I know you've commented on my Flickr image of my rendition of Jeff
Beynon's model, but since you also asked here, I thought I should
reply here also. I remember the "equal 5ths" division of the corners
was the trickiest part - I didn't know of any 18 degree divisions, and
didn't want to mark the paper with too many extraneous locator folds,
so I cheated (gasp!) and used a protractor!
I some time wonder why do we spend so much time and effort to
create a certain division or finding a certain point using folding only.
For me main pleasure of Origami is in creating some thing nice or
graceful from paper using folding only. In the process if I need to use
some instruments, why should it be considered as cheating? In fact in my
opinion little bit of cutting or a spot of glue here or there is also
not cheating.
