Also does it include the trapezoidal/profile dimensions of the outside edges of the block? We'd like to make those. Thanks so much. If you already posted it which page is it on as I cannot locate the document section of the blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190462048494164843.post-4938219263588530872015-09-19T20:28:38.786-07:002015-09-19T20:28:38.786-07:00I guess it depends on type of wood.

I also chat about using dowels. I think dowels are a good choice keeping in mind the blocks still need to be cut to house the cylinders. It generally isn't the wood for this material that makes it expensive to make at home but more the tools required. If you have them - or can get all the bits cheaply - or have someone to make it, it would be great to make. For us it was the cost of all the bits that outweighed purchasing it.

We are thinking of making it in imperial with as close dimensions as possible by purchasing dowels from a local company and then machining the blocks. Thoughts?

Many of her materials are made based on this concept. This particular material also differs in 1/10 of a cm. in sequence - either in diameter, height, circumference, etc. The smaller cylinder blocks do not have this advantage...as the base 10 concept throughout the materials provides for consistency, ease of use, interconnectedness, and relation within the materials.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190462048494164843.post-63688522819740073012013-08-15T14:33:31.794-07:002013-08-15T14:33:31.794-07:00The smaller set is basically just that.

I personally decided to purchase the larger blocks/set because of the extension work/longevity, it was far more work for them to complete and really reinforced the purpose of the work. Speaking for myself here I wondered if I spent the extra money on this set, would I end up wanting to purchase the larger set in the end anyway? <br />I don’t think you absolutely need the larger set in the grand scheme of things, but it is a really wonderful material if you are able to purchase it. We made so many of our materials, and were given many as gifts that we did splurge in a few areas like this one. Realistically though most puzzles produced now have Montessori style knobs on them for practical reasons, but work just as well for the purpose of writing preparation.
