Bridge Building
One of my co-workers decided to have a bridge building contest. Why, you might ask? I’m not exactly sure myself, but nevertheless, several of us decided it was a worthy endeavor and signed up to participate.
The parts list is as follows:
· 3’ ¼ round dowel
· 3’ ¼ square dowel
· 3’ #15 nylon twine
· 20 tooth picks
· Any amount of Elmers original and/or standard wood glue
The bridge has to span a 12” crevice and the winner is the highest ratio of supported weight to the weight of the bridge. We’re only competing for pride and bragging rights – no prize money involved.
The contest day is only one week away. I have a design in mind and even did a bit of tooling and proof of concept work for it last weekend. But I think imagining it will be easier than building it… I’ll keep you posted on the progress and outcome!

The shape and size of weight and the method of applying the weight are also significant factors that should affect your design.Anonymous
