Hi Arjun, this structure is typically used for roofs. It was popular in the USA in the 1960's for banks and churches. A google search of "hyperbolic paraboloid roof" will show you some examples.

It is a model for a sculpture, and a sculpture in itself.

Yay!

Yes, it's 3/8" dowel from the hardware store. This design is sometimes used for roofs because it creates a curved plane using straight lumber.

You have excellent taste.

Thanks man!

Thanks man. I just started filming this year and I LOVE having the entire experience to refer to. It's so much better than what I would otherwise remember, like just the strike, or a jump. How has your season progressed? Looking forward to more gorgeous footage from your adventures.

@@JamesThatcher_jtnwdc agreed about using film for the memories. A lot of times you find a fish when your mind is completely out of it. Been a struggle up here but hopefully have some springer videos soon and maybe one last steelhead video. Finally got a head mount. Can’t say it looks good on me haha

@@PerkBuilders It's hard to figure that camera angle on the head mount. Think "45 degrees" and do some test footage. The last couple fish I've caught have been spawned out--thinking of baggin' it for the season, maybe (!)

Thank you, Mike. This one is my personal best, but they get twice this big! Best wishes!

Thanks for persevering through all the lack of action to see the fish! I really wanted to communicate the feeling of actionless weeks. Caught another keeper that week, and another native fish today. Woot!

@@JamesThatcher_jtnwdc lot of inaction this year for me. That’s the way it goes. Luckily got a couple amazing days on film last week. You should check them out!

Let's work something out.

Hi Saram, The hypotenuse of the side triangles is 22.5". I had 48" dowels and wanted to get 2 lengths out of those. The fixture is a right triangle, 45 degree hypotenuse. Have fun with it!

​@@JamesThatcher_jtnwdc I don't believe the angles matter, but it is easier & prettier if they are symmetrical & parallel. (So the max-min point of the hypar is in the center of the structure, rather than offset.)

Thank you so much! I appreciate your comment here, too. <3

Bless your heart, Alf. The only references I could find to hyperbolic paraboloids was in architecture books, which I found incomprehensible. Then a hyperbolic paraboloid video showed up on my RUclips queue, in Spanish, that made it clear...I wanted to add an English version to the mix. Thanks for looking, and push that envelope!

@@JamesThatcher_jtnwdc me too thanks a lot

Hope you make a video of that!

So, I got a 3Doodler for Christmas...stay tuned for my version in weeks to come (maybe months?) Did you pursue it?

Thank you, I wish the sound hadn't been BANNED...you have excellent taste in large scale abstract art!

Those are wood lath strips, 48" x 1.5" x .25"; SPF.

This was a surprise to find! I hope to add a motor to strike the lines to keep the vibration happening...we'll see!

Sorry for not responding--somehow your comment didn't get to me...or I didn't know how to find it. I use the cheapest masking tape I can find, 3/4" or 19mm. The clear matte medium really does the work. If I'm taping over recently painted areas then I press the tape on my pants a couple of times to reduce the tack of the tape's adhesive. Best Wishes and thanks for your question.

+Conn Ryder Thanks Conn--I'm such a junior woodchuck of a "film maker"...it was fun to actually NOT use every moment of putting this together to communicate the process and product. Thanks for your comment and support!

Thank you so much, Steven. I've been on those textures for some time, but the math seems to be make it more accessible...it comes from jamesthatcherarts.blogspot.com/2014/08/a-moment-in-studio.html, if you're interested. Thanks again for taking the time to look and comment!

Thanks so much for your "Share", Wendy!

Thanks Wendy and welcome are a great joy to share whith you best wkishes from Argentina***
