My name is Martim Dornellas, I’m a 52 yo dad, and have been evolved in more projects that I can name, so will not borrow you with that (you can follow me on LinkedIn and check for yourself). Last year I decided to build a small cabin in a land that my father owns in the center of Portugal.
This is my geodesic dome build journey.
A step-by-step documentation of me building a geodesic dome from scratch using only wood, simple tools, and a lot of trial and error. No fancy workshop, no expensive equipment—just an idea, some timber, and the determination to figure it out along the way.
I’ll share everything I remember: designing, cutting, building, mistakes, solutions, and everything I learn along the way. If you’re interested in geodesic domes, woodworking, DIY projects, alternative structures, or simply enjoy watching ambitious builds come to life, join me in this adventure.
Subscribe and follow the journey as a pile of wood slowly becomes a geodesic dome. Or just a new pile of wood, if I fail 😀
