Action Geometry From Trash

This shows how to use trash-only geometric fabrication to make what I call my "C1" construction, the first construction of Action Geometry, the system I use as the basis to build all things. In the end we make the three C1 constructions which are documented here:

These are the building blocks from which I build the C2 construction, which is the cardboard Platonic Solids. And with those I can build up to C3, which is the three dimensional construction geometry documented here:

The problem with the previously published version of the C1 shape constructions is that you need a compass, and those are annoying to find, and generally cost money. Also the ruler using English units is not ideal. So how to I build up the tools of classical geometry from trash in a way that actually works but doesn't need some capitalist nonsense like a compass or rely on imperialist units? By using the following tools:

clear plastic drink lid
wood stir stick or other straight object you can write on
pen
paper
my hand, either hand, or someone else's hand

Get Basic Unit From Anatomical Measures

I use the length of my ring finger, the third finger over from the thumb, between the middle and pinkie fingers. I mark on the stick what that length is. I could pick any finger of course, but by choosing a body part and sticking with it I can repeatably build technology from this with some consistency internal to my own technical systems.

Follow the images and look up the compass-and-straightedge version I have up here, as well as the trash construction I posted here. I'll be adding more content here as time goes on as well.
