Pics of the finished dodecahedron

Sorry I was so late in getting these up. Thanks to don for the design tips - that technique of the larger pentagon out of which you cut the smaller ones by running it along the fence worked quite well.

Very nice. Modern furniture & storage. Must be a market out there for them.
I take it, with the knob on top, that they open for storage (or to hide in they're are so big).
Good job. I'll stick to 90s & 45s , it'll be a while till I get good enough to try these.

Well done, Will. I love it when a good plan comes together.

What's next?

Thanks guys, glad you like em. They do open for storage, they're chests. It just takes a little while to alter your perception to where you can see them as chests since you've lived so long in a world of boxes. I actually have them up for sale on a site where you can post your crafts for sale. No bites yet. ill post it in case anybody's interested in the site. I'm not totally sure Id recommend it though. I have this vague feeling it doesn't get that much business. I read a bunch of testimonials they have there and not a single one said that they had sold a lot of stuff on the site. They all just said things like: "thanks great site!" thats not really a testimonial at all.
Don, whats next is an icosahedron. Its sitting down there and the glue is drying on it now. Its a shelf model, a foot high. I'm gonna build a big one out of mdf though also. The gluing for the icosahedron is trickier even than the dodechedron. You really gotta use duct tape and work as quick as you can before the glue sets. I'm getting used to splining though. And I owe it all to you, good ole Donny. thanks bro.

anyway here's my "storefront" on that site: http://www.artsandcraftsfair.com/Storefront.aspx?Folder=TheGeometrizer. Though I really think I may have better luck actually taking them to stores and things and trying to get them to retail them. Even ebay may be a better bet, gets a lot of traffic.
