But in my mind as I see the forces interact between panels the idea seems fairly good. I'll be interested to hear if it works out.

I am guessing you are not having an easy time though getting a putty knife (or possibly any knife) through the tape layers already on your panels, possibly because of the leftover tape gum. When I built my last yurt (the H12) I made a sled jig to attach to a basic jig saw. It wasn't quite as fast as the putty knife method, but it made clean accurate cuts and worked well. I am thinking you may need an active moving blade (bandsaw or jig saw or possibly circular saw) to cut through the tape cleanly. Using a straight edge guide with a circular saw might be your best bet. Most modern circular saws allow blade angle to adjust up to 45 degrees. --Wolf -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
