Facit Houses, Wikihouse, And The Plywood Frame

Plywood frames use thin sheets of plywood [0] as the fabric for the whole structural system. Sheets of plywood are run through a CNC router, which cuts the plywood into specially designed shapes. The shapes are then hooked up together using slots and tabs (helped into place with large mallets) to type quite a lot of structural parts – walls, box beams, portal frames, columns – which then get assembled (utilizing extra slots, tabs, clips, and wedges) to type the superstructure of the constructing. The tight tolerances of the machined plywood mean that the whole lot suits snugly together, which allows simple friction connections to do a substantial amount of the work (although in apply most of the folks using the system are throwing in some mechanical fasteners as well).

At the moment, to make this work, it is advisable run plytool codegen at a command prompt before compiling your challenge. (I plan to ultimately merge this command into the construct process, but solely after optimizing it chipboard in india order that it runs incrementally.) This command scans all obtainable supply code modules, extracts all the type declarations utilizing a customized C++ parser, and generates some extra supply code required for the metadata.

Gentle – 20 pt or 1/42nd of an inch, concerning the thickness of a cereal box.

XL – 32 pt. or 1/32nd of an inch, about the thickness of a credit card

Extra Heavy – 50-fifty two pt or 1/twentieth of an inch, about the thickness of a penny.

2X – 85 pt. or 3/32nd of an inch, about the thickness of 2 dimes.
