Looking for a builder — is anyone up for the challenge?
2 hours ago • 0 commentsSo here's the thing: Pancale exists entirely in SketchUp right now. I've worked out the whole mechanism — how the pallet inclines, how the wall hooks catch it, how the loose board pieces wedge themselves into a seat and backrest using nothing but geometry — but I haven't built a physical prototype, and I'll be honest, the metalwork for the bars is beyond what I can pull off myself.
So I'm putting this out to the community: is anyone interested in building the first working Pancale?
I haven't posted dimensions or exact specs yet — partly because I want to gauge whether there's real interest before locking those down, and partly because I'd rather tune them with actual feedback than guess in a vacuum. If you're up for giving it a shot (or even just curious enough to poke holes in the design), leave a comment or drop me a message. If there's interest, I'll follow up with full measurements, board thicknesses, how the metal bars should be sized and attached, and anything else needed to actually build one.
Bonus points — and eternal bragging rights — for whoever ends up building the first Pancale in existence.
