You so much our hero... all of us dreamers, DIY'ers, - do it yerselfers - dare to be different's, and plain and simple give-it a-goers salute you, Paul... the man who can do the math, & show the path... Thanks for your continuing inspiration to the Dome-loving community.
I purchased the plans for the 11m geodesic dome, and scaled it down to 4m for a test run. The angles, measurements, and absolutely everything worked terrifically. I am very pleased with the result.
Paul...Thank you for sharing the wealth of knowledge that you have on domes! I have been researching them for years in the hope of talking my husband into living in one when we retire. I started with the geodesic domes but ended up liking the monolithic's better. Is there any knowledge you can share on those builds? I'm one year away from moving, retiring and starting a new build, so time is running out quickly. Either way I appreciate your open source sharing...B
Have you done any more ideation on the trussed 3V dome idea? (I mean the one that is self-supporting due to the trussing.) I did some thinking about that model, and it seems that if that were to be done using wanger flanges, it would take an extremely large number of flanges. I'm curious to hear about anything you have done with that concept.
Thanks, Paul. I’ve just had a quick binge-watch of your dome videos; I love the detail that you provide in the designs. I do have a question, though: In your intro video (where you showed a ‘typical’ dome home) you mentioned how knocking out panels to create doors, windows, chimney, etc weaken the structure; and implied that buttressing that section would then cause aerodynamic issues. Do you know if there is any (very general) guidelines on the reduction of a dome’s integrity per panel that is removed? Or whether one type of panel provides more or less integrity than another. And whether certain types of dome (2 freq., 9 freq.) are more structurally sound that others. I know that materials, build quality and a ton of other factors affect each dome, but I’m just wondering whether you know of any studies that have been done on this but the results are simplified enough for a layman to understand. It’s a big question, I know, but I hope there is a simple answer somewhere. : ) Thanks Paul.
Hi Paul, thank you for the awesome set of plans. I checked out the zip file for the wagner flanges, the dxf seems to not be flattened. I was going to try to laser cut and precision bend a few flanges for a mountain greenhouse. Are you able to update with a .step and or a flattened .dxf file? Thank you from Maine USA!
For the unity dome, what do you think is the largest size it would be scaled out to and still keep the same size triangles ( 2x triangles for a 4x8 sheet of polycarbonate) I just found your site recently and your work is awesome!!
Hi Paul, have you had time to design a 6v truncated dome? I built one of your Eden domes in our garden and now the wife wants another! Keep going with the book, I've already told the wife it's what I want ;)
Paul, thank you for your content, I love all the information you put in. But the links to the wangerflange site are dead. Is there another URL for these plans now?

"Do the math and show the path" absolutely 💯👌most accurate observation and comment. 🌟❣🌟
Grateful. ❤

Paul, I love the stuff you put out. God bless you.
You are THE Dome expert, I always recommend your channel whenever we talk about domes
Yes keep the dome info coming, keep learning new ways and teach us. Open source is great!
Thank you Paul
Thanks Paul. Looking forward to the book and just awaiting delivery of my new 3D printer 😉
Awesome ! Keep it up ! Keep that crative fire alive !
Thankyou Paul
Thank-you Paul for the information you have provided. Greatly appreciated.
You are creative and generous! The Unity dome will make a great 1/4 dome greenhouse. Thank you !
Thank you so much for your work, very inspiring! I will test some of your design in a future I hope not too far!
Very generous of you! ThankYou ❤🌟
Thank you so very much for this posting. Cheers to you for your generous sharing.
Thank you Paul. Very, very much appreciated.
Thank you. Blessings and love
PAUL YOU ARE SO AMAZING

Continuing inspiration.
Paul, Thank you so much.
Thank you for making these videos. please continue making such a video. You have inspired me!
Thank you so much for sharing all your hard work 💚
Thank you so much for the free resources! So valuable
🙏🙏🙏!
You are Great!!
Thanks mate much appreciate your kind efforts to impart your great knowledge!
Priceless gift.Thank you so much!

NIce, amazing work!
I like domes, do you plan make more content about that topic?
Great Paul! Thank you :)
Thanks for all the stuff you do
Much appreciated
Can't seem to get the hobbit zome to show up? Just letting you know. thanks again
Oops, I fixed that now thanks for letting me know.
Hello. Can you please send me the link of the drawing in sketchup program?
Thanks, Paul.

I have to ask. Why are you giving all that info for free? I/we are all very very grateful!! Great stuff thank you!!
Paul this is excellent stuff, can you help me to design the frameless dome as per the Viking designs in PC ??
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!! 🌷

Is there a book 📖 🤔 I'd love to have a copy this is very interesting. The first design would make a great car port I'd love to make

Thanks so much, this is fantastic
Gracias por tanto. Perdon por tan poco. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you....
This is awesome! Thank you very much.
What's the living area of the Hobbit Zome? I estimate it to 60 sqm. How complicated would it be to scale down?
Canary Tunnel didn't seem to be working...
Beautiful work
Legend, many thanks
This is awesome. Thanks a lot!
Hey Paul. Can you make a dome. With only yousing one trangle chape 😄
Thank.
Thank you.
How to order your dome plan?
Thanks
Waiting for the book
Thank you!
what is GRP layer?
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH (HEART)
Paul, thank you for your content, I love all the information you put in. But the links to the wangerflange site are dead. Is there another URL for these plans now?
Just checked now and they seem to be working ok try this one: wangerflange.com/tools.html
Good stuff!
Awsome
also guide in roof design
I am looking for a "thick" lattice plan that will accomodate insulation and framed windows. Anyone?
I think the Canary War pdf link isn't working anymore.
I too can not get the Canary Wharf link to work.
😍😍😍😍
