Wood Turned Segmented Spheres

[@CheveeDodd]

Wow Frank. The editing on this video was superb!!!

[@PHIL_S]

Agree

[@theor.9219]

His woodworking is top tier, his video editing and scripting leagues ahead of many if not all KZbin channels. Always so informative and enjoyable to watch with his calming voice over. Or maybe it is Bonny, Calvin or Clair doing the scripting/editing:)

[@thesfreader3068]

Sure, it helps having two assistants ! (though when sanding, the narrating one should have a respirator too. that dust is bad news) ;PPP

[@Craftlngo]

I wonder what took longer. The wood turning or the editing of the video? Both works where insanely good

[@ianthompson6288]

Hoywood stuff

[@ForeverMasterless]

It's amazing how you keep stepping up your editing/production game. Between the 3D animations at the start and so smoothly inserting a second you into every scene I don't even wanna know how long this video took lol.

[@jimmyrk3]

And a third Frank inserted into a couple of scenes...

[@RFC-3514]

Plot twist: he actually has two twin brothers, and he'd been deleting them from previous videos.

[@ericwhite5655]

Yea his video production is just mind blowing. The appearance of a "live" narrator like that is amazing. I've never seen that before. I've seen split clones but narrating as he's doing the work is awesome

[@with_each_mile]

You could do the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac. They are often used in decorations during the Lunar New Year festival which is in late January next year.

[@thoperSought]

could be really cool

[@jacobdubail]

or 12 Astrology signs

[@GD-mw1kd]

Auctioning could fetch much better price for the art with the twelve zodiac signs 👍

[@werewolfkai]

along this same thought, since I'm not the first with it, the constellations of the zodiacs

[@bigburlymikesmswoodworking]

Your editing game on this video was absolutely superb. This might be your best work yet. Your knack for telling a story is hard to match. Great work as always, Frank.

[@dI0x0Ib]

with 12 pentagons, and 12x5 = 60 triangles, if you put the numbers 1-12 on the pentagons of one ball, and 0-59 on the triangles of another. So you could turn it into a clock -> 12 hours and 60 minutes :D Provided you had a super complicated mechanism to turn them

[@jkell42]

That is really creative idea using math!

[@corvus1238]

What a good idea and you know he is going to do it!

[@AaronJackson1]

This video was so well thought out and edited. The spheres turned out amazingly too!

[@bowboysam]

If you are looking for a 12, try screw head types, with a little bit of research you will find more than enough especially if you delve into security screws companies don’t want you to undo. With the different head types there are plenty to choose from.😁 I bought a set of screw bits once to undo most of them and there were way more than 12 types. Also if you made 6 of the pentagons out of resin, would it be possible to insert an LED light to make a Christmas ornament. All the best to ya😁😁

[@krismorris4282]

This is a fun idea!

[@frankmakes]

I like the screw types idea, simple graphics, out of the ordinary and on topic. I've been wondering how to use resin in this process.

[@VAM_Physics_and_Engineering]

I admire the amount of patience and time it must take you to make these videos. This was incredibly well done.

[@TheRandomSpectator]

I love seeing two Franks. I love how you always play with it a little two.

[@hogtownrich]

There were three Franks together at 15:49, if only for a second or two

[@Nerdule]

Y'know, the most common Set Of Twelve Symbolic Things would be the twelve signs of the Zodiac! Western or Chinese. Could make shaped inlays for each of them.

[@gavinplatt6096]

Watching you stand there and comment on your woodworking while you’re working in the same frame is so funny and I love it so much, I can tell how much you enjoy editing and care about your videos

[@AndreasBested]

I was impressed with initial animations but I love Red Shirt Frank popping up

[@MacMcNurgle]

I came for the woodworking and am amazed by the editing. Thank you.

[@homm3bonedragon242]

INCREDIBLE video as always Frank! May I suggest the 12 Labours of Heracles? Simple? Perhaps not. Epic? Definitely

[@RonaldWalters2010]

Great project. Very entertaining video. :-) Would love to know what you are using for an editing program. Ron

[@gregthorne4292]

I would love to see the 12 days of Christmas done for your yearly Christmas ornament.

[@brucegoatly]

As ever, Frank, I'm loving your designs and finish, as well as the superb production values. Some time, could you make a video of your editing process to give us lesser mortals some inspiration and encouragement? It looks as though there are green screen and background plates involved, but I'm blowed if I can see how you do some of the effects. And three Franks are extra value!

[@RossWrock]

12 numbers on a clock, the 12 days of Christmas, a dozen eggs, 12 donuts, or as you're approaching in this past video, 12 different Franks. You could do inlays of 12 silhouettes of yourself!

[@jonathan__g]

The video was fantastically edited Frank. I am happy to see you upping your production value with the 3D models. If you are looking for items to inlay maybe you can do 12 different tools you have around the shop?

[@dylenol]

I like the idea of the twelve zodiac signs-I wonder if there might be a way to make their positions on the sphere correspond to the positions of the associated constellations in the night sky.

[@RFC-3514]

Not unless you move the constellations. ;-)

[@Blahnik1182]

@@RFC-3514 They move themselves relatively well. :-)

[@RFC-3514]

@@Blahnik1182 - They've "moved" themselves about 30 degrees in 2000 years (or rather, we have). But they're all still along the ecliptic plane (i.e., around the "equator", relative to the solar system). They are not (and never were) distributed evenly across the surface of the celestial _sphere._

[@jamesogorman3287]

What an intro!

[@FMorison]

This video was awesome Frank. For the Christmas ornament I suggest you make the center of the pentagons a snowflake on the CNC machine, and then fill them with a translucent white epoxy. No chip out problem then.

[@cnp602]

you can also use semi transparent epoxy completely thru the wood and add lights.

[@camerondrew9402]

Does A/V Frank get the same salary as narrator Frank and fabricator Frank? He seems to be slacking a bit, but maybe he does the editing and other behind the scenes work. An org chart may be as helpful as the uniforms have been in pulling back the curtain on the whole operation...

[@mannyduds]

12 analog clocks, with the hour hand in a different position in each one 12 months, with designs representing seasons and holidays

[@jagoandlitefoot]

maybe the 12 signs of the zodiac (the western one or the chinese one) for the inlays on your next project?

[@tpottrell]

Love the editing :) Perhaps the 12 months and make it a calendar ball? :)

[@sharpbends]

Amazing production :-)

[@wandapiedra8973]

I have seen many videos on woodworking and woodturning but none as precise and calculated as yours. It is incredible how you use your math knowledge including geometry to create perfection in your pieces. Yet, you explain so well that it makes it easy for anyone to follow your instructions. You inspire others who are afraid to créate more complicated pieces to dare and try. Thank you for your ability to inspire and teach. 👍❤️

[@philbunting5963]

I love the editing in this video. The attention to small details like at 8:25 where red shirt Frank is out of focus in the background is fantastic.

[@sapelesteve]

I can tell that a ton of effort went into making those segmented spheres Frank! Good thing that there were three of you working on that project! Terrific videography as usual. 👍👍

[@Foodgeek]

Didn't know you had a twin brother!? 😂

[@SnowTheBard]

For a set of twelve you could always try the signs of the zodiac - could be interesting doing simplified versions of each sign!

[@DreitTheDarkDragon]

I'm just over one minute in video and....wow! When are you going to make Companion cube?

[@BoWSkittlez]

I’m so glad you teamed up with your twin Brother to work together on this, Frank! Family bonding is important

[@sgsax]

The continuing quest of the perfect dodecahedron sphere. I think this one comes pretty dang close. Really enjoyed the narration style here. Great project and great video. Thanks for sharing!

[@terryvanschalm1408]

Frank the video was great entertainment again, at the end of the video you asked about ideas for inlays, what about 12 world famous landmarks like Big Ben, Eiffel Tower, the sphinx, Statue of Liberty, Sydney Opera House ect.

[@waguchan2414]

I love the suggestions to use zodiac symbols. Maybe do Western zodiac symbols on one dow-deh-kuh-hee-druhn and Chinese zodiac animals on the other. 😀

[@Rsama60]

Now I am in a dillema. Do I watch Frank‘s videos for the woodworking projects or for the superior video editing.

[@andreamarletta6414]

Love the editing, but for me it's more red Frank than woodworking. I can't focus on what I used to love whatching. It's just my opinion, you did a great job as alway anyway

[@leosalomao]

Maaaan that editing!! Flawless! Loved it

[@harnesshouse]

Do you have a video production channel? Because I think showing the techniques you use in making the videos would be very interesting.

[@RyanBredemeyer]

Is black shirt blind? Why can’t he see red shirt? Or is he really just that rude? Or super shy? Are they friends? Poor black shirt, he’s probably really lonely. Maybe he’s angry that red shirt makes him do all the real work. I’d like to see red shirt pitch in a bit or at least reach out and build that bridge.

[@susancyta]

I think twelve pictures to represent the Nativity story will be cool, and it can be this year's Christmas ornament =D

[@maximillianzorn6085]

How about a calender sphere. Twelve months but then in each month use the same amount of layers as there are days in the month. But for February give half the shape 28 layers and half 29.

[@MurcuryEntertainment]

What about the 12 astrological signs? Each one has a simple but interesting symbol associated with it. You could even go a bit more abstract and use the constellations that they're based upon.

[@grannyflatgarage7599]

You could do the 12 star signs, maybe a walnut background with maple stars. No need to make them look realistic just have the actual star formations... With the triangles, it would be a pain but could you do a small back cut on each then finish the cut normally? So set it up pull the fence towards you, cut half an inch, then push it out of the blade, remove the workpiece, move the sled back, put the workpiece back on then finish the cut like normal? Like I said would be a pain but it should stop chipout.

[@ThePlymouth37]

I love the Multi-Frankenverse 😂, wonderful editing!

[@DmytroLutsenko]

I usually put the point that tends to chip away in front, not on the back. That way blade push it in, not out the main body and it stays in place. Not sure your sled allows you to flip whole setup, but... at least you might try.

[@pocket83squared]

The triangle tip problem might be a case of wanting to have your cake and eat it, too. Two triangle edges from one cut is a bit of an ideal. As we all know, wood-cutting operations typically assume a stationary part and a cut-off part. The latter is cast aside as a price paid to the improved quality of the former. It's no fun to admit this, but it's probably the case that a 'perfect' triangle requires a dedicated cut made for each perfect edge. One way or another, the tablesaw blade is going to vibrate & flex enough to knock out a tiny 60° tip from somewhere. Even IF both parts were secured, cyclical error is going to occasionally favor one of those fragile areas. If I were looking for a repeatably 'perfect' triangle procedure, I might try to accept that I'll have to push my error off to one side, and try using two jigs. Perhaps the first would establish one triangle's finished edge (as the featured sled has already done here), and then the second jig would be for making a refining cut to the cut-off. That said, my most perfect equilateral triangle patterns have also been realized by wood filler. Only the finished objects and I know the secret. Unless you share the fact with an audience, of course: then we all know how _we'd_ do it 'better.' The twelve things? Monkeys-no question. 12 Monkeys.

[@frankmakes]

I think you are probably right about the triangle tips. That is why I was heading in the direction of celebrating the wood filler so much that it becomes an inlay. I like the 12 monkeys idea

Excellent editing skills on display. You have a real knack for story telling. As well as wood working. Great combination. 👍

[@Ziraya0]

There's a way to make spherical dice that could be possible with your techniques (and CNC). You carve cups into the back of each pentagon, and making it so everything outside the cups is really smooth high points, and then you include a heavy ball. Once assembled the only place the ball can come to rest is in a cup, and whichever cup it rests in will be pulled to the bottom. This could be a really interesting jumbo yardgame die, but it would also stop the sphere from rolling so you could display it without anything external to keep it still. I'm sure the trick is finding a ball with the right weight, too heavy and it'll break itself apart, not heavy enough and it won't be able to roll the ball.

It's always a pleasure when you post a new project and I love to see how you experiment with new techniques. As far as the number 12... I just think of the 12 lunar cycles in a solar year that inspired most of the calendars that exist, also in music theory there are 12 pitch classes that make up an octave but I don't know how that would work as a sphere. I'd say make a calendar...

There are a lot of lists you can cut down to 12. 12 biggest cities. 12 avengers. 12 xmen. 12 pokemon. 12 avatar characters. 12 lotr characters. 12 Simpson characters. The hard part is finding which things work well as inlays. You need something that works well as a 2-3 color svg. Superheroes have logos. Cartoons might work. It would be cool to do something very math oriented, like perfect squares or prime numbers. Maybe fundamental equations of physics or something. Text is boring though.
