Your welcome, I am not clear about your QS , do you want me to build it for you or you want my thought

@@bramsafari6974 I was just asking what you thought.

you can build it on top of a concrete footing or any high footing to protect it from the rain fall so that it would not touch the dirt

@@bramsafari6974 TY for replying. I need to make a 1/2 basement or a 2 ft riser. Will that mess with the strength of the dome's/structure to much ?

@@frankenstein3163 No it wouldn't

So what does it say,since you seem to know it all...says to me he takes great care of his tools..next..........🙄

He doesnt have crap tools like you got....😅😂

Shoes are brand new too, just saying

Thank you

Thank you , I don't know how to rot proof it , the aim was to have it covered and use it as a temporary shelter but since I couldn't get it covered I moved away from building them ,

@@chiselwoodworking Another idea to look into may be E.T.F.E ( Ethylene Tetra Fluro Ethylene ) from Dupont . It's an ultimate film one might consider for stapling over the outside in triangles . It takes sixty pounds pressure to enlarge a knife hole in it ! ( available in various weights ) . It's Non biodegradable and can be recycled . All worth considering on an installment plan given it's value . Oh yes it's slick and self cleaning just like the non stick coating in frying pans . E.T.F.E is non combustible though it will melt . * * " Bucky Works " by J.Baldwin To keep moisture out the seams an iron might help for sealing since can be melted. One could experiment with foil between iron and E.T.F.E. though Dupont may have advice on this and any other matters .

@@chiselwoodworking One has noticed site videos showing how the Japanese wood charing technique is done . Seems pretty straight forward with a hand held constantly moving torch . The Japanese have used this method to rot proof their architecture for centuries . And it looks cutting edge natural just add some landscaping boulders and moss ( lol ! )

@@brentdobson5264 Hey Brent , Thank you so much for all the info .I will look into it

they are 10 degree

@@chiselwoodworking Thank You! 😁

the plan I got had issue with it so it took me a while to remediate it, I cut them with hand

@@chiselwoodworking Were there issues with the plan dimensions or….

yes there are mistakes in the plan sorry I cant help where they are since I am not building the dome any more

I also have the plans and found a few small dimension errors that took a little time to workthrough, nothing that was too difficult. Check and double-check.

I used vapour barrie from Rona , nothing fancy you can use any plastic sheet to wrap it around the insulation www.rona.ca/en/product/vapour-barrier-clear-500-sqft-66526-2264051?viewStore=55070&cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=9897044398&cq_con=101247314340&cq_term=&cq_med=&cq_plac=&cq_net=u&cq_pos=&cq_plt=gp&&cm_mmc=paid_search-_-google-_-aw_smart_shopping_generic_allproducts-_-71700000066353040&gclid=Cj0KCQiAiJSeBhCCARIsAHnAzT9SGuNAJZc5r_aN7OLj9tBSYfEkAPTIfE_M67fp4wJ41AU_c7gyH0saAnoTEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

On this one I think you are right since it was a model, but in general geodesics are immensely strong structures due to their geometry

as I stated it is a 9 meter , diameter dome . its height was 4.5 meter tall i dont remember its strut sizes since it was prefabricated build from china

Hope this gets you to the right direction

@@bramsafari6974 sorry I did send you the link to a manual so you could buy that but I dont see it here in the reply section so I am sending it again darwindomes.com/manual mind you it has multiple errors and you need to figure it out

@@chiselwoodworking I purchased those plans, what kind of errors are you talking about?

@@prestonthomas9406 I am sorry that I cant go through them and point out those errors , I am not building domes any more

I also have the plans and found a few small dimension errors that took a little time to work through, nothing that was too difficult. Check and double-check.

Thanks

Unfortunately , this was a prefabricated one from china with an assembly plan full of mistakes and I had to rectify the errors , So I dont have the exact plan for it

Olhe as rosas, não os espinhos

Yes there is a plan from the original creator of this type of the dome unfortunately he passed away and his plan was gathered by his son which we found out to be having many mistakes

Thank you Sir

No this is a prefabricated Chinese one , metal strut, Bolts & Nuts

@@chiselwoodworking how much?

@@gta-6837 I don’t know how much the client paid for it , I don’t recommend you buying it from china , it was a brutal process to assemble it, the manual was all wrong and we had no contact with the company to ask for support

They probably bought it cheap but it took them 6 months to get to Canada

@@gta-6837 if you live any where in North America I suggest purchasing it through a reputable company which are quite a few around

There is a phone number on the banner. If you can make it out. Also a website. I can't tell what it says.

I am sorry but I moved away from making these domes

@@chiselwoodworking - have you moved away from making these domes due to complications with Darwin Dome's design/engineering? I am interested in whether you have found another solution for timber geodesic domes?

@@realclt I did move away from these dome s because 1. i wasnt getting enough orders to build 2. I found them to be very expensive to cover and insulate so I decided to suggest an A frame homes instead

what do you mean ?

Did you find the angles of the joints?

I think it's 10 degrees

I believe it is 17

I think there are just a few different lengths of the struts, that get more when the frequency of the dome increases. You have to know where they go, but not really so much the angles, if you know the lengths the angles take care of themselves.

18

After eight months Being in the shop I can attest it Does work

I do, and now that we are in winter time it actually serves the Insulation purpose as well .

Thanks Alex , I do take custom orders

@@chiselwoodworking Awesome! May I ask what is the best way to get in contact with you?

@@AK-lz2uo send me your email so I can give you my cell Plz , bram@miniaturewoodshop.com

I am sorry but that was all what I wanted to show . that was my attempt to see how the soundproofing turned out to be
