[Origami] Help with Joseph Wu's snowflake
I'm folding it for the first time in years and I'm stuck on step 7.I can't figure out how to make the symmetric squash. Every time I try to squash, it comes out symmetric -- I can't figure how to do it so there's an thin part and a thick part. And help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks! /Bernie\ Bernie Cosell ber...@fantasyfarm.com -- Too many people; too few sheep --
[Origami] collapsing Joseph Wu's snowflake
I cannot figure out how to do the double collapse [around the inner and the outer hexagons] in step 4. Can you do the collapses one at a time or do you have to collapse the model all at once? I see the valley folds involved in the collapse indicated -- which of the mountain folds are involved in the collapse [i think none, but I can't tell]Thanks!!! /Bernie\ Bernie Cosell ber...@fantasyfarm.com -- Too many people; too few sheep --

It is still there -- how very cool! It popped into my mind because I want to
make
a little gift for a friend [with appropriate text on the pages] and I vaguely
remembered that there was a book fold from I don't now how long ago [I didn't
see it in his book -- I most likely saw it in a BOS magazine, probably from
the
70s]. I wouldn't have guessed that there was a tutorial video on it, even less
likely is that it would have appeared _just_ when I could use it :o)
Thanks!

[Origami] Book fold
Many moons ago [I think in the BOS magazine] there was a wonderful fold that make a little book: kami color for the colors and a few white pages. I think the book was about an inch high when done. I also think it was Dave Brill fold. Anyone have the instructions for that? THANKS! /Bernie\ Bernie Cosell ber...@fantasyfarm.com -- Too many people; too few sheep --
[Origami] What makes origami paper "for beginner"
I've run out of 9" kami and so I hopped onto Amazon and there are only a zillion places offering 9" kami, One caught my eye. It said it was " Easy Fold Premium Japanese Paper for Beginner" What makes a sheet of paper be for beginners?? /Bernie\ Bernie Cosell ber...@fantasyfarm.com -- Too many people; too few sheep --

[Origami] Storing paper
I just got several packs of 3" kami. They're lovely but... I'm not sure how to store them. Right now it is a very neat squared-off stack about 3/8" high. But one bat from a cat while I'm working and I'll have a mess. I was going to put a spring clip on them but that'll dent the paper. Best I've come up with is cutting some cardboard and THEN putting a spring clip on them.. Any better/cleverer ideas??

[Origami] Nova
I really enjoyed the nova episode, but I was disappointed by two things: 1) no mention of Jeremy shafer 2) no mention of Chris palmer They showed several models that were by each, but mostly it was all Erik Demaine [and some Robert Lang in the interstices..:o)] /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:ber...@fantasyfarm.com Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <--
[Origami] Folding a box for holding a dollar bill or check
I've tried searching the net and as soon as you mention 'dollar bill' you get instructions for flowers and such, not for something to HOLD a dollar bill. I've seen a few for holding business cards but they're not what I had in mind: I was thinking about some kind of envelope or something like that [which I could fold out of fancy paper].

Also, if you buy it, it is totally crease-free. Every method I know of for making a hex ends you up with a few "construction" creases in the hex. Not a bit deal usually, but it nice to start with a completely flat hex. /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:ber...@fantasyfarm.com Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <--

Re: [Origami] Help with Joseph Wu's "snowflake"
Much thanks again to doug for all his support and advice. I can actually make the model! Not real well yet -- it requires a degree of precision that I'm practicing to get up to but I have made a quite presentable model. to add to Doug's great advice, I have one thing to add about the 'collapse'. If you look at the folds of the collapse the outermost part [which is dominated by the mountain folds in the hexagon and to the points] go _clockwise_ around the hex, but the _inner_ hexagon [which is made up of the valey folds one hex smaller] goes _counter_clockwise_. I found that getting the mostly hidden inside valley folds clean and accurate was hard for me, so I do the collapse counter clocwise. I start at one point, do the mountain tne valley next to it and the clean up the two mountain-fold triangles [one to the valley fold and one to the next point]. Then I go _inside_ and sharpen up the valley folds that start there and go to the next point counter-clockwise. Then I repeat, but with the inside valley folds coming into the point, you can cleanly *completely* fold that point into the collapse, and then you sharpen its valley folds to the next point around and repeat. When you're all the way around, you'll just have to clean up the last interior run of valley folds into the partially-folded point you started at. and you're done. the rest of the snowflake takes careful folding but is pretty easy. And it is a *beautiful* model. Thanks!! /bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:ber...@fantasyfarm.com Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <--

Is that right > so far? I think it is and I have one more question and then I think I can try to press ahead: am I correct that the folds *SHOWN* in the diagram [e.g., diagram 4, the great collapse] are the ONLY precreases involved in that step? So that having done the outside, if I identify the relatively few indicated-creases inside the central hexagon I can see if I can just use *those* to tease the thing to collapse. /bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:ber...@fantasyfarm.com Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <--

I don't exactly understand what's happening at that cormer [working from the outside only now]: if I try to fold the corner [mountain fold] over so that it lies along the the indicated line, that makes a NEW non-prefolded fold perpendicular to the edge.

BUT; if you're willing I'll try following and throw occasional followup questions [like the above].. I can see as I do what I said above the outside is *trying* to twist in over the inner big hexagon. i'm going to see if observing that gives me a hint of the remainging "twisting' THANKS! very much!!

[Origami] Help with Joseph Wu's "snowflake"
For reference, the diagram is at: <http://www.josephwu.com/Files/PDF/snowflake.pdf> I'm a bit baffled at how to get started, and so any advice would be appreciated! First off, although it isn't Joseph's normal diagramming style, I assume the solid lines in image 1 are mountain folds, although i'm thinking that they're not since they don't turn into valley folds when you turn the paper over for the image-2 folds. So I'm thinking they're not folds at all but just reference lines for the other folds. Anyhow, where I'm mystified is in the "collapse" going from image 4 to image 5. Can anyone give me some hints/help about how to do that collapse? I can't quite tell from the diagrams what's happening and what goes where.

[Origami] Triangle twist
I'm having a devil of a time making a clean triangle twist. Is there some trick to getting the triangle to "emerge"? I've looked at two videos on it, and after you get the three mountain folds and then fold them over whichever direction, the folder does something that seems like magic to me that makes the triangle obediently appear. Mine never do --- it starts to make a triangle but doesn't flatten out near enough so it kind of crumples when I try to flatten it. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong in trying to "tension" the three now-flattend mountain folds to get the triangle to appear. tnx! /bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:ber...@fantasyfarm.com Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <--

I don't know about that aspect but one thing occurred to me: given the right software, you could "fold" a virtual model, create an STL file and email it to Staples and have them 3D-print you a solid [permanently folded..:o)] real-world model. /bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:ber...@fantasyfarm.com Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <--

I think this is even *WORSE* than paypal. It is another dwollah-like service and is, basically, an electronic debit card. And I can't see any conflict-resolution machinery on the popmoney page [nor did I see any on the dwollah page, in case they caught your eye]. I think a consumer would have to be *NUTS* to use either service: Basically, your money is *GONE*, right up front. No float, no billing.. just _gone_ from your bank account. And if the transaction falls through -- what recourse do you have? If you're billed $10,000 instead of $10, what recourse do you have? If you're sent the wrong thing [or nothing], what recourse do you have? If the item is out of stock and they tell you we'll ship it in four or five months, what recourse do you have? [and remember: at that point the *money*is*gone* and you have to fight to get it back -- neither they nor the intermediary have any compelling reason to sort the mess out [they have your money, so why should they rush?] and there's no legal club [short of small claims court or something] to get it sorted out if they don't feel like cooperating. My advice is, still, stick with good old, federal-law-protected, credit cards. /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:ber...@fantasyfarm.com Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <--

One thing to keep in mind: in the US [dunno about other countries] credit card purchases, *by*law*, are *VERY* protected and the table is tilted in favor of the customer. This has several implications, the primary one being that you lose those protections if you pay via PayPal[*]. > The problem being not whether the data transmitted is encrypted or not, > but how easy it is to hack into The Source's database where payment > information is stored, as opposed to hacking into Paypal's databases. This isn't really much of an issue [for folks in the US, at least]. If there are bogus charges on your credit card, you dispute them and they go away. It is really not very much trouble. The problem with PayPal is that you [the consumer] lose those federal protections -- the only 'protection' you have are PayPal's policies which are more biased in favor of the vendor[**]. I never use PayPal if I can use a credit-card directly instead. [*] The reason why is that legally you are not doing a financial transaction with the vendor: you are ONLY doing a transaction with _PayPal_ (basically, the "transaction" is for PayPal to act as your agent to make the purchase -- since they *did* that, as per your instructions, you can't dispute the charge with PayPay -- they'll simply reply that "you told us to make payment and we did" and you'll be stuck paying the credit card bill while the mess is sorted out [if it even is]]. If the *vendor* had done something wrong or improper, that's a separate matter and _not_ covered by the federal credit card laws (since you didn't enter into a credit card transaction with the vendor!). You're in a position more akin to using debit cards: where the vendor already has their money, you're stuck paying your credit card bill [and so you're out the cost], and you only get compensation back when/if it is resolved in your favor. By contrast, With credit-card disputes, the charge is suspended *immediately* [and so you don't have to pay a dime until the dispute is resolved, and the default is that the charge will be reversed unless the vendor can show that it is proper.] [**] Compare PayPal's "Resolution Procedures" with the legal requirements for resolution for credit card transactions. /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:ber...@fantasyfarm.com Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <--
