Instructions
The CURVULATOR (tm) is a set of 12 curved scoring
slots molded in one piece of sturdy 1/8" thick
clear plastic ... 7
3/4" x 10 1/2" overall. Use it for making circular curved scores
at 1" intervals from 2"
to 13" diameter. Can make the curved
scores on boxes like those shown below as well as other decorative
shapes. A
scoring tool is shipped with every Curvulator. By the way, the scoring tool is
useful as a folding
bone and the larger end can be used to score corrugated
cardboard.
COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS ARE INCLUDED IN EVERY CURVULATOR SHIPMENT.
NOTE: If you are making boxes with curved elements,
the straight scores needed to make boxes should
be made on by placing the
cardstock against the guide rail on the side of the Boxmaker Originale (tm)
platen marked "BOTTOM". The distance from the guide rail on the
"BOTTOM" side is essentially equal to
the nominal spacing
while the spacing on the "TOP" side is somewhat less.
YOU ARE PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH THE WORK OF FRANK GEHRY WHO
RECENTLY INTRODUCED ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE SCULPTURAL
CURVES INTO COMMERCIAL
ARCHITECTURE. HIS WONDERFUL "FORM FOLLOWS FANTASY" ARCHITECTURE MAY
BE
ONE OF THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT ARTISTIC DEVELOPMENTS IN HISTORY. HE PROBABLY
UNDERSTANDS CURVES BETTER THAN YOU OR I -- BUT YOUR USE
OF THE CURVULATOR CAN
HELP YOU BETTER UNDERSTAND AND USE THESE SHAPES.
- BASIC INSTRUCTIONS -- (1) Put the cardstock
to be scored on any relatively soft surface -- (even a
few sheets
of newspaper will work) and between the
surface and the Curvulator. (2) Put the Curvulator
over the cardstock where
you want the curve postioned. (3) Simply score the desired diameter curve
into
the cardstock by using the proper slot as a guide for the scoring tool.
