[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 34436, member: 126"] Re: Statics - You need to take this class In my freshman graphics class we had a term project to build a balsa wood bridge, to cross a span... One way we could be graded was by how much weight the bridge supported vs, how much it weighed. It was an early morning class (that i rarely attended), and I threw together a simple structure (think triangles) the night before it was due... Of course i slept through the class it was due at, but they allowed me to test it at an afternoon section of the same course. Many didn't want their entire semester's work destroyed by testing, but i was not that attached to my odd looking creation... It didn't look much like a bridge, but it weighed less than 1oz and held 40#.. I got a B. :-) for a course I rarely attended (hey it was the '60s). I guess you could say I picked up a few thing along the way from working on cars, and two older brothers who were engineering majors. Unlike most people studying this with little feel for the application, it seems people in the business working with rigging and temporary structures could get a lot from this field.
