Bamboo Dome Process(3)
24th August 2010
1000-1200

Due to make our dome can be float easily on the water, our group had changed our design of dome and the sketch is shown as below.

Last week, we had cut the bamboo with the length of 200centimetres to make the base of dome. Hence, today, we had to cut the bamboo into smaller piece to make the upper part of the dome. First of all, we separate the bamboo into two groups that is with 200centimetres long and without 200 centimetres long.

Bamboo with 200centimetres long.

Bamboo without 200centimetres long.

After that, we take out the bamboo without 200centimetres long.May Ling and Shing Iee were put the bamboo on the grass


We had cut the bamboo into different length.
We also cut the bamboo into half piece.

Shing Iee and May Ling were cutting the bamboo into half again by using the "Parang".

Its Yong Mei and Shing Iee turn.

We had success to cut the bamboo into half again.

Due to we need more bamboo to make the upper part of dome, we had to cut more bamboo and it is very hard to cut the bamboo .It also make out a lot of noise when cutting.

For the long bamboo, we had to stand on the stairs to cut it.

These are the bamboo that we had cutting.

Before went back, we had put the bamboo in the ground floor of the Desa.
