The Euclidean Algorithm is a (the) way of finding a common factor between two numbers, say a and b. The method is to divide the smaller number into the larger and then divide the remainder into the smaller and continue Continue reading
A part of my wine cork construction project, a few years, was a trivet out of wine corks. Here it is. It is wonderfully light and holds hot dishes well away from the table. Looking directly down on it, one Continue reading
This post shows all the calculations I needed for getting equal total surface areas including the derivation of the surface area of an oblique cone using double integral calculus. I am still using OneNote for graphs and formulas, hence this Continue reading
I want to slice carrots for a salad. I have a conical carrot and a blue cutting board and an invisible knife. I could choose to make all the slices (slicing perpendicular to the cone s axis) the same thickness. But Continue reading
This post shows a derivation of the volume of an oblique cone using pure geometry. I am still using OneNote for graphs and formulas, hence this PDF.

Again, the post in a PDF. It is just easier to compose in OneNote and insert the file in the blog. Use your browser zoom to make it bigger if you need to as I do.

My crafty side needed attention. Hence the following. Here are some boxes I made out of Port Orford Cedar and Combed Cedar siding. The cube has a sliding dowel hidden latch so it must be oriented in a certain position for Continue reading
