Modeling the Beams

Here is the latest mock-up.  I've added a plywood base that will stabilize the beams until they are screwed to the panels. I've also made them more organic and worked out the interior framing.  Building the first prototype soon.

Useful suggestions

Spent all day calling around looking for materials both here in Philadelphia and also in Boise, Idaho where I will do the final cutting and off site building. Kris suggested that maybe we could use glue and a nail gun to quickly get the panels together; the nails holding long enough for the glue to bond. If it could work it would make it so much stronger and faster to assemble. Excited to go do tests.
