(...) Oops. Did anyone catch my math mistake? That should have been a 10u axle, instead of 12u. If you cut a 7u axle from a 10u, then you'll have a small leftover piece that's a little less than 3u long. Geesh, isn't Monday over yet? Oh... it is. (...) (22 years ago, 10-Sep-02, to lugnet.technic)

What you can also do is use a 10U to make a 7U and also a 2U (or use a 12U to make a 7U and 4U), discarding ~ 1U. Once again, it is best to just use what you have most of, especially since 2's and 4's are rather plentiful. "Thomas Avery" (...) (22 years ago, 10-Sep-02, to lugnet.technic)
