Tannery water tank inspiration
The photo below is part of my inspiration for the tannery water tank I am building. The tank is almost complete but work has been interrupted for cataract surgery on one of my eyes. All went well and I am back to modeling. The tank shown here is considerably larger than what I am building - the tank shown here is a 125,000 gallon tank on a 50-foot wood tower, but it contains some of the features I am including in my model such as the design of the platform.
The model will be posted in the next day or two. As usual I have continually made modifications to the design as I went. It seems that as I build I see changes that I find appealing. That is why I don't take the time to draw any plans - just sketches and where needed framing templates.
