It's refreshing to see an American, not only using the Metric system, but finding it easier. Here in Australia, the construction industry generally sticks with millimetres (note the spelling), since 1275mm involves one less mental calculation than 1.275m. On a building site, just like with Mars probes, even simple miscalculations can cost big money. Loving the vids BTW, have watched two and am working my way through the rest.
60 degree cut 1st make a 30 degree cut on a scrap piece of wood, place that piece of wood with the 30 degree cut next to the back of your miter saw clamp it in place then place the piece you want to cut against the scrap piece move the blade over 30 degrees then cut. It works for me perfect 60 degree cut everytime
Would like to thank you for your videos and tips they help me a lot to build my own dome .Once i got the right saw.that is .lol That was last year, now i have the vegetable growing and doing well . My little edan..if i can doit anyone can .
Thanks for giving me the model. That's quite an expensive miter saw. I was hoping to get a tip on cutting a 60 degree cut on my miter saw that only goes to 50 degrees
@Contraindicaciones Thanks for the compliment. All of the "B" struts are 60 degree angles. They border the pentagons, but none of them are involved in a center hub connection. Only "A" struts are involved in pentagon hub connections. The "A" struts are the ones with 54 degree angles on one end and 60 degree angles on the other end.
all other dimensions. they are all fully functional aspects of the work, and therefore unless they have a patent on this dome, are all in the public domain.
@Submanca The manuel teaches you how to do the basic cuts and explains the principals behind building any dome. Once you understand the basics, which he teaches, you will be able to build any size dome at whichever frequency you choose.
It may be that you actually need 72 degree angle on one A side, 60 on the other. This would mean cutting 54 degrees twice (on one side). This is because 180 minus 54 minus another 54 equals 72, which should fit a pentagonal hub.
The Milwaukee, Dual-Bevel Miter Saw model #6955 (the saw I used) cuts 60 degree cuts. It only does this on the right. To the left it cuts 55 degrees max. This wasn't a problem. I just flipped the wood over and used the same side of the saw.
@ghog63 I assume you are referring to "Eden BioDome Revolution". Thinking of getting the book myself. How versatile would you say the book is for making different frequency domes, and various diameters? Just wondering. I love what you have done so far.
hey, just wondering: is there like a secret dome builder code about not revieling the angles?because there's like no where on the internet how to cut the angles.
Yeah, it seems like they've got us over a barrel. Not sure how you'd make the cuts with the 50 degree saw. I wish I knew. It would have saved me a bunch of cash.
copyright does not cover functional aspects of a work, only the creative aspects. the degrees are most certainly functional as you would never be able to make a dome without them. You could not take a picture of their specific presentation and post it for it would be impinging on their creative expression (i.e. how they decided to format the page) but just revealing the numbers is in by no means violating copyright. not trying to be a dick but i would also like to know the angles as well as
I believe the A struts were 1.27 meters (about 4 feet) and the B's were 1.5 meters (about 4 & 1/2 feet). We used the dome calculator on the simplydifferently website. You put in the total diameter of the dome you want to build and it gives you the strut lengths and the angle cuts.
Hey thanks for your videos! They have helped alot. I also started posting some videos to help others build a biodome/greenhouse. I don't know if this is the right address or not, but check it out okay? apparently can't post my info. Search for calbinoia for my posts. Cal

i'm going to take that back. you're actually the first one on youtube i've fond that explains the angles. :)
Nice! I'll check out part II as well. I would highly recommend wearing hearing protection and a face shield though.
Definitely. I should set a better example as well as be more concerned with safety.
Nagyon ügyes.

Your dome looks great! Nice work.
I hate metric, probably because I draft residential houses and always use imperial measurements. Look forward to the rest of the videos.
Thanks! Hoping to get mine built soon:-)

@Contraindicaciones Sounds like you have it right. Not sure why they don't fit. What frequency are you using?
@punctualbird Sorry. The manual is copy written by Kacper and I can get in trouble for giving away his info from the book.

you can cut a 10 degree wedge and hold it between the piece and the fence. you'll need a 4 degree wedge too,

do the same arrow head cut angles apply for the 2v dome?
@Dave38K Yeah, metric rules. Thanks for watching.

Hey Brother. I love your videos. about the plans; Are you refering to the book ? Does this detain the hubless design you use ?
hey, just wondering: is there like a secret dome builder code about not revieling the angles?because there's like no where on the internet how to cut the angles.
The plans you purchased do they have plans for different domes ie. v4,v5 etc.
Yeah, the plans are from Kasper at eden biodome revolution. They show how to build this dome using a hubless design.
Hi was just wondering if the publication you used to build the dome has plans for more domes ie 4v 1/2 dome?
punc.. check 3V 5/9 Flat Base Kruschke Calculator.. those ones are extremely more precise than kaka-pers
Sure, I'll try. What do you need help with?
Yeah, it seems like they've got us over a barrel. Not sure how you'd make the cuts with the 50 degree saw. I wish I knew. It would have saved me a bunch of cash.
How did you make your 60 degree cuts? Most miter saws only go to 50 degrees...
How on Earth do you make sense of all those angles? Do you computer it or just look it up in a book? I am getting a headache!
@solomonkane23 Cool! I bet it's still standing.
What type of wood did you use?
copyright does not cover functional aspects of a work, only the creative aspects. the degrees are most certainly functional as you would never be able to make a dome without them. You could not take a picture of their specific presentation and post it for it would be impinging on their creative expression (i.e. how they decided to format the page) but just revealing the numbers is in by no means violating copyright. not trying to be a dick but i would also like to know the angles as well as
Did you solve the riddle of the A's not fitting?
@ghog63 I see the answers here. :) Should have read on. Thanks...
Pine 2x4's.
how long is a and b struts ??
I believe the A struts were 1.27 meters (about 4 feet) and the B's were 1.5 meters (about 4 & 1/2 feet). We used the dome calculator on the simplydifferently website. You put in the total diameter of the dome you want to build and it gives you the strut lengths and the angle cuts.
I would voice my disdain, but I decided that you aren't cognizant enough to truly hear it.
