The Cardboard Bicycle

Today's Blog is going to be quite short, because the article and video I am going to point you to, says it all.

It is about inventor Izhar Gafn, he has made a bike out of recycled cardboard which he says can be made for about 9USD

You can see the article HERE

There is also a video worth watching

As I said yesterday, the Paper Training Group met and made some key decisions about its future. More about that in the future!

Finally I have been messing around with Amazon.

While I was writing some of the course material for the Paper Technical Certificates I was told that I had to provide a 'suggested reading list'.

It is very difficult to find such specialist books in the regular corner book store  so I had the idea of searching out the most relevant books, setting up an Amazon Shop with links to them, and letting the students read the reviews, and buy them if they wished.

I had no idea just how many books there are about paper. I started listing History books, for the UK, then for NON-UK, then I found some books about hand made paper, I thought it would be fun to list them. Then by accident I spotted a book on Origami, so I thought it would be fun to list a few of those. I was flabbergasted to find books on 'adult' Origami!!!

My next task, (later today), is to add the section on the technical aspects of papermaking..

I have put all this as a page on my website, which is now back up and working thanks to Magic Simon!

In case any of you would like to view it, I have put a link at the top right hand corner of this Blog page just above my photograph.

Have a fun day
