To All,

I am trying to build a fuel storage tank for MichLUG's upcoming Science
Fiction event, Contraption, and I am having a few problems. The problems
comes from trying to take ordinary bricks and making a circular tank out of
them.

Did anyone build anything like this before? Does someone have a suggestion
on how to do it? Maybe some links to past creations?

Any help would be appreciated, or else it might come out a big box with some
valve attachments to it. Viola intstant tank!

Sincerely,
Scott S.

Eric Brok has some awesome stuff, especially this technique for curved
walls.  I have been able to use this to make a 16x16 circle, but it was
under certain stress.  Better to go 18x18, 20x20, or bigger.

HTH,
