q ho have a friend is a treasure ... Manolo and my friend got me (modesty aside). Conas apart ... Manolo, a great painter can see his work here , I suggested building a board to submit the table of chemical elements in braille, for students of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena and since I do not need much pushing to undertake any project I set to work without having a clue where to start. Manolo
put the material, I hand "expert" and my experience in the DIY, the result can be seen in the picture but I must say that as a photographer I'm a mess.
Once the project can say it was easy and satisfying, I have faced some problems because of my lack of knowledge and the overall understanding of Braille, but the result is optimal.
And more talk I describe the process:
1 - taking as a raw material cork tile coating - From which we cut using a floor-tiles 30x40 mm and then using a cutter and a nail file, I made a bevel to being placed next to each other could be clearly distinguished touch question independent rectangles (each rectangle or tile is an element)
2 - being the guide a table of elements and pasting the tiles on a cork board make up the shape of the table.
3 - manufacture a plastic template, cut out of an old book where trespass twelve points needed to form two letters any of Braille, a fine hole at each point and to put the template over each tile only had to mark with a pen the raised dots of each letter.
4 - and the most fun, with cone head pins placed on each marked able to identify each chemical element with the symbol letter.
This work has been very rewarding for me, not only because I have fun with it if not I understand the effort you have to do a blind person to do something that before seemed so simple as reading.
