Flooding
As you all have heard we have had some major issues with flooding here in Colorado. My business is located about 2000 feet from the Big Thompson River. My shop neighbors to the south (closer to the river) have severe water damage and thick mud throughout their units. There are mounds of office furni...

Each density has its own weight to strength properties. Normally bridges and towers use several densities in combination but this is your choice. Basically the towers may weigh a few paper clips in mass. Although paper clips are very strong it is impractical to hold even a few pounds in the configur...

Twisting
I saw something for towers I had never seen before. I tested a column in a hydraulic tester that just presses straight down and no twisting or moving back and forth. The column twisted about 1/2 inch in the middle in a circular motion and did not break but was shorter. The press did not move other t...

Clamps
There are also clamps that have a handle that makes the clamping part go up or down. It requires a few screws to anchor it to a board. You can find them at a hardware store. Usually they have a red handle. I don't know the exact name but I use them in the shop for different custom projects. They wor...

Are there any current problems posting since 8/28/07?
The person who takes care of maintenance for this discussion site just updated and tried to correct problems that were there before. You should not have any errors, timeouts while posting, or any other obnoxious messages. Let me know if you have any problems at all. I used to get 50 spam sign-ups pe...

Visits
I just wanted to say that if you are in the Loveland, CO area don't forget to stop in. Several customers have done so as today and it is neat to be able to talk structures in person instead of over the phone. Then you can hand select the sticks that you require. The specially weighed sticks are sort...

Bridge Costs
I tried the software for about an hour and got $168,672.00 for the cost of the bridge. How does that compare to others?

Scales
I have had 3 malfunctions which aren’t all that many. We always check them before we send them by turning them on and setting the 50 gram weight on them. In shipping if someone drops the package or hits it too hard the scales are very sensitive to the hits and can break the load part of the scale ...

$29 Gram Scales 0.01 Accuracy 100 Gram Limit
I will be listing a gram scale at my store for $29 including ground shipping. It has 0.01 gram accuracy and a 100 gram weight limit. If you want one now just email me at jake@specializedbalsa.com Now it doesn't cost hundreds for a scale to weigh at home!

I found more old posts apparently there are about 2700 that were deleted permanently dating back to 2000. 2000 posts still exist on that site still. The only problem is that they are hosted on an obsolete site that is owned by some people that immaturely planted spywear on my computer as well as oth...
