True - 32" is correct for scale - but I've thought that having the squares
be just a bit larger than the pyramid would be good too.  And having 4 extra
inches (in my 36x36" cardboard version) isn't enough of a scale problem to
me - at least not worth the hassle of cutting it down.

This assumes the ownership of tools to work with wood - band saws,
power sanders, etc - which
I just don't have.

If you're up for it - I'd love to see what you do with it!

And just as a last thought - those who receive these lists in digests do
dearly love when we snip out unneeded portions of previous emails instead of
just appending all the previous discussion within each post of the thread.
 Thanks to those who snip!
