Jeremy, I put together my first tessellation today, and it looks great! Thanks again for the step-by-step video instructions.

For those interested, I not use any epoxy, and instead used duct tape for everything from securing the braces, to securing the meter stick to the tessellation. We'll see if it holds long term, but I suspect it will be fine...

Jeremy, my suggestion would be to:

1. make a PDF of the tutorial
2. sign up for a free Dropbox account at http://www.dropbox.com
3. place the PDF in your public dropbox
4. post the link to the PDF here!

Jeremy, thanks for the instructions for the origami sculpture.

I'm looking forward to seeing a more in-depth photo tutorial!

I completely disagree with the "never buy the floor model" tip.

This is not a sophisticated piece of electronics - it's a mattress. How long do customers test mattresses out at the store for, two minutes on average at most? It's not like these floor models are going though years of use and abuse by people testing them out two minutes at a time...

Most mattress stores I have frequented either have you take off your shoes before laying on the mattress, or have a layer at the bottom of the mattress for shoe protection. Last I checked, people lay on pillows with their clothes on. With this in mind, you can really score a great deal on the mattress of your dreams.

Case in point: I just bought the floor model for a $2k Kingsdown mattress for $700...

plywood eames chair - check. floating bookshelf - check. "keep calm and carry on" poster - check. this all equates to zero originality. this place looks like a showroom floor...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
