Excellent!

I am interested in learning how you decided the spring rates. Did you just get them "off the rack" or did you have them made?

Looks to me that your main beams are approx 4x12 laminated and scarfed with 4x4 on top and 2x6 flooring.

I see the finished floor is not toung and groove. Did you glue them? Any concern about shrinkage?

We are hoping to break ground next year on a dojo. The outside is not a problem it is the floor that interests me the most. I have been thinking about springs and I like what you have done. Also tires are a possibility and some other thoughts. What were your considerations in deciding this final design?

Actually I have a million questions but these will be good to start.
