fabrication connection studies











Arrowhead .5 Liter bottles cut into 3/4 sections and attached with cap bolt connection. Curvilinear bottle shape creates arching spans. Cap bolt connection is reinforced by screwing bottle tabs into the cap. Connection is much more rigid with sturdier bottles such as Vitamin Water and Odwalla bottles. See above diagram for process details.

  2. I think the "Cap Connection" could be a great tool for other systems too. Looks great!
