not all that much planning, we built one back in the 70's it took lots of time and consumables to keep it interesting amongst friends.

Thank you for your kind words! Always glad to help :)

I wish I need somebody else help me how to math dome.

@@michaelzajac5284 google for geodome calculator or go to geo-dome.co.uk/domeshop/article.asp?Uname=278 and buy a plan I did this and built kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oZdkZtBymrrecas.html&lc=UgzuqRTBt3IdU0rS65h4AaABAg

Thank you so much! My father is the one who built this, so I too admire his talent and time spent.

@ Excellent work! How much wood did you use? this really looks awesome and very impressive.

@@michaelzajac5284 "I wish somebody else..."

That's a great idea actually. As of 2021, the project is on hold, since the plastic covering is torn apart. We are trying to put Plexiglas instead.

It appears to be stapled to the exterior surface. The fun part was figuring out all the angles and lengths of the wood to fit together like a glove like that, that is where the knowledge is.

@@TheRebelmanone can't agree more, thank you for info

was this question or others ever addressed? or is there a email address to get these answers?

Thank you!

Excusez-moi, je ne parle pas français, mais je suis content que ma vidéo vous ait inspiré. Je souhaite tout le meilleur pour ta fille!

@ Thank you so much. Fortunately, google has an efficient translator. I wish you many more amazing and fun experiences. May God bring you blessing and ease to continue in your projects

Allo sirage Eddin j'ai fai une version de dôme pour une serre . si tu veux pour ta fille je peu te partager mes cottes . pour que tu puisse lui construire de quoi .

@@billygbob58 Salut Billy. Ça serait génial. Voici un mail que j'utilise pour le partage siragedinn@gmail.com Merci beaucoup pour ta générosité et sois en gratifié.

Bonjour, les dômes sont très faciles à construire, vous trouverez plusieurs calculateurs sur internet pour en dimensionner un et choisir sa forme. Si vous comprenez l'anglais je vous conseille cette vidéo qui est on ne peut plus claire quant au principe de la géométrie du dôme géodésique. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9NhZptpqMnbpYU.html Bon courage à vous et votre fille !

Mostly screws!

First of all, thank you ! The plastic cloth did not hold up well and we were aware of that from the start. Our plan was to have it as a contemporary solution until we get plexiglass, which is basically hard plastic that has many features of glass material.

@ Thanks Jovan for letting me know. Much appreciated!

Aquí dice cómo hacerlo. Saludos!!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gLiSh9x3sJjRZ6c.html

It was only a temporary solution really! We are now in the process of covering it with the plexiglas, which is a nice and cheap alternative to real glass and is plastic and completely transparent!

thanks! and if you come into some money, you can use polycarbonate!

I thin it's beautiful but I suspect when it's cool outside condensation will build up on the inside of the panels and drip to the wood and pooling in some places, causing mildew/mold/rot. Not sure how to prevent it?

This is actually my dad doing the work. I was just helping around and I edited this video..

@ Hi, great project looks fantastic. My dad is planing something similar but the cover foil is expensive do you have a recommendation or some plans? Greetings from Germany

@@MrTonkajoe We are in the process of switching to plexiglas, being a cheap and nice alternative to real glass which can be hassle and quite expensive and dangerous. I am not sure if this product is available in Germany, but I doubt that it isn't :) Good luck!

No, that was only temporary because it was summer. This was later on strictly used just as a greenhouse. But honestly, this is also a great idea if you want to keep the warm inside during summer if your country's climate does not give you enough warmth.

Exactly, I been wondering what are the angled cut degrees to make geodesic dome. I want to check my deductive reasoning solution, that is if a 3/8 or 5/8 dome or 3/8 of a 360° circle then divide the desired radius by layers. Let's say if 220°/10 layers = 22° so an 11° angle cut on both ends each layer. One may have to do a one dimensional layout to get the arch layer number and length of each cut before the math. I seen a dome built using straight linear layers in a Canadian university dome strength test, a video in Utube. I ripped that for the reference.

search for acidome geodesic dome calculator, its the first link and it does all the math for you!

This video helps a lot. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gLiSh9x3sJjRZ6c.html

Thank you Dragos. Yes. We used an online webpage which calculates the exact angles of planks based on how complex the build really is. It was as easy as just following the guide. You enter the wanted values, website calculates the result and gives a 3D model of the geodesic dome. You will also get full guide on assembly + all the required lengths of different planks. Really an unbelievable webpage.

@ You are probably talking about acidome.ru.I know the website,is very cool.In your project you cutted along the long side of your planks before start filming,right?Because there are no image of you cutting at a table saw (for "ripping" the planks-cutting them along the long side)

My father did most of the technical work so I really can't explain the procedure that well. All I know is that we prepared all the planks first, then assembled them into different parts and then assembled the whole thing. If you look at the start of the video, you can clearly see my dad cutting the planks on this table with different angles.

Its called a compound miter cut. So yes, they are mitered and beveled.

I advise you to visit the website that i provided in the description, because it automatically gives you a 3D overview with angles and lengths and everything.

Although this is much more satisfying and stronger, you can make this with a 5/8th kit + 15 more.6 way hubs from: buildwithhubs.co.uk

Yes Jorge, lbut it was not extra ring but 3/4 of the full ball :)
