THU 19.05. - tipi model





During the making of this model, I have made some changes to the design as it was so far: 
- only have two rings - one at the top, one at the bottom. The top ring has half members (6) than the bottom (12) , so they can easily be balanced/tensed with cables. 
- Additional rings would make the connecting of the rings a complex exercise (not good for DIY) 
- Strictly sticking to 1m length for the timbers - as easy as poss. 
- canvas would be attached to the cables prior to pulling up, so there are just two pullies - one for top ring, one for bottom ring. 
- considering 'doubling of the number of layers in each ring 4 instead of 2

thats it
