Building a truss

Bea and Hans are building a truss for the balcony dumbwaiter, so that it can swing out towards the courtyard.  First the truss was drawn up in a simple CAD program, then the tubes are coped in the little workshop.

Bea and her dad broke out the drafting tools and made a full-scale drawing to check the fit of the prepared tubes.  Next, they'll have to make an assembly jig and start brazing it all together!
