cleaned up a little
« on: January 06, 2012, 12:34:55 am »
Had some spare time in the basement and decided I would build a little rack out of some home grown bamboo and a roll of electrical tape lol.

It's tillered more circular lol.  There is no doubling up anywhere...just an teepee style rack with four bamboo sticks at each level.  Its a lot stronger than I thought for some single stack bamboo.  The whole thing flexes with the weight but it holds.  Took a total of about 15 minutes.  I like the look.

I like it, it's a prime example of using what you got on hand. Ron

Nice job. I think the Japanese make some serious scaffolding from boo. Its no doubt incredibly strong.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

I think the Chinese use it more. I saw quite a bit of it when I was over there. Several stories high.

Yup, it was the China. I seen video of crazy high scaffolding made from boo. I would say it can hold its share!
