Rusty Ring<p>100 Days On The Mountain The first blog post I made after I came out of the jungle. <a href="http://rustyring.blogspot.com/2011/09/100-days-on-mountain.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">rustyring.blogspot.com/2011/09/100-...</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23100DaysontheMountain" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#100DaysontheMountain</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23ango" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ango</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23hermitpractice" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hermitpractice</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23maple" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#maple</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23meditation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meditation</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23poem" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poem</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23sangha" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sangha</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23walkingstick" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#walkingstick</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23wildlife" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlife</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23Zen" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Zen</a><br><br><a href="http://rustyring.blogspot.com/2011/09/100-days-on-mountain.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">100 Days on the Mountain</a></p>
Splines<a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SeeFeelTouchHug?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SeeFeelTouchHug</a><br> <br> In both <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/art?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> and <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/engineering?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#engineering</a>, one must be able to both <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/see?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#see</a> and <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/feel?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#feel</a> things that might not be there (yet).<br> <br> We were able to "see" the outlines of the <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/scroll?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scroll</a> surface from <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/imageScans?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#imageScans</a> of <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Vignola?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vignola</a>'s sketches in <a href="https://pixelfed.social/p/Splines/793169876757012827" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://pixelfed.social/p/Splines/793169876757012827</a> and <a href="https://pixelfed.social/p/Splines/793215298082967733" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://pixelfed.social/p/Splines/793215298082967733</a>.<br> <br> Vignola's images are on a 2-dimensional surface, as are the outlines we extracted from them. We believe the scroll surface also exists, but it is not yet manifest in 3-dimensional space. So, like a visually impaired person, we try to "feel" our way to the scroll surface using the outlines as our <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/walkingStick?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#walkingStick</a>.<br> <br> This diagram is identical to that in <a href="https://pixelfed.social/p/Splines/793493316852849994" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://pixelfed.social/p/Splines/793493316852849994</a> but with the rear ends of the horizontal <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/primaryCurves?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#primaryCurves</a> marked with R1, R5, and R3, which are paired with F1, F5, and F3, respectively.<br> <br> We know that the scroll surface must <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/touch?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#touch</a> the tangent points T1, T2, and so on in front, as well corresponding tangent points in the rear (not shown here to reduce clutter).<br> <br> In <a href="https://pixelfed.social/p/Splines/792906324854792619" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://pixelfed.social/p/Splines/792906324854792619</a>, I mentioned that a scroll starts with a volute in front and is <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/modulated?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#modulated</a> by as many as six volutes of different shapes and sizes as it reaches the back, with the scroll surface tightly hugging the volutes at EACH contact point in ALL 3 dimensions. In other words, it is not sufficient for the scroll surface to "touch" the <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/volute?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#volute</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/spirals?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spirals</a> just in the front and rear. It must also "hug" the intermediate <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/modulatingSpirals?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#modulatingSpirals</a>. I will first show this technique with 4 modulating spirals using rectangles M, N, P, Q, and R as their frame, and add more later on.<br> <br> Intuitively, we know that if we use curve F3-R3 as our walking stick on the straight vertical extrusion of that curve, we will feel the scroll surface *somewhere* on that extrusion along every point from front to back. We can narrow it down further by excluding portions above and below as we approach rectangle R in the rear.

It's the first I've ever made, so it's been great practice.</p><p> I just finished the wood burning, and now I am going to try leather wrapping the handle (another thing I've never done before). </p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/woodworking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>woodworking</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/walkingstick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>walkingstick</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/stick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stick</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/whittling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>whittling</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/MyNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MyNews</span></a></p>
