The Split Flap - UNUSUAL

[@OatFoundry]

Yo Chris! Super fun project, glad we could link up for it. Enjoy the Split Flap!

[@ChrisRamsay52]

[@southernsoul152]

Absolutely beautiful 🤩 it’s truly something special to see what was once almost reserved for “history” made new ...and better.

[@yorgle]

Any chance we can buy these ourselves? Like just a module or two or something like that... for experimenters. I'd even be fine with assembling one myself. Also, it'd be fun to have a flip-display with all of the options for a 7-segment display... kind of a mixed-up technology kind of thing. ;D

[@maggiemarano7814]

This has gotta be one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen

[@HiplessDoesIt]

*Does it have a timer function?* Perfect for the puzzle solving videos! 🙌

[@NelsonDellis]

So dope. Would be sick to do a memory demonstration with numbers on one of these things!

[@OatFoundry]

Lets make it happen

[@aronhegedus]

I first found the split flaps on Nelson's channel, then I went on a rabbit hole for more videos... Finally came full circle with this comment

[@Mfseat]

Chris is the child who saw everything as amazing and never grew up. keep at it bud

Ngl I think a good card is a little more satisfying your new split flap 👀

[@dan00017]

Yo! I’ve noticed the vibe of your videos has been taken to the next level....I’m loving it, man. Well done to you and the crew!

[@locke2517]

Yalls camera work and editing is straight up better than most most television shows.

[@Sarcasticallyinspired]

The waiting for the flapping to reveal the message is what makes those things unique! Awesome gadgetry type thing

[@nokomisjeff]

Back in the old days, they had those at the Chicago Board of Trade to display commodity prices. I always liked the sound but the best sounds come from the Trans Lux Jets, the manual scrolling devices.

[@bsw051]

So glad to see hot dang evolve instead of disappear. Super satisfying sound as well. You one upped the that was easy button.

[@CoLD.SToRAGE]

I’ve always loved those displays!

[@DanielHuckins]

this is amazing!! so great of you to support them Chris!!

[@antonrnik]

nice

[@diejps]

My friend has a hat with that on it. I wanna get one

[@theshevanel]

“That’s what.” _she said._

[@leewilder2896]

Thought it was going to be some kind of card shuffling technique from the title... had to set my phone down after tapping the notification, and the first few seconds didn't sound like it *wasn't*... and then - At thirty-one - Today years old - I FINALLY KNOW WHAT THIS KIND OF DISPLAY BOARD IS CALLED. Thank you! Seriously though, I showed up here for the puzzle solving vids, but I subscribed for that earnest isn't-the-world-just-AWESOME?! attitude you've got.

[@Buick8DT69]

When I was a teenager I found an old split flap clock radio in the trash and I had to take it home. This would have been around 1985 or so, and it was old even by then. The radio worked, but the clock wouldn't go. I pulled the back off of it and looked inside. There was a metal "wheel" about half and inch wide sitting next to the clock numbers mechanism and myh instinct was to just give it a flick with my finger. I did that, and the clock started working, and it worked for at least the next several years without stopping. I left for the Air Force a couple years later and it stayed at my parents' place. Don't know what ever happened to it, but I wish I still had it. It was very satisfying to watch.

[@darter9000]

In old Gimpo airport in the 90s when I traveled with my parents, I would sit, mesmerized by a giant arrivals board as it goes clackity clack as it updates flight statuses and wait for that rush of clacks as it clears flight statues that aren’t relevant anymore and shift all the entries up to make room for more flights.

[@Stormb1essed]

Chris sitting under the “Hot dang” sign smiling like a little kid is my favorite frame 😂

[@juliavioletl]

I want one! I would definitely annoy the crap out of everyone that comes over and only answer them using the split flap!

[@MDoddio]

I miss the spit flap board at 30th Street Station! I lived in Philadelphia for 13 years before I moved to DC

[@MaulanaFarisS]

All legit stuff show in here. Love it man! ..

[@nikovalerio3484]

A bar in San Diego had a flap board and it was the thing to catch my eye from the street

[@nikovalerio3484]

Knowing Chris took time to like this comment. Absolutely a legend

[@maybenotsogoodanidea1070]

Reminded me so much of the Balvenie series Raw Craft, by the late Anthony Bourdain, that I really loved. The presentation, the voice and even the subject matter sounded so much the same. Very good job.

[@christopherwise7067]

I like the flip flap display.

[@aaronpaulkramer]

I totally need one of these in my life....I’ve always loved these in train stations (at least the ones that still have them)

[@NeverMetTheGuy]

Leave it to a room full of bored engineers to start a company and invent a parachute sausage cannon.

[@lokithecat7225]

Build is probably more accurate than "Invent" as air cannons have been around for ages, and there was 0 original about that.

[@MrFunkydunk]

I'm officially obsessed with your channel brother . Cant fault it...keep up the great content. Love all the way from a wet dark cold Scotland ...your vids make a dark day a bit brighter ✌

[@KING_OF_FARTS]

I'm from just outside Philly & I was wondering where the Eagles got those analog boards since I've seen them a few years ago. That's awesome, glad the birds have the oat foundry on their side.

[@OatFoundry]

🙏

[@karolliammikaelbuenaflor8367]

Wow it's so satisfying just by listening and looking at it

[@simonbrown6903]

Great design! Really unique in a round about way. Love what they've created there for you, lots of fun, retro, and very satisfying! 🥰

[@coryhouser6201]

Some old school game shows used the split flaps...love the effect. This is an awesome addition!

[@coloringwithd]

I had a split flap clock growing up, the clicks were calming. Thanks for sharing ♥♥♥

[@LeclericShow]

I love this so much!!! I’m coming over to play with it! What’s the address?

[@benwalls3304]

someone needs to re program that button. to start and stop his timers. lol . Pumpkin spiced latte on the ground

[@feenyx6394]

Love this thing, the noise it makes is extremely satisfying!

[@gutzi_muc8396]

YES!!! Another UNUSUAL! I love them

[@hatsmacer3340]

Real Cool, I would like to learn more about Oat factory, I love science and math.

[@diogogomes3897]

The button is super cool!!!! :0

[@ldamoff]

I wish this vid had come out before I sent my Christmas list to Santa!

[@ZakLeek]

Wow! This is so cool, I'd love to make something like this! That puzzle button is socio, I cant wait to see it feature in your upcoming videos! Thank you so much Chris!

[@Alexdiscofunk]

Tbh I love this series of unusual things. Glad its back

[@dilley_esq]

Incredible. Chris is living the dream. 👍🏼

[@IntoTheLabyrinth]

It's funny when Chris is justifying his splurging. Hahaha. The split flap board suits you, really. It's you. Great addition to the studio. (I suddenly want one, I don't need one tho haha)

[@MVN-b8l]

Unusual is your best series 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@SChappellaz]

I remember an art installation where the split flap stayed still until someone walked past and then a sensor would trigger a message to appear. The messages were quotes and sayings from the artist’s home country.

[@ThePiitteri]

I've always wanted one. That's so creative

[@slowburner1]

The cascading is mesmerizing.

[@andkucz1352]

The narration you did in the beginning really screamed to me that you should do that a lot more! Your VOSOT ability sounds great (VOSOT is a journalism term called voice over sound on tape, which is what you do to narrate).

[@USMC-dr5wc]

Chris this is cool. You know what would be bad ass doing all of your card deck designs on one board of 54 flaps, so each flap change would be a card from that deck.

[@THEUNSEENREPORT]

I WANT ONE!!! LOVE IT and brings back memories of train stations when I was a kid. Can Oat Foundry product mini versions?

[@7theshuffler729]

That’s so awesome!! Your content is the best!!

[@LazyeyeGreg]

Shoutout Oat Foundry and them Drexel dudes, great guys.

[@OatFoundry]

Thanks Lazy Eye Greg!

[@1_Hit_Gaming]

Yo Chris, really loved this video. Definitely wouldn't mind seeing more of them in the future. Keep it up Brother

[@riderbackoriginals5265]

I’m watching this video on shrooms right now but I haven’t made it past the 25 second mark and it’s been at least 30 minutes now. This is what happiness is. I wish I could like this video a million times. 👽

[@OatFoundry]

Sounds like you should try the Yule Log

[@tinamitchell791]

This robot develope emotion

[@Jasta315]

Along similar nastolgic lines. I've always wanted a nixi tube clock!

[@GaryCunninghamyouareenough]

Great purchase. Who knew a Split Flap could be both fun and cool 🤟

[@phoenixtwo87]

Would love to see Oat Foundry expand this into the consumer market with smaller versions totally want one of these now!

[@faefolkarts]

when you said they're made from scratch my jaw dropped

[@jacobtrindade6728]

Loved this video! Can´t wait for the mystery decks umboxing video!!! Also, when are we getting a 2020 top 5 playing cards video?!! I recently rewatched the 2018 edition and I realised it´s probably one of my favourite videos on your channel in terms of video production and creativity!!!

[@mincemeatmouse269]

Yoooo chris just got a new timer guys.

[@ry5267]

Thats sweet...like really sweet. Glad to see another unusual vid. Should get another for for secret escape room so you can give clues an such. Love the channel chris

[@camiloiribarren1450]

Hahah this is awesome! The split flap is so cool. Chris gets the coolest toys

[@BillBigsB]

I love these unusual videos.

[@seriozycie9149]

I remember those at the train station . .. memories . . .its a sound of summer vacation :)

[@gusteg83]

that's so cool. Love all about it and they.

[@georgejones3526]

A field of bamboo being harvested in Minecraft is the most satisfying sound for me.

[@JustinBMcBride]

So rad, I've always wanted one of those!

[@fatboypenguin1]

Always wanted one of these

[@Sail0rMvrs]

I feel like your excitement about this is the equivalent to a kid in a candy shop.

[@bansheerabane]

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE. That's so sick. I would consider only communicating via the board. I'm also an introverted hermit.... Anyway, that's pretty dang cool. GG! ALSO, EPIC BUTTON! Definite business write-off there.

[@giig697]

Oh...we needed more Hot Dang. What a delivery!! NOICE!

[@calvinclayton3464]

This NEEDS to go trending. If it doesn't though, it's trending in my heart. Again, great video Chris. Thanks.

[@Mr-Zapz]

Super cool signage! Haha I thought it was going to be about some new kind of flap card with a split face lol. This is so much better.

[@TMTwister]

Awesome! I can see how much fun you can have with that 😁

[@Stuka01210]

You should totally use this as your stop watch!

[@nathanmays7926]

i hope he uses it as the timer for puzzle solves

[@nicolascarrasco9358]

love the new toy! always the dopest toys!

[@tracybowling97]

Pretty cool. Always one of my fav thing ever. Didn't know the name of it until now.

[@jeremiahloomis9974]

Absolutely awesome addition to the office! Loved the thats what she said

[@joshephraim2592]

Chris!! You should do like Easter Eggs in your videos. Idk put some clues in there or a quote or words. And in like 3,4 videos we have to decode a message. Put it in random times of the video so you know the true OG’s who watch the entire video!! Hope you see this message. Love ya brotha

[@DadBodDrumming]

that is bad ass! I want one.

[@sapelesteve]

That's really freaking AWESOME Chris! 👍👍😉😉👏👏👍👍

Yessss!! Philly!!!!!! That’s my city!!!!!!!

[@BGBalaban215]

@@OatFoundry I wish I could afford a board. Those are freaking awesome!!!! Plus, it is even better that you guys are located in my city! Amazing! I had no idea you guys existed and I didn’t even know they took that thing down at 30th street. I guess it has been a while since I took the train down there. But anyways, SO COOL! Maybe one day I could get one..... lol

[@OatFoundry]

​@@BGBalaban215 before COVID we did a few popups in the city so people can enjoy a Split Flap in person. In the future, when things calm down, we may do more so stay tuned. Great to hear from others in Philly!

[@BGBalaban215]

@@OatFoundry will do! Thanks!!

[@benmurray7163]

Such a funny video - I really enjoyed this! And big respect for supporting the next gen of entrepreneurs.

[@thefrogman-ol1yp]

Dang that's looks super awesome!

[@INFLICTEDPAIN213]

That button is awesome for the puzzle solves but you gotta have the timer linked into that. I'm sure it's just a wiggle round some code but that would be such an awesome ability to slap the button at the start n finish off with that

[@donmetz134]

Chris that is freaking awesome 😎. I love watching you so much even. If things you buy are expensive you can justify anything. And I hope more people life this video so you can make your money back.

[@MagicianandtheJock]

Dude so freaking cool! One day!

[@EJFXxx]

Hot Dang ... Thats Cool !

[@jeffmaesar]

if the Split Flap could also display the time behind you when you solved the puzzles :) that would be quite awesome.

[@stej4314]

Lovely piece of kit. Keep living the dream 👍

[@krunkle5136]

So happy that a mechanical display is still used today.

[@jademills1966]

Dude you are so cool. I wait for your posts. Please keep the love going!

[@mitchblackmore5230]

I'd want that in my bedroom to just randomly flip every so often. The sound would be such an awesome 'sleeping pill'.
