@martin10 Beautiful get in touch when u can bless your work thanks M
-
Oh, I see that your forms are very deep. That seems efficient - I like it. How do you cut your blocks? How long do you wait before cutting your blocks?
-
This is some reason DG dont make the blocks upright anymore? I normally take out the form before 24h , i like to leave them 24h at least ,
-
@martin10 DG does not use the upright forms anymore because they are very expensive because of the steel dividers. However, Hajjar says that they are quite superior. For anyone who is building multiple domes then the additional cost is well worth the added quality and efficiency.
-
@martin10 What is the gauge of steel sheets that you use? Is it stainless steel or galvanized?
-
Galvanized 16"
-
2 sheets of 4×8 for make the 15 sheets we need for each form
-
-
The thickness are 16
-
@martin10 Do you have photos with the steel dividers in place?
-
DomeGaia does not use the upright forms anymore because they are very expensive because of the steel dividers.
What if someone wanted to use painted plywood or corrugated plastic instead of sheet metal? Do you think that would work?
-
No,because plywood is going to bend after any used, every metal sheet of 4×8 is around 50-60$ and for two forms you just need 4, and you can make 130-140 quality blocks each day,that make sendero,even more for big proyects,you going to build more than 1 dome,arent you?
