Good job!

Thanks. I think the testing table was not level because it was guaranteed to get full hold so a score of 3239. I had tested another tower with exactly the same design and it held all 15 kilograms so was a bit disappointed.
Aw

3239 would have been a really good score at nats
but I probably wouldn't have even placed....
lol this kinda stuff seems to happen to everyone... it is what it is i guess. Not much you can do at that point

Cow, just because the design is exactly the same, does not guarantee identical results. No 2 pieces are exactly the same. Wood, by nature, is not homogeneous. Using the same design with similar mass and column densities could easily have results that differ by as much as 20%, which is why safety margins come into play.
