I put a new image in this directory explaining how I did this. I am not
an artist, but I know how to use premade images, and paste them on a JPG
made using MLCad. ;-)

No it isn't 45 degrees. It is some weird angle. Let's see...
Sine( Angle) = Opposite / Hypotenuse
soooo... the smallest angle is Inverse Sine of 3/5
Which is: 36.87 degrees
When building, Count Spaces, not Studs, because you are measuring the
distance of a side, and distance would be measured from the center of a
stud to the center of the next stud.
Another useful perfect triple is 5 x 12 x 13.

No, there is nothing underneath the tower, but I agree that I would
rather make use of that space for something too. I was experimenting
using the technique mentioned by John Gerlach that the GMLTC uses:

Thanks! I'm going to work on a DAT for this guy soon.

Thanks, I actually had a mill, but hated it. It is sitting awaiting
destruction. I liked the wheel too much to not reuse it.
Thanks for the comments.

| (...) Ah, got it! I thought the 3x4x5 was referring to some triangular brick I wasn't familiar with. I think Ed "Boxer" figured out that you could make an exact 45 degree angle using a triangle of 7 by 7 by 10 (counting studs, not spaces), or (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jan-02, to lugnet.castle)
