      sucks that this a rarity for your youtube feed. most engineering or crafting videos are still like this. most dont even have dialogue. even the high subcount guys. stuff like "maker b" or "shurap". even "AvE". even "adam savages tested" feels like old youtube. honestly a shame you only see ad infested garbage on youtube.

    That “nipple” sticking out was probably a high point which managed to not get touched by the grinding cups, and eventually got so high and steep that it wouldn’t go underneath the cup to be ground down, and so just bounced around. Great video!

      @spwinaustin I wonder if there are efficient algorithms for cutting a n approximation of a sphere of a desired diameter from an arbitrary starting shape with a finite number of cuts.

    • @Kargoneth
      @Kargoneth 9 місяців тому

      @spwinaustin I think that your method is decent. First create a cube at least as thick as the diameter of the sphere. 6 cuts yields 8 vertices, 12 edges, and 6 faces. Then chamfer each edge. 12 cuts yields 24 vertices, 24 edges, and 18 faces. Chamfer each of the resulting edges again. 24 cuts yield many more vertices, edges, and 42 faces. approximate a cylindrical prism along each axis. Decently spherical.

    You can buy diamond hole saws that are big. I have 4, 5, and 6, inch that i use to get the spheres started from the original rock. Spin the rock on a drill and come at it from the side with the hole saw. Makes a perfect sphere in a couple minutes.

The term was coined by Austrian geologist Franz Eduard Suess (1867-1941), son of Eduard Suess.[note 1][1] They generally range in size from millimetres to centimetres.

    Go back to the 1200 to bring that shine out.
    I can get a mirror polish on wood and metal with 1200, but you don't always get it if you rush that part and keep going upwards in grit. Those invisible sized scratches just get embedded and you lose all the hard edges which makes it harder to bring to a mirror finish no matter how long you go with the 2000. Honestly take it back down to 1200 and run it for longer before heading up to 2k, that should bring out that mirror finish shine, those rocks were soaking up the light beautifully, it could look truly magical.

  • @mxcollin95
    @mxcollin95 9 місяців тому

    Just a thought, I wonder if once you got down to the finest grit if you then slowly reduced the bungee tension in steps while continuing to run the machine if you’d get it even shinier? Or maybe even adding in something like baby oil at the end of the process to reduce the grinding/cutting action even further to thereby getting it even shinier than in previous steps?

    • @spwinaustin
      @spwinaustin  9 місяців тому

      That’s an interesting thought, I honestly don’t know if it would make a difference. In order to polish you still have to scratch out ever finer lines in the rock so you definitely still need pressure for that.

  • @nerfzinet
    @nerfzinet 10 місяців тому

    Have you ever tried using core drills? Seems like you could save a lot of time just drilling out a core, then drilling through the core perpendicular to the first cut. Or maybe just drill out a core then cut it lengthwise and proceed to the sphering step.

    Good thing you didn’t waste our time with the cutting and polishing process, otherwise I would have just had to go back to my favorite channel where the lady just shows progress pictures and then reveals the end product after her slideshow.

      Formations can be found like that in nature. They’re called conglomerates when the stones within the rock matrix are smooth and called breccias when the rocks are angular. If this is natural, it’s likely that it’s some sort of breccia as the pieces within are somewhat angular. I have seen breccias form like this in nature down in the Florida keys. Pieces of rock got trapped and solidified within an old sinkhole.

      You mean that wet saw with a lid and water/coolant mixture? Or the wet sanders with a water drip? Serously wth are you talking about also unless its pure granite i doubt its super high silica content. seems like a mixture of rock types which i think he spoke about.
