THE IDEAL PALACE BY FERDINAND CHEVAL. Many times ago I saw in a magazine a reportage about the French postman Ferdinand Cheval and his Ideal Palace.
I was enchanted with the talent and perseverance of this man. I never forgotten him and his remarkable masterpiece. Cheval was forty-three years old when he started the foundation of the Ideal Palace, in 1879. Working alone for thirty-three years, he built a fairy-tale palace. Pictures of Pennies. Hi, I'm Mitch Fincher and these pages are from a talk I gave while a Civil Engineering student at Texas Tech University.
The following is the basic pattern for building cantilevered structures with Pennies. Although it looks trivial, we can build amazing structures with these pillars. All penny columns are ten pennies high, a "stack". Two side-by-side pennies held in place by a penny above them is called a "triad".
