Balsa wood model coaster!!!! (Update 1/7 !!)

its really the angle your looking at it there is one the really is tilted but i couldn't put it anywhere else so i put it there and braced it

yea i was worried about that too but it won't when you touch the supports they do not move at all they are extremely strong

UPDATE
My Mom refuses to let this thing be in the house until it is done so i moved into the garage (no broken parts). Which isn't bad because its heated and more roomy. Also i was low on wood and so i got more. The next updates will be tracking because if i build any more i won't be able to get into the insides of the wood. (Thanks for the idea of soaking the wood) so i just have one more support up and pov shots of the lift enjoy...








Comments please!!!

Looks to rickity.

well thats what woodies look like rickety

BTW i still need a name

I agree, the lift looks a bit rickity, but other than that looks good.

its hard to tell now what it looks like. I will be looking forward to see the final product. I dont wanna suggest any names cause its your ride and your theme. Have fun with it!

From the pics i would say that while your ambitious you are also lozing it. The thing looks like if i were to breath on it it would fall over. The supports are placed too far appart and even with that they are unevenly spaced. They dont look strait too. sorry if im mean but its just the honest truth that nobody has seemed to tell ya yet

No update today sorry but... ^ Trust me this thing is very strong i can put my binder full of homework on it and it won't fall, also some of the supports arn't spaced right but they are fine.

How about naming it Splinter or Grizzly. Just suggesting.[:)]
