We have now done our first cutting of life-size house pieces for over two years, and the first full-size cutting we’ve ever done in Christchurch. The previous prototype was all cut in Wellington for an exhibition called Makertorium and then shipped down to Christchurch. What we’ve cut is just enough to create a test segment of our main beam but nonetheless an important part of the progress required towards the BackYarder. With the learnings from that exercise we move on to cutting and testing a large beam so we know that what we’re designing is safe to live in.
