    The authors prove that for any prescribed closed subset of a line in Euclidean 3-space, one can construct a sequence of minimal disks that are properly embedded in an open solid cylinder around the line and that have curvatures blowing up precisely at the points of the closed set. The authors' proof uses new methods. An alternative proof, using standard methods, was given by \textit{S. J. Kleene} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 140, No. 4, 1423--1436 (2012; Zbl 1239.53006)].
