊😊😊
A 1v dome is the most basic geodesic, its only 25 struts :) If you use 8ft struts and a rigid covering you need to consider the board size of the rigid material (8x4 etc) with regards to waste and how you`ll fix it to an 8ft equilateral triangle with no internal timber struts to attach it to. Put a 21 degree bevel on the triangular cover panels for a nice fit.
Love Brent, and all of the BYOT projects! One question though… At the end of every intro he does… Does he say "let's get started"? It's always kind of slurred, and I just want to know if that's what he's actually saying…
Haha Thanks for the heads up/reminder Dan. That is what I'm saying and I guess I just need to slow down and relax when saying it so its a bit more clear lol! Thanks so much for all the support and helpful note on that.
How do you get the "plane" edge of a single triangle (part of a pentagon) to be flat under the USB and yet have that same edge be flat under the next sheet on the following triangle. The edges of each sheet of USB must be slightly up and not flat on each edge of the triangle?
Hello, do you use irrigation controllers in your daily life? I noticed that your video content is very good. If you need an irrigation controller, I would like to give you our latest smart irrigation controllers. Are you interested?
You are simply the best!! I am a 67 yr old woman and...you got me!

Looks wonderful 👏
Kids and adults aka big kids will love it 🥰
People of all ages are welcome haha :)

That's going to look pretty cool! I might have opted for those screws with rubber washer for those plexiglass panels.

Great build!
Scrails are great.... provided you dont use them with dewalt nail guns. Because they suck.

Can you link the siding that you used?
How do you get the "plane" edge of a single triangle (part of a pentagon) to be flat under the USB and yet have that same edge be flat under the next sheet on the following triangle. The edges of each sheet of USB must be slightly up and not flat on each edge of the triangle?
I don’t see the link in your link tree. Are you sure it’s there? Can you point me in the right direction?
🙏👏👍💪
Thanks for always watching!
Siding this thing looks like torture
Not torture but quite a bit of work lol! Thanks for watching.
