I picked a chair by Alvar Aalto. I don't think I will be following along this path. I've got some materials research I need to do

Orr have them "travel" up and back down, like a jump? eh ehh?

Just so I don't forget

Use rivets in the pages, spaced slightly apart from each other so that they “travel” from the top to bottom or vice versa

Part of my "experience"

I'm making my tree house for a Buddhist Monk.

Some sweet ass trees

My beautiful tree. It's on the east side of the Campanile, sort of by the Spencer.

Those were some rockets I made and shot off a week ago. All were experiments, and I'd say they worked pretty well. I still have lots of work to do though. For PGI I'm thinking a short whistle motor with heavy Ti tail, then a standard BP motor with no metal in the tail, then a Stinger third stage, again heavy metal tail. I can't decide what metal to use yet though. Al would be safest and nicest on the tooling, but FeTi or Ti would make a much more visible tail, which will be especially important since it will ignite at such a high altitude. Also I may add a small dark report charge to remove the stick from the BP motor to avoid a dangerous lawn dart. We'll see.
Time for testing.

Well, I tried and failed.
I took 2 "subjects", one male and one female to Lindley hall, to see if they could easily find a restroom specified for their respective sex.

 Locked.

The touch of a female wasn't even enough to persuade the doors open.
