  1. Origami for geometrical constructions and a plug. by Flat+Feet+Pete · · Score: 5, Interesting

    There's a page here that descsribes Origami folds as an alternative to straight edge and compass contructions. You can trisect the angle using folds, interesting stuff

    I should also plug hexaflexagon.sourceforge.net a little app that puts six pictures onto a foldable template
