[Nfb-krafters-korner] Perforation experiment, model car kits.

[Brandy Wojcik]

Remember that our fingers are sensitized to feel more than yours are.
Sighted people can learn to feel such detail, but we've done it our whole
lives. Thanks for starting such a wonderful idea!

Subject: [Nfb-krafters-korner] Perforation experiment, model car kits.

Late last night after getting home from work, I made a body section pattern
from corrugated cardboard, pressed it down onto another sheet of corrugated
cardboard, and with a ball point pen, eyes closed, poked perforation holes
around the pattern piece.  It worked.  The perforations matched the pattern.
 
Then, with a razor blade, eyes closed again, attempted to cut the  
cardboard, running the blade from hole to hole.  I didn't do so well.   The
blade 
went off course, and I had trouble feeling the holes with my  fingertips.
 
I'm hoping that those of you test building the kits might use the parts to
test any ideas you have for cutting your own parts.
 
It's likely you will think of solutions that I haven't thought of.
 
I'll start preparing the test kits this weekend.
 
Hope everyone has a good weekend.
 
Until later,
Mark Crowel
