The two following photographs show the method of construction for the torus. Segments are assembled to form the ten sided section of rod. These were turned on a lathe to produce the shape as shown below. http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh225/Squeaky2011/IMG_0023-1.jpg When several of these assemb...

What is it?
Hi Oxenholme, What is the name of this particular model? http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh225/Squeaky2011/Whatisit.jpg I once attempted to make five interlocked tetrahedrons and most of it ended up in the scrap box. This model of yours look suspiciously like the one I failed at ... Where did you...

Image Sizes
Thanks for the information.
I use Photoshop CS2 which I find excellent. It is quite a complicated programme but more or less a 'standard' in the photographic world.
I am now reducing the image sizes prior to sending to 'Photobucket'.

My first venture
Hi Oxenholme, Not too distant from North Derbyshire. I love the look of your models. I really stumbled into polyhedra and since that time I have become very interested in the subject. My wife tells me that I do not have 'normal' hobbies but obsessions. I do a lot of photography and took a series of ...

My Next Project
http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh225/Squeaky2011/Torus02.jpg I wish to construct a model similar to this ... but twisted into a sort of figure of eight.

Woods
Hi Brendan, I nearly always use hardwoods ... hardy ever used plastics except one time I covered a 'stellation' with mirror coated acrillic. When I sort out 'photobucket' I will send a picture of this particular model to the forum. One very good source of hardwood is to buy a single pack of hardwood...

Hi
I am a bit mystified!
How do I insert an image into a posting?
I click the box marked 'Img' then what ?
Simple terms only please .... I am not a rocket scientist.

The model photographed, above, is just placed, on the base section, for the purpose of this photograph ..... nothing is fixed at the moment. I need to very tastefully add (about 25mm) to...

Mitre Angles
Hi Brendan, Making models of polyhedron, from wood, is not really too difficult provided you are fairly precise with measurments of the component faces and set your bandsaw (cutting the mitres) as accurately as possible. I use a digital angle gauge that I obtained via e-bay. The resolution of this i...
