Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2016
- "Rolling through the Bay", Scott Weaver's toothpick sculpture took 37 years to make. His 9 foot tall sculpture of San Francisco and is made of 100,000 toothpicks and glue. If that wasn't enough, Scott built 5 different "tours" where he can roll a ping pong balls though it and watch them go around the sculpture like a mini roller coaster ride. We visited Scott at home and at San Francisco's @exploratorium to see how and why he builds his toothpick sculptures and to see his work in action. Truly Amazing Art!!!!

better use something recycled...it is just such a waste and marketing strategy to use toothpicks to get attention...not art, just some craft based on wasting woods since it costs way more to produce those toothpicks, just make some wooden crafts... I feel bad for those trees. kids get inspired to craft when we do a lot of other more environmental friendly things as well. You are just trying to make it sounds deep and meaningful by saying that.
@@CR-pe9hs 37 yearss of work isnt just some craft
Subbed
My guy is out here living his best life man :,)
OCD on display
He got balls to put it in front of people without a glass panel infront of it.
Many balls
-Syringe - especially kids...
😂😂
I think he’s happy other people are seeing at all. Would you rather have it in your living room?
@@cpmenninga No. I would rather have it in my fireplace in January when the temperature gets to be -44F (-42C) 😄
A 5 year old and a lighter could ruin this guys life in mere seconds.

More like his life...
1. THIS DESERVES a full 3D documentation of the project.
2. This deserves architectural drawings of the project and plans for 3D printing replication.
3. THIS NEEDS PROTECTION. A glass container is mandatory with an entrance so the work is protected.
4. This is his freedom and his valhalla. A gifted man with a great talent. This IS an artist.
This guy takes the phrase "take your time" to the extreme. The fact he had the patience to work on this for 3,000 hours spanned over 37 years. Kudos, I guess.
Was it just this one project? Or has he been working on many others also? It seems like he has added aditional tracks to the original sculpture, but worked on other sculptures too
You guess?! Shit is super dope.
a 40 hr work week yields 2080 hrs per year. He only worked on this on average just a hair over 1.5 hrs per week for 37 years.
That's dedication.
@@thomasrobinette3227 When telling your boss the phrase "I'll get to it" goes to the highest level.
Bullshit. He probably ordered it from AliExpress
I don’t know why this is on my recommended but I am satisfied
Because its awesome just like you👍
Satisfaction is UA-cam's currency. That and money.
@@Jimmy_Jones very good sir.

This guy is cool
Pikapetey Animations heyyy your that pikachu twerking guy!
SorrowS4V exactly lol
I always laugh when i see you in the comments on some random video i decide to watch at 3 am
Pikapetey Animations ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
He has to much time on his hands
I’m not sure if I’m more impressed by his sculptures or the fact he knows exactly how many toothpicks he used constructing each one!!😊
If You're Impressed At All, Look Up Suicide. LOL!
He is counting the packages, they probably come in 100 each.
The artist in me is impressed, inspired and daunted by this incredible work. And the human in me didn't stop smiling the entire time. Bravo!
kind of a waste of 3000 hours to be honest...
i dont mean to be picky, thats the tooth.
frankly, leonardo, that's a little too much information. tell the artist and the other guy to make their own accounts
You need mental help
@@rustyshackleford3936 "To much," Huh? I'll be sure to tell everyone.
I disliked this comment. Thanks.
As an art major I can officially say that ill be starting my application for the grocery store tomorrow.
That is where you guys usually end up.
redngolden that’s fucking cold dude
we all know it's the best you're going to get too... poor thing.
Then work your way up to waiting tables.
@@debaucherous.hamster true tho
This guy sounds truly proud of what he's created, and he should be!
Gazelle Samyueru Its a truly amazing sculpture
so what is the purpose of this comment?
Willy Willward the purpose is that there is no purpose. Only an endless void
Should he be proud? It looks like a pile of shit thats wooded over after 37 years.
ka1kage right on bro. I could say the same thing about you comment. Just garbage coated cow shit
I like how humble he is, he daylights as a grocery store clerk and he built something so special ❤
Humble? Than man is mentally ill and needed help, not wasting his life on toothpicks.
Mental illness is real
He shouldn't have to work ever again, he clearly has a talent. To be honest it's very sad that this man doesn't realize how important making money off of this is. In order to get back the effort that he put in he should have had his own UA-cam channel where he demonstrated the entire process, he could literally pay for his entire families houses and lives but instead he went on someone else's channel for them to take all the money. I can't stop thinking about this these days, it's the reason I started my own UA-cam channel 5 years ago. I kept going on other channels and I would see the videos would do well, it's the same thing with a 9 to 5 job. Eventually you have to do it for yourself. Everything in life is risky, take that leap.
I'm thrilled to see it's in a public space. That's a fine piece of art that deserves to be seen. Wonderful.
That is probably the single greatest piece of art I have ever laid my eyes upon.
Yup, it's pretty awesome. Mind boggling detail.
Agreed. I'm almost curious would he sale that piece
Bad Drivers Of The Illawarra YEAH...YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN....SINGLE & NEVER GETS LAYED...NO PUN INTENDED..LMAO...HE NEEDS A WOMEN!

just... i feel so small sometimes... and i love it
this man is one of the wonders of this world we find ourselves in
I'm an SF native, and in the first 10 seconds, I'm already in love!!!!
I'm surprised he's not an architect or engineer because this is one amazing well thought out structure!
The phrase: "The best helmsmen are at the shore" may be actually literally true.
He doesn't know anything about structure he only glues toothpicks together 🤦♂️
@@kalegallarde6369 you trolling, bro
Some people don’t live out the full potential of their talents in public arenas because the social requirements to do so are too daunting for them. Some say Nicola Tesla was such a person.
I thought the same thing. He would make a great architect or engineer. He could also make great commissioned pieces of art out of more durable materials than toothpicks.
Dedication AF
www.GPcarAudio.com no life af😂
dedicated af*
Stop saying af as if it means something! There are so many words in the english lanuage, use them!
Hey
Kat B what does lanuage mean?
If you ask me, this piece of art should be worth the same as a Picasso Painting.
Excellent Art.
His art transcends!

Oh crap I accidentally copied off when I didnt even see your comment lol
Only trees would dislike this video. Amazing!
Wade Higgins I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees *Dislikes*
That's a lot of trees
Wade Higgins I love that joke u did
+Mr G Gaming 2.0 Potato Actually an average tree can produce 6 to 9 million toothpicks. This man only used 105 thousand toothpicks.
Brown Grown Ohhh
Seems happy and nothing else matters. Hurts no one and inspires. Can’t ask for a better life than that.
Imagine being that one kid who drops it all on accident

He would deserve a medal
When the creativity of a child meets the finesse of an adult.
If I was a millionaire I’d have this guy build the coolest theme park entirely out of man sized toothpicks.
You Sir deserve a cape, a true hero ✌️💜
Another ordinary guy with an ordinary job doing building amazing structures in his spare time. 👍👍💯%!
I wouldn't mind seeing the video on how they got it from his house to that museum...
Douglas Milligan legitimately the only thing I was pondering about.
Same
Same
Very very very very carefully
He wouldn't have put it together this way, just standing up adding stick by stick,
He would have built each part separate at a table or something then put them all together piece by piece

Yup now I have three kids 👍
I applaud him. Doing things that bring joy and peace are foundational to a happy life. What more does one need?
Truly incredible. Give this man a prize.
This guy lives near me and every Christmas he puts up so many stuff for Christmas and he calls it " weaver's winter wonderland"
mikayla the dino awesome! We filmed this a while back. It was December so we got to see it too while it was up. Filmed a bit of it too. I should put it Facebook sometime. It's quite amazing!
That guy haven't lost his spirit, it is so rare in his age. Real man you have there!
Mikayla the Dino dino NO YOU LIVE NEAR HIM...IM SURE HE WAS THERE 1ST!
Mikayla the Dino dino lucky you

He probably has a sharpener designed for that nail clipper.
100%
Nice! Amazing Scott knew exactly how many toothpicks were used to build!
Das ist eins der imposantesten Dinge die ich jemals gesehen habe . Das ist für mich wahre Kunst
So no one's gonna joke about the *half* toothpick? Fine.
I thought about it but there really was no point.
@@johnfons5573 I can think of one point... maybe I can pick your brain about it?
@@RossHadden Go on, prick me.
@@johnfons5573
Eh i took a fair stab at it and im still not sure myself
Half vertically ?
it's a shame this guy isn't an architect, talented guy!
Yeah, he could design a shanty town!
he looks happier than every architect i worked with though.
i rather be happy than be a director of a development company. if only i know how i would give it all away but it is the best thing i have. and the job renders me sleepless at nights in such a global economy.
i rather be him. heh. i think i will but i need a proper exit plan.
happiness is greater than wealth while wealth & social status doesnt guarantee happiness but unnecessary attention, that i can assure u. And u ll realize after awhile in life it is harder for u to make real friends when everyone is after some material thing from u at the first place.
sick of it all. i wish i can find his happiness.
THESE GUYS YOU SHOW ARE DOING EVERY GUY DREAMS OF FULFILLING
This is INCREDIBLE. Wow. What a work of art.
I hope the grocery store lets this guy stack the coke display.
They’ve banned him from stocking the toothpicks.
"This is magnificent though it's lost us some customers since every time a physisist or an architect comes in they stare for a few minutes, turn pale then slowly back out the door again."

In the grave
Thank you for sharing this amazing sculpture. Hopefully it will live somewhere long after you are gone.
The awe, delight and pleasure on the faces of the children gazing up at that phenomenally beautiful artwork says it all.
Your series finds the most amazing artisans and their amazing creations, thank you for sharing these wonders with us!
What a nice comment! Thanks for watching! More episodes on the way! Cheers- Guy
This guy makes me smile 😊
This man is an engineering genius , how is he still a grocery store clerk ?!
Nate Raiden no ambition.
Nate Raiden How is this engineering? He didn't calculate anything.
CasaXtreme TheGemanLegion
He built it. And it doesn't fall apart. That's engineering! :D
He used a nail clipper for precision cutting! It is pure engineering!
Engineering is a process necessary in the creating of any tangible object. The fact that this man was able to design and execute a machine like this that works clearly portrays that he has mechanically oriented mind. Anso, maybee he did not become an engineer is bectausr he just likes creating, instead of sitting at a desk all day.
This man took his School Project and made it to a life project :) This is ,,Listen what your teacher tells you to do" on a new level.
5/8/23.......WOW!.........Thank you for doing this kinetic sculpture!......A fellow artist here,...my name is Dave....I built models as a kid, had building toys, later became an artist, then a print maker, then a one-of-a-kind, sculptured art furniture maker,....less about function more about them being pieces of art. I get such a kick out creators like yourself. I collected aluminum foil to create a basket ball sized ball.
I love "tramp art" & street artists who use found junk, bottle caps, and creative popsicle stick art. My earliest art when I was in college was building things with corrugated cardboard, I built full body covering costumes, hats that look like architecture, and tons of models for the furniture I later made in wood and mixed media. I appreciate your dedication to building those wonderful toothpick sculptures. Yay!
Anyone can destroy - but to create something ingenious like this takes a special person.
I admire his tenacity - but mostly I admire what he’s actually produced. Incredible!
Thanks! 👍🍻🙏👋
HOW STURDY IS THAT THING and it holds all the balls......CRAZY
Surprisingly sturdy! He brings it on tour and travels with it quite a bit. It's amazing!
Coolest Thing OH WOW😳😱
AugGaming I’m ashamed
And that's how you start the that's what she said jokes.
UnoLivLand Plays Pants! Lol
Imagine stepping on it
Ken Reacts how tall would you have to be to step on a 9 foot structure🤔
Majinjef2099 20 feet
or burning it
Imagine that toothpicks puncture your skin through the shoe
(jk)
Ken Reacts I hate you for imagining that . You're a monster
That’s sweet. Glad it got a place in the exploratorium.
One of the coolest things I have ever seen, Thank Gosh you put it on display
So not only did he build this he also counted every single toothpick!
Mr.MonkeyZ MemeZ true but I imagine it was more of tallying up how many boxes of 500+ toothpicks he used rather than counting every individual toothpick.
probably why it took him so goddamn long
You think, he counted the toothpicks , after sculpture was finished ? haha
Brother?
But where is that elusive half toothpick?
What a awesome guy

Why can't someone on UA-cam, ever make a comment without a bunch of weird ass people being all philosophical and shit... really cringy

"Suddenly a gust of wind hits the toothpicks"
that will never happen unless you do it on *purpose*

Fantastic piece of art & fully deserves to be in a museum, 37 years of his soul has gone into creating this. As an artist myself you have my RESPECT.
I wish someone would be as committed to me as he is to this sculpture
LOL
Madisyn McCormick don't we all?
Put some content up then
Madisyn McCormick hey how are you are you on Facebook?
That's asking way too much
This is real modern art !
Sure, I will watch this 6 years old video about a toothpick sculpture. Thanks UA-cam recommendations 😁👍
Would be a shame if he sneezed with that thing on his head
iMisterJ TV hahah lol
First off, id love to see how he moves and transports this thing without ever breaking it. Secondly, if youre doing stuff like that, you need to get out of the store clerk gig, theres much better things you could apply for cuz this guy is super smart.
No big deal -- he carries it on the back of his bike.
i know right lol
It actually splits in two pieces. I know, I’m his son. Lol
I agree. It is very cool! Now THAT is dedication!
Man ,you build heavenly aboard
salute to this guy
Imagine he crash his little toe and falls into these buildings
dont forget this is a toothpick too

I would love to see a video on how they moved it from his living room to the present location. That would be fascinating. Packaging it up, and transporting......
I wouldn't even know where to begin. Amazing 👏👏👏
That is amazing, you have some real talent. I think it is awesome that this all started from a project your teacher gave you and now you are passing that on and inspiring kids to open their mind and be creative. Great video and happy holidays!
And I thought if my house burns it would be terrible...
I'm glad his out where the public can see it.
You've sparked the creative minds of all who watch.☝🏿✌🏿🖖🏿👏🏿Bravo!!!🤗😁👸🏿👸🏿👸🏿
Imagine how cool it would look if someone painted the whole thing.
With a tester paint brush 🤣😂🤣😂
The tootpick theme would disappear.. it'll look like plastic..
@@anehjunior2305 I mean, It's at the Exploratorium with a plaque on the wall that says it's made of toothpicks. I don't think painting it will make the toothpick theme disappear lol.
