Breakout by GG Riggs
Been woodworking for 35 years and this is one of the coolest things I have ever seen.... Well done!
I agree. Have you checked out Izzy Swan's youtube channel. He has some pretty awesome stuff too.
There was a young kid that did this and was giving out the angles and degrees but can’t find it , hope it’s still up
The music and the craftsmanship makes me want to build something in my shed.
I don't have a shed.
The music and the craftsmanship makes me want to build a shed.
PhantomFilmAustralia 😁👍🏼
PhantomFilmAustralia Dude that is some sharp delivery.
You sir made my day
Respect from Poland!
So, it is 3 weeks later, did you build your shed yet, and is it a big ball?
Okay but if the ball is made out of wood, why is the music made out of metal? 🤔
Oblivion776 It does have a few staples in it. 🤷🏻♂️🤘🏼
🤯
Because metal is what makes the world go round! 🤘 😄 🤘
LOL
Lol
I never would have thought plywood could be so beautiful! The circles that are created when sanding are incredible. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Kev 👍🏼
Your Welcome 👍😎👍@@ODDBALLGALLERYKeithWilliams
I have been woodworking for nearly 50 years. This is one of the coolest things i have seen! Excellent
Watch some japanese masters
You’ve not seen my wood
@@jaycspeedier5507 Lets see it then >:)
Dark Prince lol ya beast
clinton iker make a UA-cam channel lmao
To say 'beautiful project' is an understatement. This is more like fine musical instrument quality. This is art. Well done.
AMEN!
I'm a married man and have been working in woodwork for the last 70 years and this is by far the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life bar none, including my wife on her wedding day
hospitalcleaner Thank you , I kinda feel like part of your family now.😀
I take it your wife doesn’t go on UA-cam
You've been married too long. ...and you're getting forgetful. And I think it's a really cool ball too.
@James Gilbey he really got involved right at the end of the wedding day.
I’ve met his wife and I concur
This is such a beautiful work of art.
The hours taken to produce this is extraordinary, I played it on .25 speed , just so I could see how you did it, but even that wasn’t slow enough.
I applaud you, it’s just magnificent the detail and the intricacy of it all.
Kudos.xx
Peaches Jackofski Thanks 👍🏼
The most accurate title i've seen on youtube.
Not 100% accurate. He also used glue and some fancy heated tape. 😅
Its big
Those items along with many others are what we call the tools of craftmanship. Along with scars, he who has the most of these, wins.
Especially the "odd" part. Wonderful pattern.
C.N.C machinery,, First in the precision metal WORK Engineering then The Machinery was made to cut wood to the same tolerances..
C.N.C machinery makes a master of a Student!!!!
I wouldn't mind longer videos, you're a great maker and we could all learn something from you.
As a professional cabinet/furniture builder I can get stuck in the same thinking day in and day out and focus on efficiency and making money. This was fun to watch. When someone works for years at woodworking you realize most things work from the same ideas and experience but the “out of the box” thinking here in this video is impressive and fun to watch. Great idea and great skill to make it all come together. I really enjoyed watching this.
Mark Spears I know what you mean. I have been in the custom woodworking biz for 25 years. I was drowning in a sea of raised panel doors and crown moulding. I had to find a way to separate my love of woodworking from the day to day “get it done” business side. It feels good to build things with no real purpose once in a while.
I never looked at the dislikes until I read the comments. How could anybody dislike a accurate and interesting and fantastically executed work of technical art? Anybody that dis likes this has no idea what a cool project it really is. Is their skill level and understanding so low that it doesn't register? I am going to guess anybody that dis likes it probably has trouble getting toilet paper to ball up.
I think some people have issues with my music choice.
I think my favorite thing is how this wasnt drawn out 20 minutes watching you cut every triangle in real time. It's a simple beautiful concept
Drew Rabbit 👍🏼
My internal dialog:
“Wow that looks awesome, hard to believe the initial cuts were so accurate”
“Noo! Don’t round it off, it looks too cool”
“Whoa 🤯”
Amazing Precision cuts, I can't even miter chair railing without a gap. True craftsman.
Jennifer Osborne 👍🏼 Thanks
There's some truly fascinating geometry in there, involving the icosahedral symmetry group.
And what an amazingly beautiful result!!
Fred
ffggddss Thanks Fred 👍🏼
@@ODDBALLGALLERYKeithWilliams Quite welcome!
My grandfather worked in wood - he was a pattern-maker for Studebaker in South Bend. He died a few years before I was born, so I never got to meet him.
But my dad seems to have picked up several of the skills; he'd occasionally build something simple of wood, although it had nothing to do with his chosen career (meteorology; numerical weather prediction).
So I appreciate a well-executed woodworking project. I'm also a mathematician/physicist (retired), so I appreciate the geometric beauty of this design.
Fred
ffggddss My dad was a machinist at Caterpillar tractor. I learned about precision measuring from him . I spent a lot of time working with both metal and wood growing up. I didn’t gain a real appreciation for math until I was older. I use a combination of simple math and trial and error most of the time.
@@ODDBALLGALLERYKeithWilliams Well, whatever you used, to work this out, keep doing it, cause it's working!
Fred
Have you seen Sauron's Eye by Olivier Gomis?
I'm a fifth generation master carpenter and thought I'd seen it all. You just blew my mind.
Very nice workshop setup.
Bucky Fuller would be impressed- great precision cutting!
I'm not a carpenter, but I made one of these balls last week, about 8" dia. from 60 triangles. It came up really well for a first try. No gaps or cracks. But I didn't have one of the fancy woodturning setups for making it round. I used a metal cone made from a small chimney flue cap, added a holesaw arbor and put a disc of 40 grit circular sandpaper inside the cone of the flue cap, with velcro dots. By just lifting and turning the ball under the spinning cone on a power drill until there were no more flat spots, it ensured that the ball came up perfectly round. A little more hand-sanding with the cone using 220 grit paper really smoothed it out. 3 coats of lacquer later and it looks like a shiny bowling ball with a magical pattern.
Nice job 👍🏼 Way to make it work using what you have. So did you make a dodecahedron with 5 triangle pentagons?
@@ODDBALLGALLERYKeithWilliams Yes that's right Keith. the 60 triangles made 12 pentagons. Credit where it's due. My wife saw your excellent video and 'persuaded' me to get involved in making one. The first challenge was to cut the ply into strips on the correct angle. A few years ago I found an el-cheapo Ryobi table saw (with a bent leg) in an industrial skip. So I repaired it for this job, powered it up and was able to cut 50mm wide strips with the 9º angle on both sides. Then with the correct secondary angles in a basic drop saw and a backstop, I could cut the triangles by flipping the strip with every alternate cut. Once I worked that out it went really fast to get the 60pcs. The pentagons all went together really tight on the first attempt. I just put the third coat of clear urethane on the ball and it has taken on an excellent golden colour. It is about bowling ball size. A pity I can't post pictures here.
BTW We're a few km East of Melbourne. (Australia, not Florida) Cheers.
A Galah I’m impressed that you got it to work on the first try. I made quite a few before I even had one worth showing. I’d like to see it , send me a pic to oddballgallery@gmail.com
I like the double Dewalts all most as much as plywood ball. That lathe is pretty darn cool as well. Nice work.
I agree...the ball is just the by product of my desire to design and build tools. 😀
I thought the same thing.... crown molding super machine! Lol
The circles that appear from round in off the triangles is totally beyond cool. Great work!
I once made a turkey by tracing my hand and adding colored paper. Lol. Fantastic skills never thought of plywood being adaptive to other projects.
my brother made a boat out of plywood 20 years ago and it still floats. If properly utilized plywood is a highly versatile material.
I'm a second generation professional woodworker for 32 years but I've never tried this nor seen how these things are made. Very cool craftsmanship!👍👍👍
Tony P Thanks 👍🏼
Incredible art and skill. The vision to make this and the method is exceptional. Those who press thumbs down...really? Is it because you don't have the tools ODDBALL GALLERY does? Or the ability and ingenuity? Still.... .02 percent versus 29k.... guess who wins! ODDBALL GALLERY! Thank you for an excellent video on a wonderful piece of woodwork! Respect!
Maybe its the background music.
Thought the little ball at the end was going off the table for sure then it just turns around and leaves. Awesome job!!
darkking222 it’s sentient, it’s gonna steal our jobs and fuck our wives.
Dude, kinda genius! Your shop equipment looks pro asf and well maintained. And anyone else get a small amount of anxiety when baby ball was rolling so close to the edge? Oh and pre-sanding the ball looks like a deathstar.
The little ball I thought for sure was going just drop and explode! That is the coolest wood working project I have seen, ever! Gold star for you!! 💫
Firstname Lastname is allowed Thank you 👍🏼
Talk about someone with some free time on their hands, and being a old school machinist (Prior to CNC machines) Some of the tools I did not know existed. Great video.
My dad was a machinist at Caterpillar for 40 years. He taught me a lot about precision measuring and working with metal. I built the miter saw fence and sanding lathe. Most of the tools I used in my sphere sanding jig video I got from him.
The part at 2:00 when all the circles start emerging from the levels of the plywood, that's priceless!
Dude, who would have thought, so much beauty in plywood. 👊👊👊
No kidding! At first, I assumed that was a painted design, but this is truly Michael Angelo finding David in a block of marble!
I know nothing about woodworking so when the patterns started to appear while you were sanding the outside of the ball...completely amazed me! I assumed they were added manually to make it look more interesting. Beautiful project! Thanks for uploading.
Not added, it's the layers of the plywood showing through because the plywood is being shaped as a sphere.
owntone5 👆🏼He is correct 👆🏼
I am deeply impressed! This is one guy that knows his math!!
Wayne Shaw 👍🏼
...And has the practical skills to realize the project. Maybe he's more of a polymath!
Fantastic! That mitre saw setup is amazing!
I liked that too. I'll have to buy another Dewalt.
Who else was panicking when the little ball rolled to the edge? xD
*raises hand*
The Viking Woodsmith I did ✋🏼...it was supposed to stop when it hit the big ball. What you don’t see is me running around the workbench ready to make the diving catch.
lol i think its strong enough to sourvive the fall, wood glue at this surface amount is pretty strong.
@@hyperhektor7733 But it would certainly make an impression and mar the finish.
I bet that took quite a number of takes!
Don't quite know how this ended up on my UA-cam play list but I'm glad it did. Truely masterful sir. Cuddos!!! 👍👍👍
[Whispers:] "kudos"
D T Thanks 👍🏼. The algorithm thought you should watch it.😀
This is the easy way. But I once saw an old Japanese guy who took 300lbs of old lint and used toilet tissue and smooshed it into a big ball that over a period of ten years he then polished, kneaded, squished, and polished some more, into a ball of pure mirror glass. By the end of it, he had no fingers left. Amazing stuff. True craftsmanship. I heard he also kept little creatures called Gremlins.
Who would have thought this could be made,it looks stunning,BRAVO.
1) The music is awesome. 2) You're a clamp champ. 3) This is probably the most far out, amazing thing I've ever seen. I never would have guessed that the designs were just the plywood colors. That is awesome!
Wow that is a great demonstration of comprehension of geometry! Great job !!
Utilisateurpasvalide Thanks 👍🏼
I don't think I've ever heard real music on a UA-cam video before. Most refreshing!
Charles Moore We are in a small group of people who like the music. 😀👍🏼
I have over 100,000 hours in a cabinetshop and just when I think I have seen it all ??? ABSOLUTELY AMAZING WORK thanks
Mind blown. Unbelievably awesome! I would have never thought of having two chop saws next to each other like that.
Yes! I'm a big fan of assembly lines and organizing tasks into blocks. This was an eye opener. You're only limited by your pocketbook.
25 seconds in you show the angel. ‘‘This is the angel of the table saw too. You have to flip the plywood over each time. To get the most out of one sheet of plywood and to get 12 you must have cut them at 3 7/8 the thickness of your blade. And I am a Cave man. You are good Carpenter.
Scott Grady I am planning a few videos with more “how to” info
Who says you can't build a ball out of wood, true craftsmanship at its finest
clarence midgett 👍🏼 Thanks
Sitting here alone on Thanksgiving. You just made my day. Thanks.
aj Willow to bad for you to be alone but I have relative that are terrible people.....I moved out west to be alone.
deported from cal, now in mex goin on 9 christmases alone..! all because a cop wanted to dress like a hooker and i took the bait
Damn hooker cops! What are they thinkin'! You just made my day today. Good luck to you.
pookie one Why weren't you documented? You can't blame the police for this when you were in our country illegally AND doing illegal stuff to boot. That's just asking for it.
Remember....you are never alone
All video titles should be as simple as this.
"Guy's balls" would be even better.😅

That was awesome I tripped out on the design when he smoothed it out. Also really random UA-cam recommendation.
jeff the killer Thanks for watching 👍🏼
I too am amazed, been a millworker for 45 plus years, the simple materials can sometime make an incredible result. Nice work.
James Garnett 👍🏼
This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen done with wood...Awesome!
For all the people that when in high school, said they would never have any use for math, think again! This is SO COOL!
Am I the only one, who is impressed by that double miter saw setup? 😳
Or is it just an editing trick? 🤔
Felix C. 👍🏼
Kids, this is a perfect example on the importance of learning geometry and mathematics. Well done sir. :)
sarcspark I wish I had paid a little more attention in school . I’ve had to learn a few things the hard way. 😀
Dang. That transformation on the lathe was the coolest thing I've ever seen.
Yeah, how does he do that?
@@cathybenson5119 --Obviously, black magic.
The lathe itself was pretty interesting.
@@rcb3921 Yes so smart and simple! Looks a lot easier than when Frank Howarth makes spheres "by hand" in the lathe :)
No "fake news" here. That's a giant ball of plywood. Got to justify buying all of those tools somehow. Well done.
This is exactly how they built the Death Star
Good work, I make stuff like this out of paper when I'm bored at work and I can tell you, when I finish the ball I have all kinds of gaps, I bet a very slight difference in that saw angle at the beginning would throw the whole thing off
Nabre Labre Yes, a small error on the cuts will add up quickly when it is all assembled. I made quite a few of these that ended up as firewood.
*Wonderful project. 822 dislikes are from people who realise they can't buy one or have the patience or clue how to make one.*
Penis envy. 🤣🤣
I sorta asked the same question. I can't imagine why [now a thousand!] people would dislike this; I really can't!
No step by step exactly how to do it. Lazy people today can't work shite out by themselves. Lol. Little bit of geometry would get you there man. I swear. Lol
that is pretty incredible.
Very cool! I have made a few, but they had equal bevel angles on all sides of each face - resulting in intersection circles that are centered on each face. I like the off center circles and the patterns on yours resulting from the symmetry.
By the way, I have added you to my featured channels. I like your work.
Steve, yours are absolutely awesome as well. You were my original inspiration. Keep up the great work.
@@Samurai-hi2jv Thanks! I plan on it.
Wow what a work of art! I love how you can see the patterns emerging after 2 mins!
BlackStarEOP Thanks for watching 👍🏼
You're a man of determination, perseverance, and sheer fucking will.
I threw in the towel several times before I got it right. I guess you could say I’m stubborn.
I wish someone appreciate the talent, hard work and the risk this artist tolerate and buy the art in good price!
Saw that gap at first and thought, “how could he have mismeasured...oooooh that’s clever!”
I wanted him to slip something inside before he put on that last piece. A little hidden treasure.
Jody Lomel 😀 check out my other video “this is definitely knot art”
A hidden drawer.
That's what SHE said
@@yamabushi170 nice one mate..
If he puts a small hidden door on it he could, as Adam Sandler says, put your weed in it, lol.
Well DONE....

John Trevena 👍🏼
John Trevena ....... I do??
I WOULD KILL TO EVEN BE ABLE TO JUST HAVE ACCESS TO USE THE EQUIPMENT IN YOUR WORKSHOP MAN!!!! OMGGG , this is literally my dream workshop haha.. I love the ball too that is an awesome idea with the ply wood it really looks cool once you start sanding it
Yes I was thinking, wow he's got some pretty cool gear.
Mr. Mike Moore Thanks Mike, I have had a cabinet shop for 25+ years , so a lot of the tools I already had available. I built the ball lathe from surplus parts over about a year.
@@ODDBALLGALLERYKeithWilliams Incredible work. I figured that anybody that could make that ball probably also made the equipment to produce it.
Sooo gorgeous, creating the geodesic globe and the beautiful transformation. Love it, TY for sharing.
Very impressive lathe. I really like the dust extraction system.
Perfect song choice and what a cool design surprise in that ball! Nice work!
Far out super cool man. Love how have two miters set up for it! cheers, Rob
That is probably one of the coolest things I have watched in a long time....👍👍
Genuine genius. Please further make application examples like world globe, Daily Planet logo, concrete prison balls or more rounder grenades.
Taufiq Suleyman 😀👍🏼
Just amazing, only took a little over 3 minutes to make.. that's why I choose DeWalt too 😁
zachary dorsey Thanks 👍🏼
This video was edited down to 3 minutes, in reality it would've take about 4 hours.
Skillz YT 40 hours
@@ODDBALLGALLERYKeithWilliams 40 hours or 40 minutes, either way, it's impressive! I would never be able to do this even if you gave me a year! You have a new subscriber, my friend.
Skillz YT I didn’t think anyone would want to watch the 40 hour video. 😀👍🏼
Talk about knowing your Angles. This is the coolest things I've seen in a while.
That's possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen on UA-cam!
Absolutely beautiful. I love that didn't stain or paint it and embraced the natural patterns of the wood
Kuuipo Randall 👍🏼
Amazing! I love birch ply. People often talk about how to hide the edges with ply, but they are the best thing about it, in my opinion (providing it's birch or similar). I've just made my own kitchen worktops with 30mm BP and Formica, specifically so I could leave the edge exposed. They look great. I've also got a coffee table made by my Dad in the 1960s that uses 18mm and white Formica, which was the inspiration partly. Anyway, your stuff is taking that edge-love to another level :)
scubapig There is sometimes hidden beauty in ordinary things.
I didn’t know how hard I need a plywood ball!
I’m sorry. But you’ll have to wait until I have mine. 😇
I need one too
Dude! Video liked, I subbed and damn, that is so cool, my hat is not only off, but thrown several feet away from my current location! That is probably one of the coolest, most ambitious and unique projects I have ever seen. Looking forward to more!
I gotta say that yes, the ball is interestingly unique ,and I do like it,but I also think that it needs to be stained more of a medium stain to show more of the graining. Glad it was clear coated to protect it.
I have found that the plywood doesn’t absorb stain evenly.
Killer project and FINALLY some decent music in a wood working video.
Richard Harris Welcome to the brotherhood 🤘🏼you are now part of a select group. (People who like the music)
One of thee coolest things I’ve seen from plywood ever great job
So what are the other two

Common Sense Thanks, a lot of dislikes on the music🤷🏻♂️Glad you like it.🤘🏼
That was pretty awesome. You also have some of the sickest woodworking tools I've ever seen. Several of which I didn't even know existed.
Chris M I few of them I build for this purpose.
WOW. Beautiful and highly creative. Never seen anything like it.
Man your workshop is absolutely incredible! And a beautiful piece of art you made
Richard L Thanks
That was like magic, the patterns came out of nowhere! Really beautiful creation!🤗
Buckyballs rule - amazing.
When the little ball rolled across the table to the very edge and then back again it reminded me of the playful ball in the classic Pixar anglepoise lamp animation - as if it had a life of its own.
alan sturgess 👍🏼
263 dislikes.... Really? Explain how such amazing skill and imagination in only 3 minutes makes you people butt hurt. Do better... Betting the farm that you can't. This dude has mad skills and the forethought to keep the whole thing short and interesting. So again, do better if you can. (Not holding my breath.)
It could be the music that's triggering people. I'm not a huge fan of overbearingly loud music in UA-cam videos.
@@privacyvalued4134 I watched this at 3am. I had the volume turned off so I wouldn't wake up the house. I had to watch it again with the volume up. I'm good either way considering I'm sort of a Metallica fan. The music is fine..
I was blown away how it all fit together so precisely. The last fitting pieces had no gaps or other compounded gap errors. The man knows his wood and tools.
Privacy Valued turn the volume down or off. 🤪
Not that interesting. Easily why it has so many dislikes. Im one because this boring shit popped up as a suggestion. Waste of my time.
Outstanding vision, craftsmanship, and brilliantly video-produced. Not a dull moment. Bravo!
stegokitty Thanks 👍🏼
Wow. I only dream to get to this level in wood working. So envious of that shop too 😎 keep up the amazing work!

Wow. Love it.
Peter Brown Thanks I appreciate that. 👍🏼
make a resin version of this !
came for the ball, stayed for the music
This is amazing mad skills
Bel Rick I think we are in the minority on the music.🤘🏼
I've seen a lot of woodworking vids both good and bad...without one spoken word, this was incredibly awesome! Liked the music! Nice ending with the rolling ball almost going over the edge!
And by the way...405 thumbs down? Must have been those who wanted Barry Manilow or Kenny G music instead. Hahaha
Wonderful project. 600 dislikes are from people who realise they can't buy one or have the patience or clue how to make one.

I think this is how the Death Star was made.
And its parts were assembled by Darth Vader using just the Force ⚛️
Then where did they mount the lathe and sander? Inside a hollow planet? :)
But made of metal!
Mmm, I don't think so
But Darth Vader was not present when it was made, and no Wookies were harmed in the production of this video.
