How It's Made: Kaleidoscopes

[@OGSontar]

Even now, at age 60+, I can still remember countless hours fascinated by the ever-changing images in my Kaleidoscopes as a young'un. I had a couple of them in different sizes, and they were among my favorite toys for years. Probably the only toys I didn't disassemble.

[@Toilandtrouble_13]

That lady literally gets to do arts and crafts all day

[@Quirkyalonester]

I was going to say, where can I get this job? Just send me the stuff, I'll put it in the tubs and send them back. 😁

[@etherealenergy9471]

Yes I don't understand why my daughter who has amazing artistic talent doesn't take her art seriously. Who says you can't make a living out of it. Who cares what people say start your own business. If I had talent to her extent I wouldn't waste it.

[@evanm6739]

Honestly seems easy and doesn't require talent. But to each their own.

[@MS-sv1tr]

I mean, I wouldn't call it art. But she is using glue, so I guess you can call it crafts.

[@lemns8296]

yes, working her fingers to the bones as her arthritis gets worse and worse over the years till it developes into carpal tunnel and then that gets worse and eventually her hands are locked up and she cant even wipe herself

[@marypasco2213]

When I was a kid, had a kaleidoscope that had several disks that you could open up & put different objects in them. Wish I still had it.

[@ノアヘルナンデス]

I actually know the kaleidoscope artists featured here! They’re names are Judith Paul and Tom Durden. So check what they have made their work is all so beautiful :)

[@evanm6739]

How

[@thevikingwarrior]

How many times did they get cut, trying to separate mirrors?

[@EIbereth]

In Mexico some years ago in primary school we were taught to make kaleidoscopes. We used pieces of coloured glasses that run freely inside the item. It might not being as elaborated as the ones in the video, yet it is awesome. Cheers.

[@nuassul]

Por allá a mediados de los 2000's una empresa de dulces no me acuerdo si era Sonric's o Ricolino sacaron en esas cajas llenas de dulces con una variedad de juguetes y entre esa colección estaba un caleidoscopio, fue bastante divertido jugar con ese juguete.

[@Roczen24]

Watching these makes me feel like im at home from school sick again during lunchtime

[@mikhail6729]

Probably not all kaleidoscopes are handmade. It looks like quite complex process.

[@03hitman]

I made kaleidoscope in class 8th for Arts and Craft exibition. But didn't knew it was this precise task.

[@xenolixx5387]

The kaleidoscope was originally known to the ancient Greeks, but was not rediscovered until 1816 by the Scottish physicist David Brewster and a patent was applied for in 1817.

I got to work with Luc and Sallie Durette for a bit and the process was remarkably similar. The models I assisted with had wood cases for the mirror system housing instead of cardboard. These kinds of kaleidoscopes are quite lovely and last a long time!

How It's Made just shows how boutique things are made, not how most things are actually made. That would be a very depressing show.

[@LucidDreamer54321]

Well, it is cheaper than LSD.

[@chuckguerin8141]

Not this one I bet. And if its good acid and pure. You will never forget the twelve hours on the other side. Im too old now I dont think my heart could take it. But LSD smokes a kaliedascope. hands down.

[@robyn051]

Acid is pretty cheap though lol

[@randymagnum7508]

Actually lsd is cheaper $5 a tab

[@nisar6339]

I don’t think so. I used to make these and you have to use first surface mirrors which are super expensive. If you notice, this guy used first surface mirrors as well as the mirror was on both the inside and outside of the glass. I used to sell mine for $100 each. I’m not well versed in the price of LSD, but I don’t believe it costs that much.

[@LucidDreamer54321]

@Nisa R Since you have some experience, you can now try some LSD and let us know how they compare in price and effectiveness.

[@ds3930]

Before watching: “who cares about a kids toy!” After watching: “Damn I need one! Hey Alexa, order me two koliadascopes!”

[@softwarerevolutions]

I got one kalideoscope from my uncle which had a very convex lens at the end instead of being limited by any packed items as shown here. You can imagine the variety. Eventually, I disassembled it. Keeping it would have been so great.

[@paulredinger5830]

Dang! I’m almost 59(m) and I STILL love these silly things!

[@bean2777]

Imagine someone finding this 10,000 in the future and wondering why on earth we as humans had needed that in our culture and lives.

[@jamsistired]

I’m pretty sure that when it is that far into the future, everything we have and do will be viewed that way. Fidget spinners, rock and roll, rap, short shorts, KZbin, and maybe even cell phones will be crazy old concepts like stereoscopes and aqueducts are to us.

I'm actually more curious on how they came up with its name kaleidoscope

[@norahdrenaline2138]

I assume it comes from greek, where 'kalos' means 'beautiful' and 'scope' is glass, like in telescope and microscope etc. But I don't speak Greek and I haven't researched the definition, so take it with a grain of salt.

The people must obey God's rules. They must not let two different kinds of animals have sex together. They must not put two different kinds of seeds in one field. They must not make clothes from two different materials. Leviticus 19:19 EASY bible.com/bible/2079/lev.19.19.EASYSo you must stop doing wrong things. Change how you live and turn to God. Then God will forgive you for all the wrong things that you have done. Acts 3:19 EASY bible.com/bible/2079/act.3.19.EASYYou must not think bad thoughts about another person. A person may do something that is wrong. You must tell him that he is doing a wrong thing. If you do, you will not be a part of the wrong thing. You must not hurt another person because he hurt you. And you must not remember for a long time the bad thing that someone did to you. You must love all people as you love yourself. I am the Lord .
