You are welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video.

Thanks for your feedback, thats brilliant. I will take that in to account, thanks for your help, the finished pieces on my website are more long form

Thanks a ton!

Because you are an individual of good taste.

Thanks so much

yea!

Thanks so much

Thanks so much

thanks so much for the comment. The bearings are sealed for life bearings and are rated for the wind loading requirements without grease, the bearings are expected to last 10-15 years or longer and can easily be swapped out by dismantling. You actually don't want too much grease in there to allow them to move easily in the lightest of winds but a bit is good to help reduce the chance of corrosion

Thank you!

Ha, brilliant, thanks so much

Thank you

Thanks so much for your kind words :) Hope all is well in your life

I know right!? Thank for subscribing.

This was at a garden show in the Malvern Hills, UK

Thanks so much

It is indeed yep, this was last year

@@WillCarrKineticSculpture I miss that area so much

Also I am amazed at your skills.....it is not easy on such a large field to drive that harvester making the letters line up , same size and perfect......knowing one only have one chance to do it.....hats off for you mate.....

Thanks!

Hehe, indeed

Oooh, I think part of the joy is figuring them out with play. I don't want to say too much but having the sculpture symmetrical along one axis makes it infinitely easier to balance, the bearings should not be too similar angle to eachother, i,e, if all bearings were vertical they would not pass energy between the pieces so well. There is more... perhaps play spot the similarities between my 5 latest sculptures, you may find the rules :)

@@WillCarrKineticSculpture Suppose I'm off to your other videos then on top of finding some high load bearings somewhere. Not something they sell in my local hardware store, nor anything I really need unfortunately(online shopping for the win, with me being at a loss for figuring it all out).

@@ignisking759 If you send me an email and how far you've got I may be able to help. I used deep groove ball bearings for the load spec that I need, and the bar/shaft has to be thick enough for that loading too. If you get a housing milled for this it can't be welded, I glue this milled bit inside a tube so that no heat enters the housing as this upsets the tolerances. If you have low tolerances it is best to use a lot bigger bearings than the maths says as they are only rated when the tolerances are tight, compression fit, bearing retaining compound can help too. If you are able to use 2 flanged bearings they are the easiest as they generally self center with a clever ball type setup but arn't so aesthetically attractive

I don't model how it moves in the wind in CAD, I will make sure it doesnt collide though. I use solidworks but is a very pricey bit of software

@@WillCarrKineticSculpture These details you just shared alone will save me a huge hassle of trial and error, thank you.

Thanks so much, this is electropolished which I really love

@@WillCarrKineticSculpture you mean polished by a machine..? Anyway will....I sent you sample of my work to your email address...hope you like it

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing it.

Thanks so much

@@WillCarrKineticSculpture I do dynamic art my self....and I know it is not easy to do what you have done.....I wish the apportunity will come one day so that I could show you my work....I do them just to fill my time....not to sell....I am too old to sell my work....but well done once again....keep in touch

@@fouadsharif2327 I would love to see what you do. Are you able to send me some images to will@willcarrsculpture.co.uk

Thanks so much

This sculpture used flange bearings as it is a rough model that I made before I go ahead with making one on the computer

Thanks so much

You or me?

Thanks

Thanks so much

Thanks so much

The sculptures are designed to be out of height of children. The larger pieces are also out of height of adults, the circle one, Ripples, is at a height to suit smaller or larger spaces and designed to have more horizonal viewing

This is designed to Uk or US wind loadings and will not fall apart. Only if you put your hands in during a storm you may get issues. I have larger sculptures which have all the pieces out of height of touch, this is out of height of children and adults have to use some common sense in a storm

Thanks so much for the feedback. Thats a great idea. I will get my video editor to make one showing a longer form uncut video too. All the best

Thanks so much

I'm not sure actually

Thanks so much

Thanks buddy, yes I can do that, if you email me I can send more details if you wanted

Thanks so much

Thanks so much

Cheers!

Yeah its when they get hurricanes I believe

Great, there are some tips and tricks on my page on how to do it

Thanks so much

Thanks so much

Hehe, great

Thanks!

Thanks so much

Thanks so much

Exactly, the welds are left as a repeating pattern on the surface
