Of course! Thanks Peter. I think the jigs save time in the long run. I made two of these puzzles, so lots of repetition. And that miter saw thing @ 6:16 was sweet. I still can't think of a better way to cut those things;)
I'm sixteen years old, I'm from Australia, and I think you are one of the most fantastic content producers I've ever witnessed. The ingenuity that you show will never cease to amaze me. You have fans down here in Australia too, pocket83.
Awesome video! I liked the on paper instructions rather than narration, that was well suited to the technical details. Really nice camera angles as well. Easy subscription from me.
I like your videos and they show much individuality and genius. As [professional wood workers it is important to demonstrate safety and the importance of keeping it a constant practice in our shop. When I am asked about safety I sometimes respond that using power tools is like juggling, "beginners juggle tennis balls, professionals juggle chain saws". However this is definitely not an excuse to be careless. Keep up the good work and all of your fingers!!!!
Thank you Pocket83 for a very nice and instructive video. I could follow most of the reasons for your calculations - I used to be a mechanical and chemical engineer, but your expertise in woodworking absolutely floored me. Figuring out on paper is 10 percent of this job - doing it with skill and precision is what really counts !!! That squishing the final product was uncalled for, and is a downer. But, your wood working skills are incomparable. Salute. Maybe, you should talk, once in a while - that would really help .... or else a lot of subtitles.
About half way through I was wondering why the hell I was watching this. I'm glad I stuck with it. The craftsmanship is amazing!! You definitely have a new subscriber!
Just wanted to say thanks for your videos. Just found this channel and I love your show, don't tell approach. Found some great ideas already. You've got a pretty cool woodworking with a mathematical bent kind of thing going on. And your sense of humor in the videos/comments is just icing on the cake. Keep up the good work.
Great! I have another thing like this to release later in the year, but check some of my older vids until then. I have hundreds of vids, another channel, and much hidden content. Thanks ;)
A video not like any other i have seen.... i don't have the idea i'm looking at a "how to make it" video... but at a "stop motion" video. I like! :D You.... are.... awesome!
I have thoroughly enjoyed the videos of yours I have watched. I just started watching tonight while on a random video spree! I find it so interesting that to solve a problem, instead of just looking for a pre-made solution, you make it yourself or try to puzzle it out. I'm not such a logic based person, and for the first time in my entire life I feel like perhaps logic and the way I go about solving problems are both equally valid ways for the mind to function. It seems like in your free time and for fun you create and solve puzzles or fix problems you are facing by making an actual physical thing. I always make stories or music in my free time and it's interesting to see what someone else does with theirs. I don't know. I'm sure your videos aren't meant to give someone a look into your entire psyche, but I feel like we have such different ways of thinking and it's really refreshing to see how someone goes about finding solutions to various problems and seeing what someone finds interesting to do for fun. Also, since I have no luck with hands on sort of work, seeing you use the power tools so precisely to make such interesting puzzles or gadgets is very impressive to me. That's all. I'm probably just overthinking everything right now as it is two in the morning, but I just wanted to let you know how great and different your videos are.
Fawksthephoenix1 Glad you found some of these useful to watch! It is especially nice to know that I am getting people to question the way that they approach problems. I try to never solve the same problem the same way twice; it seems to me that the more solutions I have come to understand, the better chance I stand against a new problem ;)
So inspired by this video I had to make one! (two actually)! Your fixturing was easy to use & make. The only thing I did differently was to cut the 20 degree angle into a wood strip and then use it as a stop surface to slide pieces against with saw blade in the "fence". Made angle cuts VERY consistent. THANKS AGAIN!
John Heisz stole my word! I wanted to say 'captivating'. That's ruined my whole day now. There must be some sort of Nobel Prize for this. Best Wishes, Brendan.
This reminds me of video game development. You have to build a bunch of handy tools before you can effectively make the real, fun stuff! :D Pretty relaxing and entertaining video. Thanks for sharing...2 years ago :P
I know this will seem unrelated to puzzle building. But because of the math you have shown I can now figure out how to make a planter for the wife. Larger scale but same math. Just wanted to say thanks. you make it look easy.
Great video! Your safety violation was quite alright with me, as you were not using my fingers as a push stick! You do great work with both your projects and your videos, I'm going to use that drinking straw glue scraper trick tomorrow. Thanks.
Hello Pocket83. Just finished making all the parts, waiting for elastics. Your jig ideas are great, my only problem was the chop saw jig because I used 1/2 inch birch ply, instead of soft wood, I had major blow out. I think I'll try using a jig on the band saw next time. This was a great learning project, and I love your videos.
Did you have a zero-clearance setup? A jig like this assumes that the part can't go behind the blade after it is free. Also, a new blade is preferred, and go slow. And even more insurance: you could make a second "finger" that holds the piece to the back fence. A bandsaw will work for you, but it won't be as pretty. Good luck.
Thanks! I was pretty sure that you'd like this one. You gotta make one- it's pretty fun to fidget with. I should be releasing the assembly video Friday or Saturday, but it will be a spoiler.
pocket83 2 hexagons between each pair of pentagons. I think I'd be able to assemble it. It sure does look awesome though. I know it's a 'soccer ball' but, is this your own design? The way you made it is very clever.
Steve French It started off as kind of a gag (just holding a dome together with bands), but I kept thinking of ways to make improvements. I've created other dome concepts in the past, so it wasn't much of a leap. There are other similar things out there, I'm sure, but the cuts/rubber-band concept was entirely mine. I'm particularly proud of the way I routed the bands ;) The whole idea came about from my search to find a construction method that was adjustable for domes of various frequency (the amount of struts it has). Connect the centers of the hex and pent shapes to their vertices, and it generates triangles. The more triangles, the closer approximation to spherical. The intention was to be able to make this thing even bigger. Anyhow, the "building block medley" was a vestige of the pursuit; the tinker-toy hubs were created to build a PEX geodesic tent-fort for my niece and nephew.
Thanks pocket83 for recommending and watching this, very satisfying, I hope that one day I will have all the right equipment to start learning wood work. I really enjoy watching and reading about it but just need to start investing in some proper tools. If you have any recommendations on where I can start, please let me know. Thank you again for a great video, your craftsman ship is very good! Not sure why there are so many haters leaving stupid comments on your video, I'd block them and delete them LOL! My theory is if you don't like someone that someone is doing simply don't watch it. I will keep watching your videos though as I feel I will gain some knowledge from them.
When ripping the boards at 1:16 why are some ran straight through and others are cut twice by flipping them? PS; The precision work was really impressive. Thanks
fdc313 It doesn't matter. If I'm moving quickly, it's whichever method I am comfortable with at the moment. If you lack experience, stick to either one or the other to avoid becoming confused.
fdc313 Not that I have experience with wood cutting but I would recommend you flipping it if you want to work more safely as you don't even get near to the saw blade.
Hoch134 Only if you're using a 7.25" blade; this technique is easy to control with the smaller blade. That's why so many people here are angry about it being dangerous- those people are mostly likely only experienced with using a ten-inch blade (or larger). Larger blades expose more surface area for a cut of the same thickness, which can provide significantly more leverage for "kickback," and other types of (undesirable) binding conditions. They are just less forgiving. In my opinion, a 7.25" should come in a saw out of the box: Then there would be less need for over-the-top safety measures.
pocket83 I guess you're right, but most people (especially non-professionals) saw a lot of wood with different thicknesses. I think, that's why the industry tries to sell bigger blades as people would buy the the saw with the biggest blade anyways, fearing that a smaller one wouldn't do their work properly. My thought on this was, that there is still a part of the blade standing out - even a small cut would be preventable with flipping the blade over, or am I wrong here?
Hoch134 I'm not exactly sure what you are getting at, but in an a nutshell, this is my advice: use the flip technique on long stuff (for example, 2x4). Like you said, then you don't have to get your fingers anywhere near it.
theres a certain second in this video where a certain image is displayed where a certain question i want to ask is brought up....why implement them into your vids? i have watched a couple now and confused
I don't know what you're talking about. Probably just the website having issues, or else it's your ISP. So I would just try to ignore it. Try restarting your modem.
Idk what you're talking about. Why would anyone pop an image up on a screen for less than a blink of an eye? What would be the point of that? I'd like to stick around and talk about the his more, but I'm suddenly in the mood for some McDonnalds French fries.
I haven't seen next video but number of bands is easy because the number of pentagon's is 12 and I noticed that no rubber bands went through pentagons so that means a side of a pentagon's is connected to another side of a different pentagon's through 2(I noticed) hexagons if there's 12 pentagon's and 5 sides on each which is 60 and a side is connected to another side (÷2) there were 30 rubber bands
parabéns gostei muito desse vídeo bem explicativo eu vamos fazer bastante em você agora só faltou uma coisa na explicação final faltou dizer que n é igual ao número de lados
I've built, designed, solved, studied, dissected, analyzed, and obsessed over dozens and dozens and dozens of puzzles and other similar geometric constructions- and that doesn't make me an authority. But trust me when I say that you don't want to argue semantics with me. Just read the last paragraph in the description.
+pocket83² You can't just broaden your definition of puzzle to satisfy to your mind that it is a puzzle. Your last paragraph is a philosophic diatribe that doesn't even make sense. 'All of life is a puzzle' What? Decision making does not equal puzzle.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puzzle Yes, I can. Better to have a more inclusive definition of so subjective a term than one that rejects particulars on the basis of a single person's intuition. The term is a metaphor for a larger idea, schema, or concept relating to puzzle-solving; this is not something that we can easily nail down without, as you have so capably demonstrated, disagreement. Your exclusionary approach to restricting so broad a category shows an obstinate refusal to look outside of your own perceptual sphere, and further, it wastes my time with minutia. You understood my point (the idea I was trying to express), and my generalized usage of the term- unless you are completely stupid. It is a puzzle, and it's a smart one at that. You want to quibble over definitional details, because you are small, but I see no original works of "non-puzzles," or other feats of engineering acumen on your channel.
I love the flip cut technique! SAFETY ALERT, not a worry, due to the blade angle going out. Very little risk of pull back, and the fingers are far enough away. An experienced person would have no issues. An inexperienced one may be missing digits. Oh well, how else are they gunna learn?
That is fantastic and I want to build it just because it would be a fun puzzle. However, I'm looking to build something like this but I would want it to stay together permanently. Anyone have any ideas/opinions on how to build something very like this but would be permanent? Thanks!
The labor of jigs and time you put into this video is appreciated. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Of course! Thanks Peter. I think the jigs save time in the long run. I made two of these puzzles, so lots of repetition. And that miter saw thing @ 6:16 was sweet. I still can't think of a better way to cut those things;)
I'm sixteen years old, I'm from Australia, and I think you are one of the most fantastic content producers I've ever witnessed. The ingenuity that you show will never cease to amaze me. You have fans down here in Australia too, pocket83.
Captivating! Awesomely awesome results for the project and the video had certain elements that were quite engaging and vaguely familiar!
Hehe. The 'pusher' _should_ be vaguely familiar. I'd recommend that push-stick to anyone. Thanks John.

i solved you code in other video
Awesome video! I liked the on paper instructions rather than narration, that was well suited to the technical details. Really nice camera angles as well. Easy subscription from me.
Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to stop by- I have enjoyed much of your content.
Heard the phrase red herring before but never took the time to look into it. Learned something new today. The video was amazing
I like your videos and they show much individuality and genius. As [professional wood workers it is important to demonstrate safety and the importance of keeping it a constant practice in our shop. When I am asked about safety I sometimes respond that using power tools is like juggling, "beginners juggle tennis balls, professionals juggle chain saws". However this is definitely not an excuse to be careless. Keep up the good work and all of your fingers!!!!
Absolutely brilliant. That has taken lots of patience, dedication and attention to detail, and its a work of art. Well done!
Thank you Pocket83 for a very nice and instructive video.

About half way through I was wondering why the hell I was watching this. I'm glad I stuck with it. The craftsmanship is amazing!! You definitely have a new subscriber!
All of your woodworking and handy talents (which are no doubt impressive) aside, you are a wonderful filmmaker. I love the style. Great work!
I don't know what impresses me more, the finished work or the jigs you make along the way. Superb stuff
i find myself really late at night mesmerized and calmed down by these videos, this is like therapy xD
Just wanted to say thanks for your videos. Just found this channel and I love your show, don't tell approach. Found some great ideas already. You've got a pretty cool woodworking with a mathematical bent kind of thing going on. And your sense of humor in the videos/comments is just icing on the cake.
Keep up the good work.
I had 0 interest in timber work but this entire video just mesmerised me. Keep this stuff up! You've earnt a sub.
Great! I have another thing like this to release later in the year, but check some of my older vids until then. I have hundreds of vids, another channel, and much hidden content. Thanks ;)
your videos are getting better and better
After building a tetrahedron last year I wanted to make one of these. Now I know how. Thx. Will be trying this out in the near future
outstanding jig for the miter saw. hell of a job
A video not like any other i have seen.... i don't have the idea i'm looking at a "how to make it" video... but at a "stop motion" video. I like! :D You.... are.... awesome!
That safety infraction tho. Here's a comment.
yea, oommgg why does he do this??? that is how you get finger cancer!!!!!
its not funny he does it for money
Dang man, this was one of your most thrilling projects yet. It killed me to see you squish it.

Nicely done! Thanks for letting me know. It's also nice to hear that the jigs weren't too tough to make. I hope it was satisfying to assemble!
Your work is amazing. I was on my toes the entire video, just watching in complete awe. The way you work is sublime.
Loved it man.
I love the creative jigs you made for this - terrific video!
That is very cool! I'm amazed at how many uses you are finding for rubber bands!! Definitely going to try making this myself. Thanks!
Thank you for putting so much effort into your videos, they're fascinating.
Genius. Looks great, like the jigs. The straw for making glue fillets was a good idea too, I will use that sometime.
I'll bet you're one hell of a carpenter.
Love the use of that straw! Gonna have to try that, great video!
I love those videos ....so calm, relaxing, instructing and profesionals
Why do people dislike this? He did some hard work!!!!!
I love to see woodworking with brains. :)
Amazing. I've never seen 30 rubber bands put to such an impressive purpose.
Wow. That had me completely captivated. That was great.
that was very calming to watch. thx.
Glad you enjoyed ;)
John Heisz stole my word! I wanted to say 'captivating'. That's ruined my whole day now. There must be some sort of Nobel Prize for this.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
Yuuuus! The last shot was so satisfying.
I loved watching this. Now back to what I was supposed to be doing.
Truly a work of art! :)
Thank you.
Really cool! I'm going to try building one. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice! Fascinating, ...I'm going to make a few of these to sell in my shop...we'll see how that goes. Love your siren alert!
This reminds me of video game development. You have to build a bunch of handy tools before you can effectively make the real, fun stuff! :D
Pretty relaxing and entertaining video. Thanks for sharing...2 years ago :P
Captivating to watch with great (and humorous) cinematography. :)
At 4:15 were you using a piece of broccoli?
Ferrous Devree XD
+Ferrous Devree I didnt watched that until i read your comment XD
You can see it partly in the video at around that time. Not enough to tell you what it is, but enough to be sure it isn't broccoli
+theminerofskulls it is a broccoli colored cloth
Very satisfying, brilliant video.
Congratulations for the love that you put on your work, it's beautiful and spiring!
Mighty impressive piece of work, there.
Coolest thing I've ever seen in my life!
Everything you do is so efficient and precise and it makes me feel safe hahahaha
Wow, just wow. That was an awesome video! Great job!
i just love that you make your tools too!
even just looking at you cutting wood is fun :-)
I know this will seem unrelated to puzzle building. But because of the math you have shown I can now figure out how to make a planter for the wife. Larger scale but same math. Just wanted to say thanks. you make it look easy.
Another very nice video. I like how you sneak in good shop tips too.
At about 3 minutes plus I LOL. Good stuff
beautiful craftsmanship, much respect
Wow, this is stunning :) I love the theme of woodworking and maths. And amazing "jigmanship" too!
Great video! Your safety violation was quite alright with me, as you were not using my fingers as a push stick! You do great work with both your projects and your videos, I'm going to use that drinking straw glue scraper trick tomorrow. Thanks.
All I can say is wow!
Red Spaniard That's one of the nicest things you could say. Thanks!
+pocket83 here you asked for it comment o_O
All I can say is "Shamwow!"
Nice clean work as always. neat work!
You have real talent
holy crap this is cool. totally plan on building one of these at some point, if i ever gain the discipline...
Hello Pocket83. Just finished making all the parts, waiting for elastics. Your jig ideas are great, my only problem was the chop saw jig because I used 1/2 inch birch ply, instead of soft wood, I had major blow out. I think I'll try using a jig on the band saw next time.

Very interesting! So fun to watch.
Almost gave me a cardiac arrest when I saw you breaking it at the end. Great work, I mean, before breaking it!
You are very talented!!!
What you do is awesome, you are an inspiration for me!
Entertaining as usual!!! And great Editing BTW. Keep up the works!
I find this video to be very informative, thank you for sharing your work.
Amazing as usual! I'm always waiting to see your videos! Keep them coming :)
Not just interesting but absolutely interesting!
Love it!
Not just interesting, but absolutely not interesting. It's okay
Awesome build
Great! My son loved it! Wonderfull!
Maravilhoso! Excelente artista! Saudações do Brasil!!!
Very cool design! I don't have access to woodworking equipment so I made 3D printable version based (roughly) on your specs.
damn.. i can watch you work all day long
so like.. when you taped the pieces together before gluing them.. I definitely thought of a Kit Kat
WONDERFUL, YOUR WORK IS PRECIOUS, THANKS.
Dang that must of taken you a long time. Nice work!
Very, very creative. Nice work!
Man, these videos are excellent!
Brilliant, Sir! Brilliant! Awesome project and video. My kind of awesome!

You make some awesome stuff, really enjoying your videos. Thx
i do kinda enjoy watching this kind of video as i love watching The New Yankee Workshop
Really loved this video.
Seeing how its done it's inspiring.
Work of art.
Sad to see it get squashed at the end.
But great stuff !
theres a certain second in this video where a certain image is displayed where a certain question i want to ask is brought up....why implement them into your vids? i have watched a couple now and confused
I don't know what you're talking about. Probably just the website having issues, or else it's your ISP. So I would just try to ignore it. Try restarting your modem.
lmao gotcha
theres a certain word in your question where a certain letter is seen where uncertainty arises... Why use this letter in your comment
Idk what you're talking about. Why would anyone pop an image up on a screen for less than a blink of an eye? What would be the point of that? I'd like to stick around and talk about the his more, but I'm suddenly in the mood for some McDonnalds French fries.

Cool idea, not so much a puzzle but would be fun to mess around with!
This most certainly _is_ a puzzle! I really had to scratch my head to learn how to assemble it. Perhaps it was easy for you to solve, when you did it?
+pocket83 Its just a pattern of pieces with no piece having to go in a particular spot.
I've built, designed, solved, studied, dissected, analyzed, and obsessed over dozens and dozens and dozens of puzzles and other similar geometric constructions- and that doesn't make me an authority.
