Our customer, Laurence, tells us that he uses super glue to strengthen wood – “After hand carving wooden propellers while building model airplanes I basically apply a liberal amount of super glue to the wood and let it wick in to strengthen the propeller and help prevent breakage.”
[Note: This tip makes a lot of sense! Super Glue is extremely strong, and substrates tend to break sooner than joints where the super glue is applied, so using it as reinforcement to strengthen the wood is a great idea!]
I’m an origami fan and paper airplanes is one of my favorite forms of the art. It challenges not just your folding skills but also teaches you about aerodynamics. I remember a software called “The Greatest Paper Airplanes”. It teaches how to fold 50 different paper airplanes step by step with instructions and videos. Too bad the software is no longer distributed but there’s a website that teaches how to fold those 50 paper airplanes.
