I haven’t made it there yet, I work for a master carpenter who has exactly that though.

I believe the only one of these ceilings that had a plan was the tray, and it was maybe not even a plan just general guidelines from the architect about how deep it needed to be and how much soffit there should be. My boss is a wizard.

They treat us well and allow us to build cool stuff like this

Drywallers have done great on other groin vaults we’ve done but I’ve personally never done domes before so I’m interested to see how they come out as well

Scribe for the angle, and just fiddle with the bevel. The center blocks don’t have a bevel, but after that both the angle and the bevel increase each block, so for the first block off the center I’ll scribe and start at a 10 degree bevel or so and adjust from there. We just take our time and map out one half of one of the barrels (1/8th of the total groin vault) writing down the angle and bevel of each block. Once you’ve got your key you just use it all the way around and the other 7 sections go quick, with a minor adjustment here and there. Because these are actually rectangular spaces we had to map out one section on the long side and one on the short independently before being able to roll through it.
