We are starting up the Monolithic Forum—an online discussion board for Monolithic Dome enthusiasts. This is an early invitation for our Roundup subscribers to try it out! Maybe post a picture of a “dome in the wild,” or start a thread about what you’d like to see us do for our next video, or post a technical question for our experts. Please help us build this new platform as an informative, fun, and helpful place.
