Oh I would love to meditate in a tipi. However I've got my mind set on the pyramid for now. And I am finally taking action.
I've determined that I want a pyramid made of equilateral triangles. I am going to purchase eight 2 x 2 pieces of wood and, using the suggestion of a friend, connect them with wooden dowel rods. (The pyramid needs to be able to be disassembled, no room for permanent pyramid.)
Because the pyramid will be made of equilateral triangles, I believe that all eight pieces (four at the base and four rising to the apex) should be of equal length. Is anyone able to validate this?
At what angle to make the cuts on the wood is the difficult part. The four base sides forming the square is easy, 45 degree cut to create a 90 degree angle. It is the cuts on the four pieces rising to the apex that the challenge comes in, especially the cuts where the four pieces join at the apex.
Fortunately I have a neighbor who owns a small carpentry business. He thinks he can help me.
I'll post to this thread concerning the success or failure of the project. And Gemini Wolf, good luck!

Hi Gary,
Just make sure the apex angle is less than 70 degrees. Ra made this very clear as of utmost importance. Anything over 69 degrees focuses energy/light dangerously strong. There was another thread here somewhere that went into a lot of details and quotes on considerations, but this one was the only consideration that was a cautionary one.
