(Stan! Just noticed that if I am looking for the original work folder for any of the Interval videos, search for the file name of the .swf file, and look way down in the search results and look for a file with the same name but with the flash extension, .fla, or sometime just the flash file icon.)

Let me tell you all about it....
- a sampler page containing links to my work posted on social media.
- 2005 - detailing one of of many projects in which I work with tree cones.
Documentation that includes the process, the journal and the exhibition of a project completed in 2003. Best viewed on a desktop or laptop. Added here on June 2024 for a good friend.

This is a video I made welcoming students to an online wood shop course I taught through OCAD University (ocadu.ca/) in the spring of 2021. In the video I tried to emphasize the importance of developing personal practice, and by putting this into context I explained that the course I was introducing could be like entering a practice through the gate of wood. You'll have to watch and listen to get what I mean. Hahaha! Thanks to Robin Love for encouraging me to post this video. Check-out Robin's videos here: vimeo.com/user53525761
Enter here for a very small sampling of a very large project that was hijacked. (Actually, I haven't uploaded anything here yet. More about Interval. Sorry! It's a long story!)
Platonic Math - Calculating Bevel Angle for Icosahedra
I have been heavily invested in making Platonic Solid forms for most of my life. Here is a video I made and posted to YouTube on 3 Mar 2019. Figuring out how to make these objects is something I enjoy doing very much.
If you are interested in knowing what the bevel angle is for an icosahedron, I used my protractor and found the angle to be about 69.2 degrees, but you look for yourself. The following links to images of the angle and my protractor.

What I really like about this method shown in the video, is that the angle is derived by tactile transfer, and not by consulting an actual angle measurement.
More about the 1st Cicada project...
This is the talk I gave at the DCC in May, 2023
I am considering working on some of these at the Zen and Art Retreat at the Dharma Centre of Canada in a few weeks (August 2024) so perhaps I'll post some materials here...
A sampling of the many I've made over the years....
I didn't make these, but I know who did, and I love them!
