Though the movie project seems interesting, I can really appreciate the building process I f the small mechanical pieces. Your process of putting this movie together us like Mark Ho's intention for stop motion armatures. Though his intent was to make Stop motion animation armatures, it turns out he was more successful selling them as poseable sculptures. Like you're trying to develop a film, yet your machining process of making each little mechanical piece for each puppet is far more interesting than your movie. Basically, your whole channel is an awesome "how to" build puppets for stop motion. I have built stop motion animation puppets for local community and state colleges fir their film studies program. And have o look d blue prints of such, though I haven't bui l d a puppet in almost twenty years, your channel ignited that spark that was once inside me. Thanks. I hope to put together a project very do I n, because of your drive.
Thank you so much for your kind words, it's exactly how I'm feeling about it too! :) Of course I want to finish the movie, but from the entire process I like making all the necessary parts the most. Good luck with your project, I glad I could inspire you! :)
Thanks - That's only possible when I make the entire umbrella a bit bigger, maybe twice the size. In this scale there is literally no gap for the cloth between the metal pieces when folded up :D

Hi Valentin, kenne dich noch aus der Schule in Coburg. Finde es überragend, dass du immer noch an dem Film arbeitest. Weiterhin gutes Durchhaltevermögen ;)
Amazing! what sort of lathe are you using? P.S. have you considered using thin sheet of silicone for the umbrella? or adding some to the edges to make it more resistant to tearing?
I got an "Emco Unimat 3" from a very generous supporter. It's really tiny, but nice for miniature parts like these :) ...No, I didn't come up with the idea of using silicone. I'm not sure it would have worked, it's very difficult to glue and to paint...
Not on hobby machines, but you can commission the parts at specialized companies. They cut very precise, but afaik their machines cost like millions :D
Greetings from a fellow miniature artist in India! Incredible work Valentin. May I know where I could buy that mini lathe? Is there a website/model name you can point me to? Many thanks in advance :)
Thanks! :) That mini lathe is an "Emco Unimat 3". I got it from a generous supporter and it's ideal for turning tiny decorative pieces like these ones. But it's not really massive enough for working with steel or on larger pieces, I'll need a bigger one for my mechanical work sometime in the future...
I am making a clockwork driven circus carousel for my grandchildren. This umbrella you have created is exactly what I need. Are you able to sell me one?
Thank you! Sadly I don't have any left. I could make another one, but as single piece this would be rather expensive I'm afraid. Maybe you can make something similar from Wood yourself? ...It sounds like a lovely project, I wish you good luck!
@@ValentinFelder I appreciate your replying. I completely understand, I am making a carousel from brass meccano fittings, which I hope will last a few generations. I was hoping that you had made some more and would have one that you wouldn't mind parting with for probably $100+. It is hand made, so I can relate. I do love the care and attention you put into your work.
@@michellemassey1612 Yes, that sounds like it might last some Generations! :D ...around 100$ was the price for the original pieces from the series actually, but I've made 10 of them - Making a single one would be more like 400$ or something, and I think there is not enough demand to make a whole new series... But in case you're really into it, I've put out the number and you can write me an email info@dasgetriebeimsand.de (But of course I fully understand that this is probably over Budget for a little gadget like this)
How is it that your umbrellas fabric fail, yet the simple cocktail umbrellas have been around for 91 years, without tearing...at l east not deliberately. C'mon maaan, you can figure it out.
I know what the problem is, but its hard to get around... The hinges at the top are just too "big", so the top edge of the fabric extends rather than contracts when folding up the umbrella. Easiest solution would be just to add a flat circle of cloth at the top to cover it up, but I came to the conclusion that it looks bad because it's too wide at the top... cocktail umbrellas are much thinner, because their "hinges" are only paper folds... I'll figure something out for next time ;)
@@TimWater-cc3rs You cannot simply buy these. I designed it from scratch, and manufactured it myself. (Besides the lasercutting, which I commissioned at an industrial supplier).

I'm your fan from Russia! Happy New Year! Good luck in your work!
Toll! Bin seit ein paar Monaten auch an der Bank, allerdings ne größere Drechselbank.
Toi toi toi das Du bald fertig wirst mit dem Film..
Gruß Michael
Wieder ein schönes Filmchen!
I really love the detail in the design.
Do you think it would be possible to design it so it completely folds upon itself like a full size umbrella?
Thanks - That's only possible when I make the entire umbrella a bit bigger, maybe twice the size. In this scale there is literally no gap for the cloth between the metal pieces when folded up :D

You are amazing....

You can LASER cut brass? I didnt knew that is possible.

@@ValentinFelder thank you 🙏🏻 appreciate you getting back
So cool ist funktioniert so gut sogar wenn es so klein ist😮
Is this model will workout in 3d printing
Probably not, not in this scale at least.

@@ValentinFelder I still love it, but yes, $400 does price me out. If I needed 10, I would have negotiated!!
Thanks for your time

Ничего не понял, но очень интересно. I didn't understand anything, but it's very interesting.
Sorry, I can only provide english and german - But I hope you liked the visuals anyway! :D
Where do I buy the parts
