The peripheral stiles and rails are joined by loose tenons, which allow for fine-tuning of their position during the glue-up (tenons are deliberately narrower than the mortises), yet result in a sturdy frame. The central stile and rail use regular mortise-and-tenon joints, partly fashioned with the aid of a house-made tenoning jig. The panels float…
This door provides a small entrance to the barn where firewood is stored. The door is made from two layers of spruce boards joined by tongue-and-groove, and reinforced horizontally with two sliding dovetails. The jamb corners are reinforced with dowels.
The cellar door is built using a sandwich construction. The insulation layer (polysterene) core rests within the wooden frame (mortise-and-tenon joints), and is covered by the tongue-and-groove siding panels at the front, and with a plywood panel at the back. The front siding is butted by edge pieces along the periphery, and covered by an…
This project sources local weather sensors (temperature, humidity etc.) and remote measurements (obtained via a wifi connection to an online weather API) to display the relevant weather information on analog meters.
Variation on Alberti bass
The main melody is mostly shared by harp and celesta, with glockenspiel accents, though variation and added body is often provided by strings, winds or brass accompaniment. To set up an ethereal atmosphere the composition opens up with delicate flute triplets and harp arpeggios underscored by violin tremolos providing a pedal. The melody lines then…
I extended the in-house code for a 1D fluid model of a silent discharge in a parallel-plate geometry and subsequently developed and coded an extensive 2D fluid model. The code supports simulations of various cold plasmaconfigurations, from dielectric barrier discharges to extreme-field nanosecond streamers. The fluid model is solved with finite-difference and finite-volume methods on…
We develop a finite volume method based on unstructured triangular and/or quadrangular meshes for the numerical modeling of gas discharges at atmospheric pressure. The discretization of the computational domain is performed with median-dual control-volumes. Gradient calculations at the faces of the control-volumes are based on finite-element interpolation using shape functions. An FCT method was chosen…
The calculations for a stairwell, especially the rise and run and the carriage (stringer) layout and dropping, are critical — I recommend the classical treatise on the subject, Basic Stairbuilding by Scott Schuttner. The corner walls where the staircase was to be fitted were paneled by a tongue-and-groove wainscoting (diagonally-nailed tongues), with cutouts for electrical…
