Meeting

November 29/11

Rick, Two Jims, Chris, Paul, Peter, Mike, Robert

Leo reviewed some math regarding finding angles for a polygon.
Take the number of sides, minus 2 and multiply by 180.This gives the total sum of all angles in the polygon.
Eg: 7 sided figure: 7-2=5; 5x 180=900: all the angles should add up to 900.

Leo showed hot to use a curve to make salad bowel spoons so as to maximize the yield from a piece of stock.
The trick is to have an identical curve on each edge of the pieces.

We decided to meet next on January 3/12
We decided to get Leo a bottle of wine and a fruit basket for Xmas.

Tip:

Letter and line spacing:

When you have a string of letters in sentences that have to be aligned accurately, place the leters vertically abutting against each other, measure the distance that remains in the alloted space, divide by the number of sentences or lines you want to have and this gives the distance apart that the lines will be.
Cut a strip of veneer or cardboard this width and use this as a spaced to line up the sentences.

Measure from E to the bottom and divide by 5 to get the spacer width you need
Eg if the arrow length is 20 inches, then 5 inches is the space between lines that you want
