Have the Creative Spirit of the Engineer

An engineer is able to solve complex and multifaceted problems with the wealth of knowledge that he or she has accumulated over his career. In order to be a member of TBP, one needs to create a Bent, a cross-section of a timber frame building or supports a trestle.

This are the basic dimensions of the TBP bent. Feel free to interpret this illustration through your own lenses and create your own version of the bent. We’ve had members make bents at the Binoy Singh Imagineering Lab, a circuit with LEDs, PVC pipes, lemon bars and cookies, and bacteria in a petri dish. Be creative!

There will be prizes awarded to artistic, unique, and outstanding bents at the Bent Ceremony!
