Basic Box Truss: Building skills

Here is a plan for the box truss.

  • it is 5 cm high, 5 cm wide, and 20 cm long.

  • work on a “placemat’ of paper or carboard to keep glue of tables.

  • use a small 3x3 card for glue.

  • use a toothpick or a small piece of pasta as a “glue paintbrush” to apply glue to joints.

  • use glue sparingly - excess glue will wet and weaken pasta.

  • Avoid “Compound Joints” in your construction
