Thanks to those who've up-voted this. As I write this, it's been 48 minutes, has 3 points, and is down at place 491. Clearly it's been down-voted substantially, so various people must think this is actively inappropriate for HN, equivalent to spam.

I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts. Not many will see this now, it being ranked so low, but tell me - is this effectively spam? Is this actively inappropriate for HN?

People might think it is - some obviously do - but I'd like to hear the opinions, rather than just see the down-votes.

Let me know.

Thanks.

Edit: Now 51 minutes, 4 points, still down at 491.

This is absolutely the kind of thing I come to HN for (amongst technical discussions, interesting new projects etc). I have seen some of the singingbanana guy's videos before somewhere, full of enthusiasm and good explanations, he'd make a great teacher.

Possibly this is falling victim to overzealous flagging as people go through the list.

Keep on posting Colin, I often find the stuff you post here on HN to be interesting to me.

I like it and I upvoted it. I will do one with my daughter this afternoon. And my wife will kill me because of the mess :), but in December she will want to make a dozen of dodecahedrons as presents for our friends.

Don’t worry to much about points, flagging, dupes, ... Just submit interesting things and be happy.
