	The pipe is cut, deburred, scored using a blunt chissel type of tool and then whacked flat on the anvil. It took me the better part of the day (10 hours including breaks and dinner) to finish these pipes. Whacking 265-ish pipes takes at least 5000 hammer blows and my shoulder was pretty sore the next day.

	Alternative: use an arbour press, an electric hammer or any other means to crush the pipes. Do NOT use your vice, a vice is not made for repeated crushing action, although these are only 12mm pipes, you can find lots of examples on the web of people destroying their vices crushing pipes for domes. Be prepared to repair your vice when doing so. I've (pre-)crushed a couple of pipes, but ended up still whacking them on the anvil. When grinding, cutting, and working around our vice i ended up repairing it anyway, i guess i just gave it the final push. If and when i decide to create another dome i will definitely use a press :)		Alternative: use an arbour press, an electric hammer or any other means to crush the pipes.

Metal parts fabrication

	There are 2 metal parts. A collar to prevent the wood from splitting ~~and a pipe insert which is used~~ for ~~connecting~~ the struts ~~together~~. ~~These parts are then inserted~~ into the ~~wood~~, ~~final strut length be set~~ and then ~~fastened with m3 bolts~~. ~~Because~~ the pipes are ~~inserted last~~, you ~~tweak~~ the ~~final length~~ of the ~~strut~~. ~~The wood strut dimensions don't have~~ to ~~be exact.~~		There are 2 metal parts. A collar and a pipe.

			The collar is used to prevent the wood from splitting. I procured square tubing 50x25x1.5mm, inner dimensions are 47x22, perfect for the wooden struts. There were cut on an industrial cut off saw. I can highly recommend using a decent machine and use plenty of cutting fluid! Cutting each collar takes about 30 seconds. Using a disc grinder will use more material (you cannot cut straight), go through a lot of discs (one disc will only cut 10 collars i reccon) and setting up each cut will take up more time.

			alternative: 50kg dyneema kite rope. Wrap it around tight and fasten it like a hangman noose. Glue into place. Or use wet rope and wrap it around tight, when the rope dries it shrinks.

			The pipe is cut, deburred, scored using a blunt chissel type of tool and then whacked flat on the anvil. It took me the better part of the day (10 hours including breaks and dinner) to finish these pipes. Whacking 265-ish pipes takes at least 5000 hammer blows and my shoulder was pretty sore the next day.

			Alternative: use an arbour press, an electric hammer or any other means to crush the pipes. Do NOT use your vice, a vice is not made for repeated crushing action, although these are only 12mm pipes, you can find lots of examples on the web of people destroying their vices crushing pipes for domes. Be prepared to repair your vice when doing so. I've (pre-)crushed a couple of pipes, but ended up still whacking them on the anvil. When grinding, cutting, and working around our vice i ended up repairing it anyway, i guess i just gave it the final push. If and when i decide to create another dome i will definitely use a press :)
