Does anyone have...

Aw, c'mon Jeff. All you need is one of these:

That does look pretty cool. I think it would make a great piece of sculpture hanging on a wall.

each one of those squares = 12"

I'm actually building this thing soon.. though framed differently.
I like Daves idea of putting it on the wall -- maybe a little 3D print of this version.

Swimming pool or skate park?

[boofredlay]

Wouldn't your skateboard wheels get caught up in the open squares?
What would you skin it with?

[jeff hammond]

for skateboarding ... of course!... why waste it by putting water in there?

surface = 2 layers of 1/2" ply then a final surface of 6mm Finland birch

12 inch ?
in 2011 there are always these sortes of measures?
That is completely incongruous!
Decimal system don't penetrate in the new world?

1/2" is 'half' an inch ~12.7mm
So 12mm ply in EU/Rest_of_the_World == 1/2" ply in USA...

[Rich O Brien]

A quick way of converting imperial fractions to metric is....

1/2" = 16/32" (Change to 32nds if possible)

Multiply 16 by 8 ( 16 * 8 = 128)

Put in a decimal at one decimal place

so 128 = 12.8mm

It.s an approximation but a pretty close one.

Boring message over

Sweet model Jeff!

How did you make the bowl shape(the negative space)? ...is it mathematically generated?

i admit, metric makes way more sense.. i guess we're (americans) just stubborn? or too lazy to switch?

our 1/2" is actually 15/32" which is really close to 12mm (11.9mm)..
just easier for us to call it half.

23/32 = 3/4" ply
19/32 - 5/8" ply
etc.

What !!!
The USA has [slightly] thinner plywood than the rest of the world ??
Let's all agree to call it '12mm'

Did you make the model out of Slicer cuts or ModelSlicer ?
I have a project on the backburner to make a Slicer+Slotter using components in the assembled set and flattened...

[Dave R]

Plywood is almost always thinner than the dimension it is called but then so is all other wood. A 1x6 will be 3/4 in. thick by 5-1/2" wide. If you want one inch thick lumber you have to buy 6/4 and surface it.

i guess you could say that

haha.. i can imagine this jobsite scenario
me - "hey, buddy, bring me a sheet of that 12mil"
him -" uhhh "

So the square of Jeff 12" must be 30.5 cm or 30.48 cm ?

any way we call it, that's still an awful lot of cardboard!
