Y-Day was a success!

We got 115 lathes ripped out of the stock we had on hand, which was incredibly awesome since the stock was live edge cedar boards and they had to be sided flat beforfe we ripped them :)

The total # of lathes is about 155, so I have 40 to go. All out of 2x4 stock, so it won't be a problem to do solo.

But, before I do that, I am going to drill out the holes and chop the 45 degree miter in all the lathes I have, and then "twin" them and then start assembling them into wall sections!

Unlike Y-Day, I'll actually take photos... :)

Thanks to ALL ! You rocked and made this possible with a nice kick in the ass!

PS: I am thinking of calling this The BulletProof Yurt, since with 1" thick khana it is gonna be STRONG. I think I went overboard with the overengineering, but it wasn't expensive to do, and on The Playa I don't have to worry about drunk people crashing into it.. they'll definitely bounce off THIS thing :)

If/when I build a smaller one, I'll do it with 1/2" lathe ;)
