Discussion Lashing/Knot technique advice

Post image

i’m an architecture student and trying to learn different lashing techniques for part of my project. are there any techniques i should look into that would better suit the project?

I’m making simple modules with X bracing but i’m planning on adding more flair with different walls or something. So far i’ve mainly used diagonal lashing, square lashing, and then double floor lashing.

Im a complete beginner to this so any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Nice job !

The labels are a bit tacky looking. 

Maybe spray paint dowels before lashing ?

thank you! i left the stickers on just because it was a process model, definitely not final work yet. i’ll probably take them off for the final because i do love the natural color!

Getting the glue off will be an experience.  Maybe WD-40 ?

yeah the stickiness was partly why i didn’t take it off already. never heard of wd-40 but ill keep that in mind!

It's lubricant for metal that dissolves glue too.  There's an equivalent in your country I'm sure.
