Has anybody built/used one of these? He has a plan set listed. Any pix would be nice. Thanks Jim K.

Hi Jim,

I received Richard Handy's plans for the 'Quick Dome'.
I haven't built a structure yet. The materials used
are very lightweight and probably easy to construct.
The entire structure would rotste on castors on a
wooden or concrete slab.
I'll probably opt for a top rotating dome with plywood
as the primary material. The info is invaluable for
helping one think "out of the box" for this type of
structure.
I called Richard before ordering the info. He is very
friendly and informative. Neat guy!

It may look great on paper, but has anyone actually built one and can send a photo in?
