    To stretch paper, canvas, and similar sheet materials on a board or frame, start in the middle and stretch it outward as you glue or staple it. You will end up without wrinkles or bubbles. I learned this in oil painting class many years ago.

    • @SwitchAndLever
      @SwitchAndLever  6 лет назад

      That's a very difficult thing to do dealing with a big sheet of sticky plastic though as you'd need to essentially peel the backer paper from the center out.

    The secret to Ikea is to enter through the exit. You bypass all the furniture and get right to the placemats. Just look confident and don't make eye contact.

    • @SwitchAndLever
      @SwitchAndLever  8 лет назад

      Except in this IKEA they were closer to the entrance than the exit. Downside with entering through the exit is that you have to fight your way through people coming straight at you. It's like a gauntlet!

    @jeffharmed1616 8 лет назад

    Thanks for sharing. The resultant map looks wonderful. At the end of it all, with about 30% of your place mats going to waste, was it still cheaper than buying cork sheet?
    You really need a touch-screen TV for your wall maps - routes and destinations easily inserted or deleted, maps swapped out and your holiday snaps easily tagged in.

    • @SwitchAndLever
      @SwitchAndLever  8 лет назад +2

      +Jeff Harmed more like 10%, but yes, it was less than 1/4 the cost I could find the equivalent size cork for.
      As for touch screen, seems like an awful waste of electricity.

    Fin film. Ett litet tips bara: istället för kork kan du använda nåt som heter kapaplatta som passar utmärkt för ditt ändamål. Väldigt mycket lättare att klistra på och om man inte vill hålla på själv så kan man lätt lämna in den för klistring på en firma. Blir bättre men är inte lika skoj förstås. Tjosan!

    • @SwitchAndLever
      @SwitchAndLever  8 лет назад

      Jupp, använder kapaskivor (eller foamcore som det också heter) mycket i mitt arbete, både att bygga prototyper med, och som postit-boards. Tycker de är värdelösa när det kommer till att göra anslagstavlor av dock, själva skummet ger inget motstånd när man väl passerar själva pappbarriären. Gillar känslan av kork helt enkelt.

    • @MrBallefjongen

      You indeed could, but I couldn't find one nearly the price of the cork from IKEA. I tried to do it on a budget. If you're willing to throw money at it, instead of time, then of course that's a much easier way!

I spent probably a couple of days on the site just rummaging around, being fascinated by all the maps, until I found one that I truly liked. Also mine is altered from the original, as it was centered on the US and I wanted it more traditional, from dateline to dateline.

      Look into different map projections if you want to understand why that is the case. Basically, you cannot unwrap a sphere into a rectangle without some level of distortion. I chose this map because it's beautiful, not because the projection is accurate.
