DomeCraft #1 Deep Frame Method - Mastering Geodesic Structures with Trillium Domes

Music by Ryan Viscito

Pros:

- Insulation potential. For smaller living space domes, even 1.5-2.5" of insulation is enough for most environments. Of course, more insulation never hurts, especially with larger domes. This method allows for a full 3.5", 5.5" or even larger cavity for insulation.

- Less tools. This method only requires a miter saw for cutting struts.

Cons:

-Challenging. Because there are more compound cuts to make, this method could be seen as more complicated or prone to error. I believe if you follow my steps exactly as I lay them out in this video, you will have no issues.

Please leave any comments, questions or suggestions below! Thanks and happy building.

Love this! As a renter I’m always telling people it’s possible to grow in containers- this is a great testament to if there’s a will there’s a way!

Missed you guys ! Would love to hear your (current) plans for the future. I know that plans often have to change (Life Happens !) but it’s nice to see you back doing your geodesic magic again 😉

[davidweber]

Thank you so much for making all of this information available for free! Where is the best place to ask more questions?

I love your Domes!!! I can use a drop saw or I think you call it a table saw, (I live in Australia but I’m Canadian). The more I watch your videos, the more I’m convinced that I could build one with a little help from some friends at times. I’m very excited to give you plans a try and will be buying some plans from you shortly. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. I know how much time it takes to make videos.

Love your videos, always gets me inspired... thank you ❤️

I would love to see a hempcrete dome! It supposedly needs 12” thickness for good insulation, but can be wider than the frame and encapsulate the frame. You need a way to secure it while it dries, that part might be tricky with dome shape 🤔

Awesome video! Thank you! Can't wait for the next ones to drop.

[doctorjamos]

Amazing! Your videos are always a treat! After watching this video i have been inspires to build a wallapini / sunken greenhouse that connects to a dome on one end! I will keep you posted as i start this summer! Thanks for all the inspiration!!

[WillPemble]

Beautiful! Both you guys and the dome!
Thank you Team Trillium!

Thanks for the video, I'm excited to finally buy my dome places and build the acorn sauna first before taking on a bigger dome.

[camguy]

Awesome work! Can't wait to order the plans. Can that flashing you used in your last video be used on this type of dome design?

[michaelgulewich]

Hey, so one of these videos mentioned a video to come out about making the cool little roofs off of the top! I assume that works great for those fans on the top and not getting rained on.
Any chance of getting a vid of that?

Otherwise, love your work, keep up the amazing joinery :)

[chrisjarvis]

You rock! So beautiful! Would still
Love to have you at our retreat in Sugar Valley!

what an incredibly beautiful share, thanks. Just had to subscribe. Looking forward to build my second dome, most likely a 1v made with Precious Plastic beams

This is great really looking forward to building this summer❤
