 | | Half-Plate-High Steps —Don Rogerson
|
| | | I'm working on the file for this in bricksmith, but thought I'd post a teaser for anyone else who'd like to try this building puzzler: create a set of stairs with risers one half plate in height. Here's an example: (URL) This is the basic unit of (...) (14 years ago, 6-Aug-10, to lugnet.build, FTX)

| | | | (...) Half steps are fairly trivial... try quarter steps. They're possible ;) Tim (14 years ago, 6-Aug-10, to lugnet.build, FTX)

| | | | | (...) Well for something so trivial I sure have a lot of people e-mailing me asking how I made them. And nobody who's telling me it's a simple thing has offered a technique of their own, yet. So let's see some quarter steps! (14 years ago, 7-Aug-10, to lugnet.build, FTX)

| | | | | | | --snip-- (...) I've had these on BS for about 6 years and I was far from the first to do it. (URL) Not sure if there's any quarter plate steps (URL) in here> but there's certainly the makings of 1/3rd plates. Tim (14 years ago, 7-Aug-10, to lugnet.build, FTX)
