This was my April Fools Day joke for 2013.
Tolerances and precision in woodworking have been two ideas that I’ve been contemplating for a long time (see A Box Called “Tolerences” and A Box Called “Necessessity”).
This video outlines the benefits of Magic Square (duration – 4:24).
After having to spend 6 hrs today completing an online drivers training course (a Humble, Texas officer recently noted in his citation pad that I should talk with the judge about my failure to completely stop at the stop sign), I was pretty much brain dead. I logged into Sawmill Creek to see if anything there could spark my mind back to life. I found Derek Cohen had uploaded a video about some guy’s Magic Square.
I laughed and now feel renewed.
Thanks for a great video !!!
