Making 5-pointed Stars

… without a computer?

I have been trying to think how you’d do something like that, and this afternoon I found a site that shows how. Awesome.

    Good work with the star!
    When you send that stuff to me, why don’t you send those wood flowers I gave you at your wedding. I will refinish and tighten them up for you.

    5×5 becomes a star (5 outer points and 5 inner points). oh by the way dave, the pentagon called and wanted to buy the rights to your shipping containers just so the brits couldn’t ‘ave ‘em.

    Ha ha.

    I was trying to draw a star for 2 reasons:

    A star is an important part of the US Air Force “roundel,” which is a new series I am exploring (check out the rest of that site – it’s what makes the internet so amazing).

    As Phil said, 5 points on a circle are the next logical exploration of the 5×5, I think. Right now I am thinking about making a large sculpture with 25 5-bladed propellers on ball bearings, sort of like the front of jet engines.
