Back my popular demand - well it is raining and I am bored - is the latest instalment in the series that it taking the internet by storm.
It this teaser trailer to the main movies you see me do stuff in preparation for other stuff
After your previous couple of posts I searched out tensegrity. I took me a while to wok out what was happening until I realised it was something suspended with other forces added to stop movement. Never heard of it before. This guy ups the ante with steel cable. I reckon cable and turnbuckles is the way forward. Or Dyneema obvs.
When I was studying civil engineering we had a lecture from a visiting German engineer. Frei Otto. One of the pioneers of tensile structures and designer of the roof for the Munich Olympic stadium, which was a big deal at the time. To say it was mostly over my head would be an understatement - as well as an unintended pun.
Robby Cuthbert was when I decided not to try a coffee table. He give great videos on how to if you want to try

I was wearing trainers instead of flip flops in the later videos. Okay, that was because it was colder but it could have been H&S taking effect
Just watched the 2nd episode. I do basic bits and pieces of woodworking fixing bits of wood to other bits of wood every so often. Learnt something new - cutting through a glued piece of wood to remove irregularities - might come in useful in the future. Don't have a workshop unfortunately, but if I did, it would probably look as chaotic as yours.
Only just caught up on this, when's the next installment???
I am enjoying the considerable jeopardy in your videos WCA. Keep em coming.
Did you ever finish the chair?
I forgot tp video that last bit but here it is completed apart from final paint and polish
