  Re: 45 degree walls using hinges?
 
(...) (URL) tackled this problem in my motel building. I can take more detailed pics if you are interested. JB (23 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)
 
  Re: 45 degree walls using hinges?
 
(...) Ah, my mistake. I was thinking in terms of a free-standing wall section that was attached only at the ends. It has the advantage of allowing you to do an angled step-out in a long wall, but the disadvantage of leaving visible gaps if you one (...) (23 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)
 
  Re: 45 degree walls using hinges?
 
(...) Well, that really depends on which parts you use. The brick hinges that were suggested have the hinge on the corners, so the wall really would be 5 studs long. --Bram (23 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)
 
  Re: LEGO Table discussion
 
Hi Jon! I got my tables at IKEA about a year ago, but I decided on using the "AMON" table surface and "CURRY" table legs. AMON is, at least here in Sweden, availible in both 120 x 80 and 150 x 80 cm with a few selections on color. One being white. (...) (23 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.storage)
 
  Re: 45 degree walls using hinges?
 
(...) Math is harsh. Wouldn't it be *better* all around if sqrt(2) were exactly 1.4? Or 1.5, even better. (23 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)

  Re: 45 degree walls using hinges?
 
(...) Close, but not quite. It's actually a 6-stud long wall in a 4x5x6-stud triangle. The 3x4x5 ratio is measured from the centers of the studs, not the studs themselves. Going 3 studs deep and 4 studs wide actually gives you slightly more than 4.5 (...) (23 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)
 
  Re: 45 degree walls using hinges?
 
(...) If it's not absolutely necessary to connect both ends to a fixed place, you could always just use one hinge brick on one side, and "tilt" the resulting wall at an approximate 45 degree angle. -Bryan (23 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)
 
  Re: 45 degree walls using hinges?
 
(...) If those dimensions are not critical, you can do a 5 stud long wall at 36 degrees using a 3x4x5 triangular arrangement. Since sqrt(2) is not a rational number, using hinges as you suggest is technically impossible. It sort of works for a (...) (23 years ago, 4-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)
