#roundhouse we've been making surprisingly fast progress with secondary joists. One consequence of this is that we've both got much better at cutting acute angled saw cuts!

Dwangs has a SI Kiwi ring to it. Noggins in the NI. I'm a visitor to Nelson. You around here by any chance? I'm an ex builder ( if I get the chance to "ex") and a fan of round structures. Would love to visit..
Looks great mate.
@BigD@pthane I'm in southern Scotland. Here we call short braces between studs "noggins" (although I suspect that's not a traditional word in these parts), but exactly similar braces between joists "dwangs".
I imagine there's a fair bit of regional variation about this; but also, where Scots immigrants outnumber English, at least among carpenters, I'd expect the Scots word to be adopted.
@simon_brooke@pthane You're a bit far away for a visit. Yes, your termination is the same as these parts. Alot of the NZ South island was settled by Scots.
I have built a small half round structure only to test the concept. Garden shed size. My concept uses a post and rail structure to form portals.
I don't have a use for a full sized structure as I'd build one.
Only got some concept drawings that I've bounced around on a computer 😄
Keep up the good work
