Th3 Core

I have finished installing the stainless wire rope tethering system on the 40 pier deck sections.  They are now tied in groups of 8 to 5 galvanized helix anchors set in the river bottom.  The weather has been absolute crap here and I'm waiting for a nice hot day to finishing the tie-downs on the pallets to -hopefully- hold them from being dislodged in all but the most powerful storms.  Another day, maybe two, should finish it...

Are you a harbour master or something, sounds like a lot to be in charge of ?

>form the holes from the pipe itself :

I like the look of that. How are you forming the indented pockets in the pipe, some sort of heated tool?

Cool, i'll be sticking them on etsy but they're easy to make.

Yes i cut slits with a chopsaw then used a heatgun to soften the pipe and a solid, 3d-print of a 2-inch netpot as a former.

I'm not happy with the irregularity of the shaped parts, though some people say they like the fact they are all slightly different, i'd like it to be uniform so i need to make a better shaping rod.

I agree, this is marketable.  The question is the price-point.

Rather than all that manual slitting and forming, could you print the standpipe -complete with cupped indentions- in joinable sections?   Then market kits with options for added sections/height.  This would also aid in breaking it down for a smaller shipping package.

Yes that'd be ideal, injection-moulding would be a nice option.

The herb testing is going well, i was worried about pH and EC but herbs seem to mostly have quite wide tolerances, though there's no universal overlap, this is basil topleft, lettuce topright, watercress middleleft, chives middleright and 2 new ones at bottom. /edit i think they may both be watercress in the middle.

Nice job!  Looks nicer than the kits and way more sturdy.

I'm jealous too. Gorgeous!

Very nice and solid looking, love those windows

upgrade to GRK fasteners.

  Like it... still working through 2 BIG  boxes of screws I inherited....
