the one place in youtube where everything is quiet and friendly, small-scale turtorial videos.

great video -- do you have a day 1 video of the balsa tower construction available. I'm working with 3rd grade boys in tower design and am looking for videos to show them.

There are two videos you can try. This first one is shorter and could be a little easier to understand for elementary students. - Balsa Tower Designing
This second one is more complicated but shows the step by step drawing for what we do in our middle school classroom. - Drawing full scale Tower Designs
Hope these help. ~Chris
