I was tasked with building a Balsa Wood truss with the knowledge I acquired about what makes a truss successful and trusses I have seen before. I had to design the truss on my own and then build it using one stick of balsa wood and wood glue.
I think it broke at those two points because it was not connected as well as it could’ve been. If I had more time and Balsa Wood to spare I think I would’ve been able to construct a better made truss and done a better job on the glue and building. However with the limited time I had I think I did good.
