Memoirs of a Polyhedron Maker

Part 3: The Show
Go to Part 1 -- Go to Part 2 -- Go to Title Page


After 53 4x8 sheets of plywood, 5 lbs of screws, 100 feet of 1/2 inch steel rod, 1 quart wood glue, a chair with a pivot, and little bits of sweat and blood, the polyhedron is finished. That is to say, as finished as it is going to get for the time being. To set up this thing, it appears to take the same amount of time for my thumbnail to grow one length, because I jammed it with the screwdriver right at the base when I started, and I was just clipping the purple spot off when I finished. Render that on a computer!

And so, after one month of display, the show ends, and it's time to scuttle the polyhedron. But perhaps You can help find a permament home for it, and get all those god forsaken pieces out of my apartment! I can't live under these conditions!
