sorry to dig up a really OLD topic;;;
i'm interesting in trying this model soon, and i just have a few questions before i start.
how long does it take to fold?
is all the precreasing necessary? (it says something about skipping to step 11 if you mark the creases instead?)
and is it possible to use paper smaller than 16x160cm?
;D

You'll need the vertical precreases in 16ths but apart from that the first view precreasing steps are only for determing the position of the horizontal creases. You can skip those if you want to measure them out, but it doesn't make much of a difference if you determine the position by folding.fmatt wrote:is all the precreasing necessary?
Just do as the diagrams tell you
Well, there's a rumour of Satoshi Kamiya folding one from a chopstick wrapper.... but I wouldn't really suggest using smaller paper than 16x160 for a first attempt. Of course, it all depends on the type and thickness of paper you want to use.fmatt wrote:and is it possible to use paper smaller than 16x160cm?
So long and keep folding ^_^

Re: Black Forest Cuckoo clock
I haven't made it but I'm looking at the book.
If your Step 55 looked right, then the creases should match up in Step 86. See step 88 for a 3-D view of the way the sink goes. Also, look ahead through Step 94 to see how the whole middle part gets thinned.

Re: Black Forest Cuckoo clock
I'm attempting the black forest clock, a little ambitious both in size (2 ft x 20 ft) and difficulty compared to what i'm used to folding.
I'm stuck on step 92 where you are supposed to "swing the rest of the model to the left." The picture in step 92 shows 5 vertical sections on the flap on the right. The horizontal mountain fold should drop it down to 3 sections but step 93 shows 4 sections. Also I'm not clear what the "push hear" arrow means.
Thank you in advance for your help! I've made it this far and don't want to give up...
