Time's up, Stan!

Sorry for the delay. I was too tired after kayaking yesterday to get the pictures organized. :sleepy:

I have created a simple web page with a bunch of pictures and some brief explanations:

Awesome looking tree house. Would love to live in something similar but larger.

Thanks Stan, those pictures are great.

So, where are you going to put the mill and the workbench?

I'd only met Dave once (at PF9), where we spoke about the Spy for a few minutes, but it was enough to know he's the kind of dude who ain't playin' around when it comes to engineering. So upon seeing the title of this thread, I had a hunch this tree house may be a cut above average... but whoa!

And that about sums it up in one word... whoa.

:bow:

Also wondering how the center will be sealed. I'm picturing some kind of tube in order to just let rain run right through and out the bottom. Thick rubber perhaps? Or maybe a sheet metal tube formed around the trunk, welded along the join, and the top and bottom ends bolted to the ceiling and floor.

He can't weld metal around the trunk, the tree needs room to grow. He could take pieces of overlapping rubber roof membrane, clamp the tops loosely to the tree and have them hang out and onto the roof. This would also leave the trunk visible. Why go through all that work just to have a metal sleeve for your inner wall? He has taken "tree house" to a whole new level...

I think he'd told me he was experimenting with pieces of foam to form a flexible seal against the trunk... and at the end of the day, if a little water seeps down the trunk itself, it's not that big a deal really, would roll right down the trunk and out the bottom opening in the tree house anyway. Plus, it's a little like a built-in waterfall fountain!

Dave, what were you doing with the Spy005 while cutting the SS bar, measuring....????
