A Good Rocking Switch - Rolling Ball Sculpture - Story 77

[@ridethroughlifertl]

I just found your channel and enjoy the videos, but if you could lower the volume of music while you're speaking, it would be easier to understand. It's probably just me, but I have a hard time focusing when there are layers of sounds like that. If not, I'll just keep watching.

Thanks. Noted. A few people say this and I'm trying to get this issue better.

(Agree; same here) Moreover, your videos most certainly don’t need any ‘garnishing’ whatsoever; an absolutely joy to watch and listen! Thank you

Hi Ian Well done on having fun with the rolling ball sculptures. I'm just zapping through some of the KZbin videos to see what's out there so I haven't heard everything that you have said or seen everything that you have done. I do like the look of the ball race mechanism that you are using, for the ball lift, very special but I've got to tell you Ian, every time I see you using a disk cutter to slice the end off a bolt or drilling into some wood next to the bearing opening I worry that you are going to get some rubbish/swarf/sawdust, in that beautiful race with its many tiny bearings. I don't know about you, but I don't think that I have ever successfully managed to get a large bearing free of filings once they get in. Anyway, I hope it stays clear for you and that you have a shedload of fun designing the rest of the sculpture. All the very best and kind regards to you. . . . Andy

Hi Andy. Yes it’s a little concerning to watch I admit. Luckily this style of bearing was delivered with zero oil or grease around the balls. So any dust or muck that gets in the from me, is easily to get out with a blast of air and a quick spin and shake. Thanks for the comment and hope you enjoy the rest of my videos. 🙏

At 7:00; I thought that was for something else, like a track switch for the pathway split option. Pardon my thinking pinball machine logic at times. . These days the pinball company can update the game rules and now the ball needs to be aimed differently. .

[@CopperGravity]

I wonder if anyone has made a rolling ball / pinball hybrid machine. Hmmm 🤔

[@webmonkees]

give me time. I have a few ideas. and a arcade cabinet; see 'Addams Farmily Values redemption'. It's a coin drop game. for now.@@CopperGravity

I've been working with a 90s coin drop machine from a pinball company, uses coins at the moment, but it's slowly gaining experimental magnets and brackets. Studying your series.. @@CopperGravity

[@webmonkees]

I'm working with an arcade coin drop machine, comes apart for maintenance, I'm still working out how to play a pinball-like game at that angle. Lots of working out simulations in the sandbox mode of Poly Bridge 3. @@CopperGravity

I love your music choices. Your nice calm voice and banging music are so enjoyable. I wish I could afford one of your sculptures. Thanks for the videos.
