All I need to do now is go to Home Depot and acquire a 4x8 sheet of 1/4" Masonite. I'll have them rip that down the middle length wise, and this should be enough to make the backbone of the helix. Then it's time to call a work session and hopefully get a few of the guys over to help me with this. I think this will definitely be a two to three person job to get the helix figured out and up.
Thursday I received the smaller radius curves which means I have all the parts except for the Masonite spline. Here are all of the pieces stacked against the helix frame. |
I laid out a test section of one radius just to see how well the carpentry students did. They did a great job! |
No excuses now. We'll find out soon enough if we can get this backbone style helix figured out and up. Stay tuned.
