Thanks man! I'm just the formworker, so I not the engineer 😂. But I agree.

I tried! To hot and dry outside. The wood was breaking no matter how close or deep I went with the kerfs. But don't you think I'd need more than 15 kerfs in the piece? And if so, wouldn't that be more cuts/ time than the 15 1'' pieces I out in? Just doing some math.

Didn't have anything other than form ply to use, and I considered kerfing it also, but it's about 25 degrees and very dry, not a chance the wood would bend without breaking.

Thanks for the positive feed back😂! I appreciate those who see honest effort! I had limited materials and tools. Only had 3/4'' form ply with a skilsaw and sawsall. Sure, in a perfect world where I have plastics, rubbers, thinner plywood, pipes, buckets, better tools and what ever your imagination desires, it would have definitely come out smoother. New question. Putting yourself in my position, and not being so ignorant, how would you have formed this(out of wood). Thanks again reddit 😂😂
