Today Erika, Sophie and Yvonne made a trip down to McIntosh Timber Laminates Ltd to ask for some advice about Glulam structures... and left with an incredible offer! It turns out they have premade arched members (7m in length) which they are happy to donate to us!
We have eight giant arches to work with, definitely able to cut them, split them, and stain them, now we just need to perfect a design :)
Oh and... these arches are worth a total of about $20,000... so we would be crazy not to use them!We will discuss more in the design session about what to do with these, (possibly incorporations with the aluminium pipes? or as a separate structure) but start thinking guys, we can never have too many ideas.
Also, keep looking out for sponsors, mention that McIntosh is being a great sponsor, just to show how important this whole thing is!!
Great progress at the moment, and full steam ahead!
(Check your emails for the drawings of these arches from Erika, and a bit about Nicola and Dylan's visit to the metal benders)
