270mm sphere drilling jig from 5mm laser cut steel, 18mm birch plywood and 6mm polypropylene. I designed and made this jig to enable the 8 different drilling configurations required to make the icosahedron.
This configuration of drilling is for the middle edge spheres.
First day of assembly. Spheres are held together by 12mm custom threaded rods on the edges. The internal spheres are held by interwoven 5mm rods and nylon coated 3mm cable. 1mm nitrile O-rings are used at every junction to prevent water ingress.
Progress at Portal Design workshop.
