Nothing beats good old failure mode testing :) Do you design much with machine time optimization in mind?

Nice work. Did you do any FEM work on this one?

Frihand. Har funderat på att skaffa en jig eller ett portablet kedjesågverk men man klarar sig väldigt bra på bara en bra såg och vass kedja. Jig kräver dessutom en ytterligare perosn för att funka effektivt, något som begrånsar en del. Asp är mjukt så det borde gå lätt men som de flesta skandinaviska lövträn ruttnar det fort. Vi använder bara gran o furu.

Hmm, verkar visst finnas lite byggare i GBG iallafall. Anmäler mig gärna som frivillig!

Jepp, allt material kommer från platsen. Lägger upp stockarna på några kossar och har klyvkedja på en lite större såg. Tungt arbete men i längden mindre omständligt än att transportera dit plank & dessutom blir det snyggare :)

I mainly work solo so I'm not entirely in touch with the building community, but judging by all the new trails popping up everywhere I'd say the building's pretty active. Let me know if you're ever back Wink
