Now that I've got your attention, I need some advice from people who know something about architecture.
I have to build a little wooden tower that supports weight (max about 33 pounds). Basically, the base necks in for 15 cm and then the rest of the tower has to fit through an 8 cm hole.
One weight is put on the top, and then a string goes down through the middle and holds up all the other weights. What is the best design for load-bearing?
