As others have said, you are a gifted communicator as well as fabricator. Thank you.

[@tiffanywilliams194]

End product was gorgeous! Thank you for the breakdown of how to do this in such a down-to-earth manner. I just started welding school after 20 years of talking myself out of it. Yard art was/is my motivation.

[@GDSavingThePast]

Cool project. For something similar I wonder if you could make one of these using old silver plate or stainless steel serving or soup spoons. That would save time from cutting and shaping the discs and welding on the bars.

[@ArtfullyRogue]

Sure, I don't see why that wouldn't work

[@ManCrafting]

This video is fantastic. One of the many many projects on my todo list. I didn’t have a good plan to ensure it would spin. This helps. I first saw these at a park when I was in the Bay Area for Maker Faire. Love your design!

Thanks Chad

I now have the confidence to try myself. Thank you so.............so................so much... and what is the secret to getting it balanced? Again thank you so much!!!

[@ArtfullyRogue]

You can do it! For me it was a matter of finding a good fit between pipes so there wasn't nay room to become unbalanced

[@4by4squared88]

I use a different method. One is a pointed rod facing up and hitting the caps center and the other way is to use a large ball bearing close to the ID of the pipe and just let it sit there and put your top pipe over it just like he did. Works great both ways for me. My work is in copper.

@@ArtfullyRogue What is a restaurant SS spoon and used here for what?

[@muthukumarrajamani5257]

Thank you for clearly explaining the process of creating a wind sculpture, in a step-by-step easy to understand format! :) I have the following questions. 1. All the blades have the same length. Is it okay to use variable blade lengths for the top and bottom 3 blades (e.g. 2.5 in, 5 in 7.5 in ) and retain 10 inches for the middle ones? Will this impact the overall effect? 2. Before sliding the 4 feet Pipe over the 8 feet Pipe, the middle (cage( and top part of the thrust bearing(race) are *just placed* without any welding, over the bottom part of the thrust bearing that is stuck to the top of the 8 feet pipe? Yes? 3. Is it okay to weld the bottom part of the bearing to the 8 feet pipe instead of using the 2 sided tape?

[@ArtfullyRogue]

This was my first real attempt at building a wind sculpture. I've researched a lot about them but can't really answer your questions without trying some of what your asking. I don't see why different blade sizes would cause problems. And I didn't weld any part of the bearing since there wasn't any space within the pipe for it to move anywhere. Welding can sometimes damage the bearing

[@TimBraun-r6x]

Awesome Video. I am new to welding and metal work and this is a project I have been looking to make. Do you by any chance have a list of overall materials needed. I am not sure I am getting the correct wall thicknesses from the video. Thank You- Tim

[@robertcornelius3514]

Nice work, but how did you dampen the grinding noise of the two pipes rotating on each other? I would expect to hear some scraping noise.

[@LiloUkulele]

can you recommend a wire feed welder for my home shop. I am a wood worker but have the occasional small welding job (tables, jigs, etc.)...Great video!!!!

[@ArtfullyRogue]

For years I would have suggested using a flux core welder if just starting out and that's still a good choice if budget is a concern and you only plan on doing small projects. However, if you think it might be something you do more often, then I'd go with the YesWelder multi process welder. It might also help that if you use the code ARTFULLYROGUE you'll get 10% off. It's affordable and easy to use. It can do gas mig welding, flux core gasless welding, tig and stick. SO you get several welders rolled into one which gives you a lot of options. Hope that helps

[@ryanortbals4981]

Great video Doug! How do you keep it from spinning backwards? Or getting stalled due to both sides of the blades catching wind? Thanks

[@ArtfullyRogue]

This was my first attempt, and I actually haven't had any issues so far with it spinning backwards. I did realize it does stall on occasions and I think I just need to angle the paddles a bit more to fix that

[@ryanortbals4981]

@@ArtfullyRogue I just built my first one for a Christmas gift. I have been adjusting the angle of the blades, adjusting the curve as well. It is not going backwards any more but it does stall ocassionally. I'll share a video when I install it. Thanks for the reply!

[@inhibited44]

what type of cnc machine did you get? I have access to a wood cutting cnc machine, but I doubt the bearings can handle cutting even thin metal.

[@ArtfullyRogue]

I had the Langmuir cnc, it was a good hobby machine but only had a small 24x24 cutting table. In the near future, I'll be searching for an 48x96 cutting table

[@stephenchilingirian5183]

Great Video!!! Thank you so much!!! Are you using tubing or pipe?

[@ArtfullyRogue]

I used tubing on this

[@flhs81]

You could use a large serving spoon, cut off the handle and weld the 1/4" bar stock to that. Maybe save some time? What do you think?

[@alanmustarde]

Please explain why two thrust beatings are better than two normal enclosed bearings

[@precisionarc]

Thrust bearing, good idea. Curious, at about 1:38 there is a white board in the background you have a list of 7 Virtues..., 5 Keys...,and 3 (can't see/read) What is this all about?

The white board was actually something my son wrote. I forget the details but I'll find out and let you you know

[@suzannemcconnell1149]

Kind sir, I am looking for someone to manufacture several turning directional bearing bases for a spinning sculpture cut from steel. It would need to be anchorable into the ground and support about 500 lbs of weight. I wish for it to be directional, only counter-clockwise, and it would be best if it had a mechanism to park it from spinning. WOuld this be something you would take on or can you recommend someone else? Thank you very much. James McConnell

[@ArtfullyRogue]

I've been thinking about this for a little bit and I'm not sure it's something I can do right now. However, I will continue to research the idea and I'll let you know if I figure out a cost effective yet quality method to accomplish what you're asking.

[@suzannemcconnell1149]

@@ArtfullyRogueThank you kindly.

[@stephenkrupa2901]

Great video! Thank you for sharing. Quick question though. Would you need to lubricate the inner pole to keep it from grinding or squeaking as the elements start to take its toll later on down the road?

[@ArtfullyRogue]

The thrust bearing doesn't need lubrication

[@michaelculhane3058]

Your right. The bottom will clang like a bell or drag and keep it from spinning because there is no bearing down there. There are a few other problems here. that's why he was spinning it with his hand out of frame at the end. It would take a lot of wind to get this to move. It's going to rust soon too. But he took a shot.

[@bobprice9244]

3 thin brass shims at the bottom will keep it centered and pretty much friction free if you do the math right

[@firehorsewoman414]

Am just curious about the load that can be put on the tape you used at around 3:40 in your video. You said it held all day until your shop got pretty hot so I am wondering if living in a hot climate I need to look for a different solution? What are your thoughts?

[@ArtfullyRogue]

So sorry for the delayed response. When I tested and the shop got hot, I had added over 300lbs of weight before it finally failed. I think under a normal situation, it would be fine unless there's a crazy weight involved

[@firehorsewoman414]

@@ArtfullyRogue no worries we all get busy. Thanks for the information.

[@tomthompson7400]

great video , however , if your not using a bottom bearing , a simple ball bearing set on the top of the inner pole , and held there with a blob of grease till the outer pole is slipped over will work just as well , infact if you drill a small hole , or dimple the top plate on the inner pole it will work a treat , its how Rega bearing up their turntable platterns ,, id also add a grease nipple to the top of the outter pole too , just as its easier to grease it , than remove it to grease later. just my thoughts.

[@ArtfullyRogue]

Thanks Tom, this is my first time working with this particular bearing but I will keep your tips in mind for any future project where I need bearings

@@JohnDavis-yz9nq yep ,, its the way Rega turntables work , amazingly simple and very long lasting and low maintenance ,,

[@JohnDavis-yz9nq]

tom thompson I did something similar on a wind sculpture once. Welded a plate on top of the outer section that the blades were attached and put a steel ball the same OD as the inner tubing. It worked fine for a longtime until the end cap plate that was sitting on the steel ball became worn with a slight indentation. The grease dried up. My fault probably. Had I put a grease fitting like you said it would have been better and lasted longer.
