Re: Tips for my tower
Well for starts build it out of balsa, bass, or a combo of both.

Re: Tips for my tower
basswood is a type of wood thats a lot stronger and heavier then balsa
What disease did cured ham actually have?
If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea...Does that mean the fifth one enjoys it?
I used to be healthy, until I took an arrow to the knee and got gangrene.

Re: Tips for my tower
I seriously would not use Basswood. When I built my tower out of it, it supported 40 kg and still did not break. it filled up the whole bucket...

Re: Tips for my tower
This one group at my regionals looked like they took a 5X5X50 plank of wood, drilled a hole down the middle, then gorilla glued it to a 2 by four the stretched across the gap, they needed 2 middle schoolers to cary it in, it weighed so much. It held all the weight too. (It ened up in 7th place as 1 of 7 of 20 that were tier 1 though. tisk tisk division B)kittykat wrote:I used circles on mine it held the whole bucket.
