Your tutorials are invaluable. I've bought both your books off the back of them, and it's Uber helpful to have written as well as visual instructions. Fulfilling a life long ambition that is creating my own pop up books for wee family members (but mostly myself!) that I write, illustrate then paper engineer into life. Thank you 😊
Now that I've got your book I'm working through your videos and the instructions in the book. This mechanism should definitely be included in the next version of the book!
This upcoming weekend, I'm binge watching (for the second time!) prior tutorials!

Mr Duncan , please consider make a video showing one by one those nice books ( pop-up ) you own and speaking about how they work !!! maybe make a weekly series, thank you
Thank you for the suggestion - I think it's a really good idea. I might try and include it in the next series. Making the videos isn't very easy as Jane (the film maker) lives in a different town from me and setting everything up is a bit complicated so we've just been getting together once a year to make these videos. I'll talk to her about it and maybe we'll follow your suggestion in the next series.

thanks for sharing, your videos are a great inspiration.
Hello dear teacher Duncan, thanks for writing to me again! 😊 I really enjoy your newest videos as much as I enjoy ALL your videos, you still motivate and inspire me and take things in perfect timing! I have finally mastered the simplest pull tabs now for my project, but the double flap- pull tab (when two windows are opening in two different directions as you pull) are still tricky to understand. So I will include them in next projects. I told my mum about your channel and she is supportive of my project even if I get performance anxiety almost everyday, but I will try to lower my expectations a bit and practise the basics. I'm going to make a beautiful card to my dance teacher and I've been putting it off for months because I'm afraid she will think that it looks too childish and that the true message will not be received... 😕 *Thank you and have a great week teacher Duncan!* P.S I will be telling more people about your amazing channel.
Hi Rosie,Yes the double flap pull-tab is a bit difficult. Probably the best approach is to start by making the most difficult flap, the one that lifts away from the direction the tab is being pulled (That is the one with the strip running behind the page and the flap going down through the slot.). When you've got that flap working nicely then you can build the other one on to fit in with it.A card for your dance teacher, sounds good. In my experience people always really appreciate a hand made card (even when it's not even a pop-up). If that hand made card is actually a pop-up I think people are almost always so amazed that they never dream of judging it as childish! So have fun, play with your ideas, I'm sure he true message to your dance teacher will be fully appreciated.
Thank you very much Mr.Duncan for your tutorials.. I learnt a lot and really enjoy every video.. I'm also happy that I'm beginning to understand the pop-up process and even make my own dimensions and design! Thank you! I tried this card, but didn't work with me very well.. I thought maybe we should take the dimension of the side right under the arm to be lifted (mine was 9cm), rather than the spine (10.5cm) and following your instructions that you taught us to make the balance, I recalculated it to be: 9+2.8=11.8.. so I made the other 10.3 +1.5 =11.8 .. and then added tabs at each end.. I tried it and yes, it WORKED!! really made me very happy.. THANK YOU again very much:)
Great Scott...what hast thou fashioned in this perfectly timed movie? Awesome, Very good! Me Like Valentines Day every Day^!!^ Okay, I was freakin' out on Origami & Now eYebee- fixin' to Flip out on Pop-up Art! Thanks to you:) This is Great^!!^
And I saw a Butterfly turn into a Special Book. I saw it! It was singing a song I Like! It's kinda like Space Truckin' but different! L@@K ua-cam.com/video/1p8ZnJ7x-6Y/v-deo.html
At around 6:36 you mention that because the support piece is buckling, you probably should have made it four thicknesses instead of just two. Can't it also buckle if the angle just isn't quite right? (Only asking because I've just watched a Matthew Reinhart video where it's somewhat similar and he suggests having to play around with angles to avoid that.) I can't find this in your book, BTW. Am I somehow just missing it? Very much still loving all your vids and book!
Matthew Reinhart's the master! So yes, try playing around with the angles, and/or make the piece four thicknesses. No, this isn't in the book - it's one of the more advanced mechanisms that will appear in the planned book on complex mechanisms (if I ever get round to writing it!).
@@thepop-upchannel4919 Thanks, as usual, for your quick reply. I do hope you write an advanced book, but I know it's a lot of work. Or even another video more in-depth about how you came up with the math(s) you did for this one and just about extenders like this in general. (E.g., MR was lifting a v-fold extension with two mirrored supports, basically made into their own v-fold, whereas you're only lifting one side so only need one support. I'd love to see you lift both sides, but I suppose two supports wouldn't necessarily have to be put together as a v-fold.) And that "Big Bang Pop" book by Ug that you reference: I've only found it in French. I did study French at Uni, but curious if that's the one you have?
I find the whole subject of pop-up extenders interesting, intriguing, and difficult! I don't actually have a clever mathematical formula - I mostly work these things out with a combination of: measuring examples I've found in books - applying the priciples of asymmetric parallel folds - experimentation. I have been trying to plan a tutorial on ultra tall extensions - but I've had a lot of trouble. Hopefully I'll be filming it in late August - in the meantime there is a new series in the works, Jane is editing it at the moment and it's possible we can put it on line in the next couple of weeks. My copy of the Big Bang book is in French - I think most of Philippe Ug's pop-up books are only published in French - I really like his work, a lot of the pop-up isn't very sophisticated but he creates beautiful effects with his use of shape and colour.
@@thepop-upchannel4919 Thanks for your thorough reply. Can't wait for the new series! You and Jane do such a great job on your videos. I will continue experimenting with extenders.
Any wobbly movement is probably due to the flimsiness of the card. If all the pieces were rigid enough I don't think there would be any movement. So if necessary all the strips could be made double or triple thickness.
I'm sorry to hear that you're having troublr with this. I've checked - it is 67 degrees - definitely more than 45 and 30 degrees is much less than 45. Probably best to check your measurements.
My God!!! And for all the Gods of the Olimpo; I using junk cards,or I’ ll be ruined in a very short time, I am struggling with the M fold. My paper bin it’s full of failures.😅
Bonjour je suis vos tuto mais tres tres difficilement en effet je ne connais que le francais. J admire votre savoir faire . Avez vous publié en francais . .
Il existe une édition française du livre - Pop up pas à pas (Français) Broché - 14 mai 2014 -, Il est disponible sur Amazon. Mais n'est plus disponible nouveau - donc je pense que les copies d'occasion peuvent coûter cher.

I'm delighted!
Wow . another amazing tutorials . thank you so much 😍 . i will make it .
Great!
i struggled to follow this one :( I wish you would go through how to measure the stuff more and create the actual pieces that need to be glued down
Did you ever figure it out?
@@sandrasmolinsky1928 Apparently not 😂

thank you very much! you are the best!
very useful, thank you so much!
I like this !
sir your book is awesome thank you
Excellent!
Waw amazing
Due to the length of the assymetric strip pushing the strip, this will never be completely still, am I right?
Any wobbly movement is probably due to the flimsiness of the card. If all the pieces were rigid enough I don't think there would be any movement. So if necessary all the strips could be made double or triple thickness.
@@thepop-upchannel4919 Perfect! Will try with thicker paper. Thanks for the answer.
I am so confused with the angles, you said it is 67 degrees but it looks 30,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having troublr with this. I've checked - it is 67 degrees - definitely more than 45 and 30 degrees is much less than 45. Probably best to check your measurements.
amazing
Sir please do more of tutorials...
I mean more of new techniques...
thanks
My God!!! And for all the Gods of the Olimpo; I using junk cards,or I’ ll be ruined in a very short time, I am struggling with the M fold. My paper bin it’s full of failures.😅
Keep trying! I'm sure you'll get there in the end.
