Try, Try again

I had cut all three puzzles that @m_raynsford designed (way back when), and when done with them I did what I always do with old toys: Gave it to my wife.

I figured it stopped there, and most likely people got annoyed by it at some point. But, apparently not. There is an event on campus next week, and her group requested one of the pu…

And @Jules has a pretty good topic on this:

Lace Acrylic Slump Bowl

This is just a share. I designed a 3D Printer file a while back for creating a lacy bowl quickly, and someone with a laser just posted a make of it out of acrylic, so I already know it works.(Yaaaay!) It’s a “slump” bowl. (Sounds terrible, but turns out kind of cool.) It’s cut flat, and heated over a Pyrex bowl covered with aluminum foil, to shape the plastic. (We used to do similar things with old records.)
