Great news, Lorin! Let us know how it goes. You must be more skilled than I am, it took me several hours to bisect, tape, and hinge up half of a hexayurt by myself.
Lucas, I had already added the link to the instructions from the H13 page, but you're right, it's better to inline them at the wiki page. I took a stab at doing that. Everyone should feel free to contribute to the H13 instructions I added to http://www.appropedia.org/Hexayurt_H13#Alternate_design. -dou On Tue, Jul 19, 2011 at 10:04 PM, Lorin Basche <[email protected]>wrote: > So I'm almost done with construction.
