Hinged dissection
- VLM 13y agoMaking one is a good table saw woodworking project. Bonus points to stick magnets into holes so it snaps into place. Right up there with using Golomb rulers as a decoration theme. Although I think OGR's are best implemented in paver brick patios using contrasting color bricks... "Real Math" decoration themes are an interesting topic. Not "fake math" like art majors drawing a square root so now its math themed, but art based on real math. Comp sci art themes are fun. Mosaic tile game of life "still life" perhaps with some interesting gliders or if you've got the space the legendary glider gun... or a still life of a partially completed quicksort?
