Streptohedron infection. Will it become epidemic?

Seems to be no interest in this subject or maybe just in my way of posting it. A good chance without personal whining and bogus hurt feelings to consider the place, if there is one, for postings that are not direct questions or answers to specific turning problms. Do the chatty threads or unasked for musings, reviews, essays or anecdotes that several rcw members engage in serve the needs or interests of the majority? Are the responses mostly courtesy inputs? I'm never sure if an ignored post represents an inappropriate or boring subject or if it was poorly presented, or it is a sort of civilized flame, or what.

Oh hell, daylight just dawned! This post is just another musing. ;) All best, Arch

Fortiter,

But Arch, we like your musings!

Without your musings I would sleep at night. :-p

I'm a "Jack of all trades, and master of none", so every once in a while your essays kick start the gray matter into working.

I went to the local woodturning group meeting for the first time tonight, and at the break, had a very quick look at the article.

I have made some puzzles out of polyhedrons, but I hadn't considered trying to turn some of the geomentric shapes (polyhedrons generally having some number of flat sides).

I'll have to get the article and actually read it now.

Don't give up. There's always more to try. Everybody else is probably trying to understand the concept :>)

Arch, I too have read these articles with interest. something original, and as you say, probably easier than the chinese balls. I have not tried it yet, but for sure am waiting for the next article applied to box making. don't worry about the lack of answers. sometimes I just agree, but don't feel a need to add something.

Arch, how many of us actually read Woodturning? That may contribute to the lack of response. I've read the article twice, to try and get the concept. I see it now and it's on my short list of projects. They're very unique and don't really look that difficult to construct.

Musings always get read. All of them. And appreciated.

If folks thought musings were somehow inapropriate for the group, no doubt you would hear about it. :o)

None of the below, Arch. It simply is that your musings force us all to re-engage our omphalotic cogitations which puts us in a trance and we become incommunicable as we examine your teachings within the cosmic all. *G*
