Free wood to build my dome



This is the B-C-C triangle from the previous entry. It's now "covered" from the top pieces of the pallet. I used 1 1/2 inch screws to anchor them in place. Since the wood will split when adding screws that close to the edge I had to pre-drill holes. Luckly I had 2 drills. One setup with the drill bit and the other with the phillips bit for driving in the screw.



This will be the last triangle I make until the foundation is done and the riser walls are complete. Since this is a small dome I'll be using concrete footings instead of a full foundation.



Here is a good site that has a lot of good info and pictures
