I have seen this webpage and after lot of searching i decided to make a 3v 5/9 geodesic dome. It will be big enough to not let me try to experiment with other constructions.
The connectors will be pieces of metal pipe and the wood struts will be attached around the pipe with metal tape and woodscrews. (same system as this straw dome

I started this blog were i will be posting information and images

hello!
I am about to start building a 6m diametre geodesic dome from timber, using the "3V 5/9 Kruschke geodesic flat base dome calculator" from domerama
http://www.domerama.com/calculators/3v-geodesic-dome-calculator/3v-flat-base-815-kruschke-calculator/

According to the assembly diagram the base of the dome consists of B-C-C struts (which repeat and they form the circle of the flat base).
I tried to design but it seems that the lengths of these struts , doesnt form a complete circle.

Does anyone have experience with geodesic constructions?
