Great little pearl of wisdom, Don.

I burn wood, get it delivered cut & split in standard 16" length, and never considered the origin of this dimension. Fascinating.

Tim, daisy wheel / base-12, etc, would be an excellent new topic. That upcoming geometry workshop w/ Laurie Smith has me drooling. The roots of it all...

Perhaps Gabel can advise, but as I understand it, won't any dimension fit in the daisy-wheel system provided you base your wheel on that particular length to start with? I mean, there's no set wheel diameter, correct? We can use the wheel whether it's a foot wide or 15 feet wide, yes?
