Make: Online : Phonebook card holder

Phonebook card holder

I want to know what's capable of rolling a phonebook so tightly it can be used as a rolled card holder held in place with a chromed steel tube. Via Core77.

Becky simply lacks the imagination. Comes from being a cultrue jammer rather than a culture creator.

@JP I just thought it looked so tight that maybe a machine rolled it. I commend the wrists and fingers of whomever did it, if it was done by hand! =]

@The Oracle - ok, you're getting very close to being on "notice" if you insult someone on MAKE again i'm going to ban you from the site for a few weeks, if you continue after that i'll have all the authors remove your comments and we'll also ban your account / ip address permanently. i really don't want to do that, we never have and hopefully never will (besides spammers).

when you comment constructively, the comments are great and i think everyone enjoys them (i do) but when you personally attack someone it really just encourages more of that, and we're not going to have that here.

to be really clear, it's not this one specific comment that got you here - although it really bothers me that you're telling becky that she has no imagination and doesn't "create culture" which is not true, she's one of my favorite artists/crafters/makers and we've been lucky enough to have her work with us. the comment you posted had nothing to do with this post at all, it's just a personal attack.

if you have any comments or questions please email me directly.
