Boredom in my book is written on the door to god's waiting room. If you want to make it make well for everything else there is IKEA

boredom is the wrong word.. (well, it's the right word in my head but i'm not using the right definition for it)..

more along the lines of-- for whatever reason, this concrete/steel idea is exciting to me and i look forward to building it..
as long as i have that aspect going for me in a project, the project becomes fun and more easy..

if i'm not excited to do it and i'm strictly working for the money, it becomes such a drag and the days feel twice as long..

something like that.

Ok then, can you add a "I really don't give a shit" Icon. So we don't expend any energy on the answers we give.

rich would have to do that..

fact is, i do give a shit.. lots of what is being said has already been discussed/thought through so my responses are filling in the background info.

the stuff that i haven't discussed or thought through is the maths / forces which are happening here.. in fact, i don't even know how to do that..

it will be sweet when we get the ability to do this stuff in user friendly_ish programs.. basically, in this case, assign the material then turn on gravity.. apply side force.. have susan and sang jump on top.. etc..
ie- Engineering for Everyone!!

poured it.. wrapped it in plastic for a week while i was in seattle.. came back, removed the forms, sealed with tk6..

the thing is super solid/strong.

(in west texas now for a few weeks.. a little bit more work for this cafe once i get back to nyc.. i'll post a final update when all is complete)

Robust!

DOD3R

looks good,
I was wondering what happened to this project.
I have some questions so if you can ahare can you tell me:
Which kind of concrete did you use?
How did you make the corners, touch friendly, I guess consistently rounded is what I am trying to say?
How does it perform thermodynamically is it could for sitting ?
