In a typical counter-example construction in geometric measure theory, starting from some initial set one obtains by successive reductions a decreasing sequence of sets F n , whose intersection has some required property; it is desired that ∩ F n shall have large Hausdorf F dimension. It has long been known that this can often be accomplished by making each F n+1 sufficiently “dense” in F n . Our first theorem expresses this intuitive idea in a precise form that we believe to be both new and potentially useful, if only for simplifying the exposition in such cases. Our second theorem uses just such a construction to solve the problem that originally stimulated this work: can a Borel set in ℝ k have Hausdorff dimension k and yet for continuum-many directions in every angle have at most one point on each line in that direction? The set of such directions must have measure zero, since in fact in almost all directions there are lines that meet the Borel set (of dimension k ) in a set of dimension 1: this can easily be deduced from Theorem 6.6 of Mattila [5], which generalized Marstrand's result [4] for the case k = 2.
