ok i'll bite - a split piece of wood

Shawnee123 · 08-02-2007, 10:41 AM

Yep, looks like planks to me.

I'm sure the little black tape marks are supposed to mean something... but who the hell knows what.

Ahhh, it's a map to the solution. A la The DaVinci Code.

I've got it! It's some pieces of wood!

Whatta ya want, "the wood I had around behind my shed that had spiders under it and then I built a treehouse out of it" ???

It's some wood you had bundled up with your steel strapping machine, and then you unstrapped it and took a picture of it?

HungLikeJesus · 08-02-2007, 11:24 AM

I agree with Clodfobble. I think the tape should be the focus, and the 2x8 boards are distracting us.

Is it a layout for rafters?

Uisge Beatha · 08-02-2007, 11:32 AM

Yeah, the marks have been irking me, too. It seems obvious enough they must be some sort of guide, but I can't really tell if they match the taper in the pieces of wood. That is the other thing to me; the second and third shots show splitting the boards into wedge shapes which form the arc visible in the first photo.

Well, BigV, are you making a really, really BigFan?

I think that the boards are straight. The arc is an optional illusion.

Maybe in post 124 that's true, but post 127 is clearly tapered.

He's building the boat that we will take to Ram Island!

Uisge Beatha · 08-02-2007, 11:46 AM

A boat? Great!

Wait, uh, do we call him BigN(oah) now?

glatt · 08-02-2007, 12:07 PM

At first I thought you were finally getting around to showing how you built your kayak, and this was just before ripping strips to form the hull & deck, but you wouldn't be doing big long taper cuts like that. So I have no idea.

Are you making a big circular picnic table?
