Day 4
972 to go

>>625626
gj anon i hope you finish :)

Day 11
948 to go

The threading was trickier than expected, maybe I should have kept the cranes with the wings up

>>625628
Nice

Day 24
920 to go

Will do one with upright wings for the next one

>>625630
Very nice, keep it up, anon

>>625623 (OP)
I've tried to do this twice, once with 15x15cm and the other with 7x7cm, and both times I tried I got 100 cranes in and just used the paper for making modular origami

Day 34.
840 to go
Turns out keeping them flat is way easier

>>625632
Did you have any wish in mind?

>>625633
ganbatte, anon

Can you still find your first one? I used to enumerate mine until mom got mad with the amount of paper spent.
Anyway godspeed to you

>>625635
It's probably the purple rightmost one.
I think I paid $50-$60 for importing both kits for a total of 2k papers, 7.5x7.5 cm, was cheaper than buying locally. Mostly just the shipping was expensive as fuck.

...

>>625623 (OP)
I gave this a go once in high school. I think I gave up at around 600 or so. がんばってね

>>597876
This is /po/, not /pol/

>>625623 (OP)
How are you doing OP? You should have made a huge dent in them by now at your current pace.

Day 60
740 to go

>>625640
That's only if you live in the US, not my case.

>>625641
Screw it, i'll join you too OP. I was able to find it cheaper on amazon. In the US is was $12.77. Race you to 1,000?

>>625623 (OP)
What is your wish?

>>625642
Go for it, but I doubt I'll go any faster. My estimate is that it will take me about 6 to 8 more months.

>>625643
To have a child.

>>625644
Breeding is overrated. Get a hamster, or a dog. It's the same thing and they are more lovable anyway.

Just bought this I'll try catch up to you lads

Day 87.
640 to go.

Small progress update, 1/5 done. This was a lot harder then I initially thought. Good luck OP.

Day 15
0 to go

this was the hardest thing I've ever done mentally, since all I've done is work and fold cranes for two weeks. During the folding I listened to Dune and a bunch of podcasts. I can't share this with anyone IRL because they would think I'm insane because I am, good luck on your respective journeys to 1,000. I think if one of us was exceptionally neurodivergent they could get it done in 5 days, folding 200 a day for roughly 12 hours a day, not including stringing.

seriously though good luck, may your wish come true

>>625649
Good job anon

>>625649
Those look so well made anon. You did a great job.

>>625649
>they would think I'm insane because I am
They already know, I can't think of a better reason to display it. What are you going to do with them? They're cool.

Some kind of lamp/chandelier would be really neat...or some kind of mobile. Personally, I'd set them on fire like a burning man kind of thing. One tall pyre.

>>625649
The absolute madman

Day 135
560 to go

Sorry about the lack of updates, had to move and that was a bit hectic

>>625654
im going to give it a go as well. will grab supplies tomorrow.

never give up

>>625649
Good job anon.

>I think if one of us was exceptionally neurodivergent they could get it done in 5 days, folding 200 a day for roughly 12 hours a day, not including stringing.

I did it once on a personal challenge. A thousand cranes is feasible in five days.
Let's see: Can you fold 20 cranes in an hour? If you do, a ten hour binge can produce 200. By friday, you got a thousand cranes.

Put a good podcast or watch videos on your portable while doing it. Be sure your elbows rest on the table: it cuts your risks of tendinitis.

How many of easy colour are in each strand of 100? Or are they strands of 200?

>>625660
The packet I'm using goes 40 cranes, 20 colors per strand. So you end with 25 strands

Update without picture this time, because I have been a bit lazy.
Day 206

Reaching the final stretch!

>he's actually folding 1000 cranes
>he's not dying of cancer due to nuclear radiation
godspeed anon, unless your wish is for "world peace," then fuck off

Just finished mine. I'm the anon from >>625648
It was a lot harder than I thought, but the pay off was worth it. Best of luck op.

>>625669
Congratulations anon! I hope I can finish mine as well I'm at 500 or so I think also good luck op

>>625669
Nice! Congrats

>>625668
you'll just have to fold your own 1000 and wish for world war to cancel things out

>>625669
Why did you make a gay pride flag out of cranes?

>>625673
Fags will never own the rainbow

>>625672
haha this needs a bump. btw, have you ever folded a double or triple "siamese crane"? interesting twist on a classic favorite. except with the triple crane you can only fold 999 of them. world war so close yet so far...

Well, here we are lads. 999 cranes folded, only one left.
And so we reach the end of the journey, and yet we are so very far, for it is not me who shall fold the last crane.
I now start a 18000 km journey, I'll bring back news in about a month.

>>625676
Good job. Looks beautiful.

>>625676
are you the anon getting married? if so congrats.

>>625675
Woah I've never heard of siamese cranes before, they look really cool

>>625676
Beautiful

>>625623 (OP)
Got one too
Fuck I didn't expect the cranes to be so tiny
Btw it cost me only around 5 dollars in my country but only because I got lucky

>>625676
Sweet dude, well done

OP here: Update

Well, the last crane has been folded, and I got a good response which later turned into a lot of doubts, and overall seems like this is not going to work out, kek. Much like in the original story, the cranes are useless, but I guess that was expected.

Was interesting thought, good luck everyone.

>>625683
God bless you, anon. This has been a fun journey.

>>625683
Stay strong OP, and kudos for your efforts!

>>625683
At least you tried, anon. I hope it all gets better for you :).
You have inspired me, and I've started my own with the paper I use to take notes in my university.

>>625681
It's over
I'd folded around 300. Then got busy with the moving, then just forgot about them for a couple of months. Yesterday I tried to find them and realized the box where I put the folded ones got lost while moving. I think I'm still going to fold the rest. It just sucks that I put so much effort into this and I can't even finish the project because I started folding by color

>>625683
Sorry anon

Well, I think it's time I get around to starting mine. Paper should be here by the end of the week, and I decided to go with patterned paper instead of the usual rainbow, so we'll have to wait and see how it all looks complete. I don't have a definite "finish by" date, but I don't want to take forever. Probably not going to tell anybody else about this either, so sharing updates here is going to be the only thing I do.
See you all in a few days with the first progress.

>>625689
1/1000

>>625690
50/1000
First strand done (sorry for shitty picture), and these are already a lot bigger than I thought. Not sure exactly how I'm going to store these. I'm getting the hang of making these, and I'm happy with how the patterned papers look together

>>625691
how many are you making a day? Think you can finish by the end of the year?

>>625692
Hopefully by end of year, yeah. I had to take a little break, but we are back at it again. Just finished 100, and since I usually sit down and do 10 at a time, 20 if I'm in the zone, so I'm still on pace. 99 days until new years, so I still have some wiggle room.
Also, I underestimated how much space these take up. I'd like to make something nicer to hang them on once I'm finished, but for now the only thing I can think of bar keeping them in a box is to hang them on my blinds. Or I go the full catharsis route and burn them all once I'm finished. Feels like it'd be kinda fitting. Honestly, I haven't decided what I want to do at the end.

>>625693
200/1000
The blinds that I was hanging them from were actually really weak, so I'm now awkwardly hanging the strings from a coat hanger in my closet. Not the most attractive setup, so probably no more pictures of the strands until I'm done. Gonna have to pick up the pace to finish by 2024, though. Last month has been very busy for me, so hopefully I'll be able to catch up in the upcoming weekends. Only have to do 75 a week, which should definitely still be doable.

>>625694
410/1000
Slowly but surely we are getting there. Still hoping to make it by the end of the year, and with a bunch of time off work coming up, I think I'll be able to get it done. Definitely getting better/faster at folding these, but stringing them up is still the worst part. I usually get almost a whole string folded before I sew them together out of laziness

500/1000
I'm going to be honest, finishing this in 2023 is probably not going to happen, but that was never really a real goal for me, it was just a convenient target. They are starting to take shape though, and it's nice to know that I am over the hill so to speak. I still hate stringing them, though. Easily the worst part of the whole experience so far

I'm joining this thread. I don't exactly have a total number of how much I've done but here's my main stack where I've been dumping my cranes. I need to string them up at a later date.

>>625689
I became the 5th IP, anon. I hope you had a nice Christmas. It looks like we're the only 2 in this thread that need to finish. Let's finish together.

>>625649

I thought this was a typo until I read the rest of your post lol
