>Sub-structure




Two weaving approaches were taken-weave within the grid and weave within the wing nut points. There seems to be more logic and dependability from weaving within the grid. I would like to try a notched scheme that would allow the fishing line to become more integrated to the members.

hmmmm.... not sure that is a good solution after seeing it. how about much thinner pieces of acrylic for this? thin strips of wood? something more hand driven than computer driven but with craft and precision.. what do you think?

I agree-the fishing line becomes too precarious. I think the thinner acrylic would be more interesting-wood would be difficult manipulate i believe. Much thinner in scale then the structruc members, and perhaps notched within the whole structure in a tab like scheme to lock the members all together...

thoughts on the form shown in the rendering?
