A Burning Man Blog by Mike

Today Bill and I glued half of a K-hinge to the lower half of a roof panel. It went on nicely. Looks like it will hold the layers of the foam board together, as well as make a beefy hinge. At some point I’ll get some pics posted.

Here is a mini evaporative cooling tower design by Mike Swift. He sketched this out for me during today’s SJEAA meeting for use in my Yurt at BM.

Early this morning I dug out the old Pfaff sewing machine and sewed the very first pieces of canvas together to make our first K hinge. Although we didn’t glue it down yet, we decided to test our gluing skills with Liquid Nails to an upper section of the roof. We glued on a 6 inch wide piece of canvas to each side for strength. I ended up using a piece of plastic to act as a Bondo spreader. The glue spreads very nicely and quickly before it sets.
