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.
@@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
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

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?

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.
Check out
Water activated Gorilla Glue
at their UTube channel
What glue did you use?
Titebond II
Use time lapse sparingly. It really hurts the overall production of this video.
Yes I agree
