I'm Going to Toot My Own Horn Here Just a Bit
Advertisements [?]Edited on Sun May-18-08 12:27 PM by petgoat
Almost 18 months ago I shared these sketches, which didn't
go over very well here.
I'm not an engineer. I've worked in construction and read
lots of books on building and I operate a lot in the failure
mode through taking on the repair of hopelessly broken stuff
other people consider garbage, and when I'm building stuff
for my own use I deliberately underbuild it to try to generate
instructive failures. My first project was as a
five-year-old--a chair that provided an interesting (and
instant) shear failure when I sat on it.
I have reason to believe that one of these days you're going to
see some diagrams from more authoritative sources that look
something like these
.

Chicken Wire DUmmy is the perfect storm of DUmbness. That was a great day, just like today. Sigh. DU, I love you when I hate you.
