  • Making a small 60-sided geodesic dome out of solid pieces of wood. Lots of miters! woodgears.ca/geodesic/
    A 60-sided geodesic is derived by taking a 12-sided dodecahedron and turning each pentagon into a 5-sided pyramid.

    Great to see you make that thing, I've build a similar one at the art academy three years ago and still use it for storing small tools and some other special items :) Built my own laser cutter some time ago and now can cut thin veneers with it, so I make these shapes out of very thin wood which makes it easy because I don't have to use miters for the thickness :)

    Nice. I can imagine those miters are very hard to get right - once I made a world map in the shape of dodecahedron and it required quite a long time to fine tune the cuts. But the result can only be beautiful.

  • @matthiasburger2315
    @matthiasburger2315 9 років тому +4

    That was a nice surprise! I will instantly have to fetch my own old paper-polyhedrons. I made a icosahedron from wood almost 30 years ago, but that didn't turn out as well as your dodecahedron-based geodesic, because I had a very cheap table saw. Btw: I assume, that your old one at 0:05 has been made without the double cut you show at 2:15.

  • @jasongekko373
    @jasongekko373 8 років тому

    Awesome work! You mentioned about your dislike of tape as clamps. Here's a suggestion: Use the masking tape to line up the pieces (just like you did), then use a 1/2" thick rubber band that they use to hold broccoli stalks in a bundle. Secure the rubber band around the outside of the 5 piece pentagon. The pressure will be exerted inwards which will hold the pieces in place until the glue dries.However, this will only work for the pentagon pieces. Once you assemble the 12 pentagons into the sphere, use large rubber bands (cut from a car tire inner tube). The pressure will keep everything nice and tight but it will also allow last minute adjustments until the glue sets.Excellent video and excellent UA-cam channel. I am now inspired to try to build my own.

      Fuller once announced that he could cover New York City with a dome, for the cost of snow removal for ten years. He said the year round temp would be in the 70s F, so no heating or cooling costs for the residents. He was still on campus when I attended SIU-C, but I never thought to go meet him.

    As you know Dodecahedron is one of the sacred geometries.
    And you may also know that, if you were to build one big enough for you to sit inside comfortably, you will be *inside a sacred space*

    Mathias, Merry Christmas to you and your family . This video inspired me to make three way speakers, 3 domes on a base. I used a ring with sand paper on the inside to sand and shape the domes round. These are floor standing speakers using JBL studio master components and crossovers . I'm planning a set of dome speakers made out of limestone, they will look like snowmen. I wanted to thank you for all you expertise and videos , especially this one. My wife extended you this complement:
    "His ,(meaning you , as I watch your videos), skill and craftsmanship makes you,( you is me her husband), look like an idiot".
    It's true. Still I love her after all these years. Thanks again.

      frank howarth I'm not so fond of the "sculpture as a a birdhouse". I guess a birdhouse is the new "ashtray" that kids always made from clay, for lack of a better "use" for it. I'd be more concerned about weather resistance for a birdhouse.

    • @moonanddarkness
      @moonanddarkness 9 років тому +3

      Matthias Wandel
      What better "use" is there for this piece you made? because for me a birdhouse it's just as good as any other use you could give it. If birdhouses have become dull proyects, what better way to put some style and expertee on them than making something like this into one?
      I do see your point on this being somewhat difficult to make waterproof, but I'm sure there is a way that this could be done, and i would love to hang this piece on a tree and see a bird flying out of it. That or play D&D....

  • @dralexy1874
