Hello Fellow Steemians!

I have a new update for the trailer project building forms that will be used to create an aircrete hexayurt.

I started by laying out a 2x3" board to use for the outside form of an 11/32" plywood.

I cut the length of the 2x3" board to 8'&6".

I used 2.5" deck screws to fasten the frame to the plywood.

I used a framing square to get my board to an approximate squareness.

I fastened the board with one screw initially to ensure my square.

I cut this middle board to 3'10".

Using a chalk line I drew a diagonal on another 11/32" piece of plywood.

Using my jigsaw i cut along the diagonal line.

This will create the roof section of the mold.

Here is the layout for the roof section of the mold. I attached the 2x3" boards to the plywood about 1/4" inward from the edge of the plywood.

I used some 6mil plastic to place over top of the mold which will act as a release for the aircrete after its cured.

Here is the layout before the aircrete has been poured.
