Baz, I suspect that you're right: I probably did get the idea from you. I can recall looking over your construction notes pretty carefully on your website, as well as those from Barry Neumann (who fibre-glassed cardboard) for his geodesic dome. Either way, the idea worked well. Originally, I overlooked liquid nails and tried ordinary wood glue, but that was hopeless. The final result was very strong. Tonight, it will be subject to 120 kph wind gusts here, so I've battened down the hatch even more than usual.

Cheers, Chris
