Making Kururin: Rolling sticks! (traditional and weighted fidget toy)

[@pocket83]

Sorry, *I am not selling these.* But out of curiosity, how much do you think the blue one featured at the end is worth?

[@renevank]

pocket83 i think you could make some big bucks if you did sell them

[@ratrod67]

Really that's hard for me to determine. Often people never want to pay for what time you have involved in something. They are used to paying prices for things mass produced. Figet toys seem to get a premium though. I was curious about the cost as I have a friend with a toy store and thought these would be cool to sell there.

[@rackerman2876]

I'd go as high as three American dollars for one.

[@dorinsro]

About $20

[@joelrodriguez8481]

You could sell them around $15 or $25, depending on what materials you use in order to make the product.

[@Inkrofist]

that bob ross reference. love it

[@ikazuchioni]

I saw that too, how delightful!

[@colevanwyk4949]

Inkrofist brilliant. I lol'd

[@jk9554]

brilliant. I almost expected the video to end with the words "good night, and god bless" :p

"Some directions are just easier to stroke in than others!" - pocket83 2017

[@WesHamstra]

Colin Dalool hahaha! I knew someone would take it that way

[@paulchilders9969]

Yeah, and he said it with a straight face, totally expecting us to take him seriously.

[@lehcim777]

That's what she said.

[@codyoneill835]

I laughed out loud

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Just finished making one! It takes a lot more coordination that I had imagined. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@thomasthetrain8240]

Love the Bob Ross reference with the falio blue! And the happy little clouds!

[@Leon024]

you should put one of those on a treadmill

[@vernal.equinox]

Some happy little clouds, and some nice happy trees overlooking the sunset, isn't nature just beautiful?

[@starpowernow]

i have no idea what you're talking about in this video. i have 0 experience with crafting and I don't own a single tool. but damn did i enjoy watching this video

[@mmmmm3699]

matthew jacinto I know

[@MagnusMoerkoereJohannesen]

13 minutes of back-to-back really clever. Even if I wasn't a sucker for woodworking, I'd still recommend this video to everyone! Exceptional job!

[@pocket83]

Thank you!

[@nevercallmebyname]

what happens if you use them as bowling pins?

[@johnnystock7294]

nevercallmebyname omfg

[@gorisenke]

nevercallmebyname the right questions.

[@aayushs.3935]

[@bruhmomentum5064]

They'd all topple away in a very satisfying manner.

[@SteveRamsey]

I've never heard of these before. What a cool thing to make! Thanks Pocket!

[@natemetsify]

lesson of the day kids, some directions are just easier to Stroke in... 3:35

[@electronicsNmore]

Nothing like a good wood lathe and metal lathe. Very useful.

[@WestonClark]

I have never seen these before, and I really enjoyed watching the crafting process. If/when I can ever afford a lathe, I would love to make some of these. They look addicting and fun.

[@MeepMeep88]

You should make a human sized one, then hollow out the middle so you can stand inside it. Then roll down the hill with it LOL

[@powerplayer75]

Candi Soda wouldnt work. Uneven weight distribution

[@Chris-P.-Bacon-III]

Just put weights on the inside where it needs it. It'd be a semi-custom fit one-time thing anyway.

[@rayhill1]

Candi Soda your profile picture really fits with the coment

[@savageharambe867]

Candi Soda I see you everywhere

[@gorisenke]

Candi Soda I would either black out, come out vomiting, or already be covered in various bodily Fluids before I get back out and collapse on the ground.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Pretty cool toy, I really liked the way you stained the wood with acrylic paint! Wiping it with water to remove the excess was a really cool trick! Thanks for sharing!

[@Makebuildmodify]

I've never seen these. So cool!

[@MD-en3zm]

Looks fun - good Christmas stocking stuffers to make on the lathe. Thanks for the templates/plans.

[@drportland8823]

Well, there goes next weekend. You think I'm made out of time or something?

[@Rocknoob49]

I never woodworked, I dont have space or equipment, neither a real need to do so. Yet I'm here clicking all the way through your channel. Not sure what it is, but you make really relaxing, nice content.

[@Makebuildmodify]

Was that a weighted corner in the top cube at the end of the video?

[@SeanDS89]

I was just gonna ask the exact same thing lol... I can't think of how else it might have been done, unless its some sort of clever optical illusion

[@ratsratsratsratsrats]

AddictedFort1E although I think it is weighted it could be magnets.

[@333booger89]

Make Build Modify I think the backside of the bigger cube is cut away. therefore it is not a cube. allowing an offset weight

[@Everfalling]

magnets would snap together. even weak ones would cause a slight jump i think.

[@pbhj]

I'd say it's an optical illusion. The to piece isn't a cube. See how he turns the combined piece only slightly, that's to avoid breaking the illusion. My brain doesn't work well in 3d, so I can't picture the piece but I think it's almost flat with rhomboid sections.

[@nexus01gr]

Funny watching you "lathe" with the drill and the sander, as I did the exact same thing for a master of a toy rocket ship, just a few days ago. _Mater artium necessitas..._ Always a pleasure, mr Pocket!

[@MrBlitz121]

The moment you said phtalo blue I was already laughing at the Bob Ross reference that came later.

[@OutcastAngelV]

Excellent Bob Ross reference with the paint there, hahah, had a good chuckle

[@ruadeil_zabelin]

Kururin is the guy that always dies

[@StrandSteifen]

Makes kinda sense now. He / It falls and just comes back up. O_o *mind blown*

[@GoldenHay1]

now i finally know what his name means.

[@karna5998]

Kayak Fan wow I just watched the video because I found the word "kuririn" oddly familiar at the first place, and then I saw this comment, thanks

[@VirtuallySane]

Kayak Fan that's *Kuririn / dakimakura punching bag

[@renatoramos65]

Kayak Fan kuririn friend of son goku haha

[@RustySeatbelt]

Some great practical handiwork at play here. Good stuff.

[@Choco37Raspbry]

Hi, what's with the cow and the abc choice?

[@amandamathis4805]

Choco Raspbry i thought i was the only one who saw that

[@Choco37Raspbry]

StarFyter1 Hi, thanks I know that. I was just curious about what the question was in the first place and also what the answer would be. Also what does the cow represent? Sorry, it all just made me curious when the image flashed during the vid. Thanks x

[@karna5998]

Choco Raspbry what time did the pic show up?

[@StarFyter1]

I have no idea of the significance but my quick search reveals nothing. I was just surprised to see it....

[@karna5998]

Robinson Little thanks

[@TimothyHall13]

Great Bob Ross reference. Another great video! Thanks Pocket!

[@Dummythiccdakota]

new fidget toy? i hope so these are cool as heck!, i'm going to try to make some on my lathe but all i have is a 4 jaw chuck so wish me luck.

[@DarknessLPs]

I am an armature who hasn't built his lathe yet (no room in garage just yet) but from my understanding I think you could adhere a solid block of wood (with a screw for this application probably) and be able to turn it pretty easily with a shorter dowel rod that is a little thicker than what you need.

[@adamonline45]

Clean that garage, unbox that lathe, and stator up!

[@andrewschort724]

New? Somebody doesn't know the meaning of "traditional"....

[@MrAwawe]

Those are some really nice shovel handles.

[@TheUnlocked]

How does that actually work in terms of like physics and stuff?

[@BigMjolnir]

Unlocked wild guess is that the taper is actually a parabola.

[@piteoswaldo]

I think the curve is optimized for a maximally smooth weight transfer (minimizing the impact), and the foam at the point is needed to prevent sliding. Any sliding would represent wasted energy, disrupting the motion.

[@cosmonaut379]

Unlocked if you ask that on a KZbin video like this just give up on any physics whatsoever

[@TheUnlocked]

Gavlick Apthesycerski youtube commenters can be very knowledgeable. You'd be surprised.

[@cosmonaut379]

Unlocked yes, they can, I meant as in showing the physics in a text block like on here it's not going to happen. It's a bit more complicated then can be shown here ... at it's simplest it's like 5 vectors operating against each other independently if you're leaving out any upward forces which gets really complicated really fast. But in short terms it's working on a quasi similar way as a curve of constant width on a non circular object but making up for the lack of constant width but to produce a semi wheel like behavior it has weighted ends so it tumbles. At least in two dimensions the rest is just up to balance

[@ophionnox1582]

I really want to see one of these made out of marble or granite. I love the sound it makes when you play on a slab of marble

[@mattjohnston2]

I know you create these videos hoping that at least some people will try to make some of the projects. In looking at this one though, and thinking that little toy might make a great addition to the wood products my wife and I make for the local market. Are you ok with me taking your idea and using it this way? Oh, the Ross reference was beautiful! :)

[@nashoba5450]

Matt Johnston its probably a toy that was invented 1000 years ago that he just made a tutorial on how to make it. Take it and make money sir.

[@mattjohnston2]

ANtoine Nat it likely is, yes. But I still figure it's common courtesy to ask the person who gave me the idea. He messaged me and we chatted about it... I'm getting my lathe set back up soon (I hope, lol).

[@riceonlyforme9888]

Omg I love the Bob Ross reference, pocket is now my favorite wood working channel

[@OfficerBreadstik]

what was with that cow...?

[@OfficerBreadstik]

I know what it said im curious what it means

[@Korny445]

"If this seems familiar, you may have seen it before" thanks for that. All jokes aside I love this channel.

[@adamgabbert]

What on earth is a centimeter? Freedom ain't divisable by 10.

[@bobdickweed]

or 12

[@ChurchClown7]

Adam Gabbert If Jesus wanted us to use the metric system he would of had ten disciples.

[@adamgabbert]

A gram of prevention is worth approximately one‑sixtieth a kilogram of cure. Just sayin', Donald.

[@andrewbyron6048]

Jesus may well have had 12 Apostles but God gave us 10 digits (fingers and thumbs) to work with! ;-)

[@Jeff121456]

Ignorance isn't divisible by 10 either.

[@hundredhundred-thousand7951]

Wow great tutorial. Just started woodturning on the lathe and this is a great project. You just earned a subscriber!

[@madeline4082]

Can I 3D print this?

[@aprilday7155]

I can't wait to see it with 3D print!!!

[@meherbanooo]

wow it is interesting for a layperson like me to get an insight into the details that you have shared. good work. very inspiring.

[@ratrod67]

Does anyone sell these? I don't have the tools to make them.

[@Jeff121456]

yes

[@chairya2]

Zombie Dave most toy stores will sell "magic beans" they are basically smaller versions of the item made in this video. It used to be an actual hype 4/5 years back in The Netherlands. But sadly I have never seen these bigger versions sold in regular stores..

[@ratrod67]

+chairya2 I might try and get a batch from somewhere and see how they sell in one. I think they're pretty cool..

[@skygeorge3638]

The moment you made that Bob Ross reference I immediately liked the video!

[@VoidHalo]

You really shouldn't check your template while the lathe's still running. That's how amputees are made.

[@nashoba5450]

Nothing\ well then his next videos will be a tutorial on how to make amputees

[@shibaa3015]

Looks like it can keep rolling forever and ever

[@Zucadragon]

Kururin is a character from the Dragonball universe, who often gets killed by pretty much every enemy...

[@DomTheSub24]

Zucadragon Goku died just as many times as Krillin. 1.Broken neck in DB 2.Frieza 3.Buu 1.Raditz/Piccolo 2.Cell 3.Hit GT doesn't count.

[@Zucadragon]

Oh I know, but he usually goes down after a good fight, the only one who dies more uselessly than Krillin is Yamcha :P But that wasn't the joke I was trying to make, I was just pointing out that Kururin is the proper name for Krillin :D

[@ramses8289]

Mimi the wooden Sableye well hit doesn't count either since goku revived himself

[@DomTheSub24]

DoHDrawings So if somebody kills Gohan for example, Gohan then goes to earth with baba for a day and revives himself with the dragonball, does that count?

[@xxXthekevXxx]

Kuririn* not Kururin

[@kevinc9059]

When you're tired just put this video on and you will go to sleep faster, his voice is super relaxing EDIT: why i subbed

[@veeeds]

This guy only has internet for an hour a day.

[@timothybozyczko6469]

Really neat idea Pocket! I'll be giving this a try on the lathe soon. And I loved the Bob Ross references!

[@bolter99]

Looks like a shovel handle lol

[@cosmonaut379]

bolter99 yes it looks like a round piece of wood, good job

[@ozkrhills9624]

bolter99 you are right....

[@Fubzo]

This is perfect, I was looking for something that rolls but also tumbles well for my school project. I'll be trying this out!

[@puyu8621]

kuru kuru kururin :3

[@pocket83]

I love that game.

[@TheCasualSubculturist]

Too bad sequels never made across US Shore :(...

[@harrisp584]

for some reason this put the song Shirin by Jens Lekman in my head. shirin shirin shirin shaaaarriinnnnnnnn

[@JimsonMakes]

Great project, i must have a go at making one of these. Cheers, Jim

[@Kilikos]

Do your videos still have weird hidden messeges and pointless mysteries?

[@EnkinduGamer]

Robert Kowalski if you blink, you could miss them.

[@Kilikos]

Enkindu ikr did I miss any in this one?

[@phoebehunt8246]

there is one in this one

yeah I just found your channel and I'll be honest, I'm not sure I want to follow on the basis of this subliminal cow message. Wth man.

[@aaronjoseph7573]

Man, it's a little irritating how smart you are... lol. Thanks for great content - always learning something!

[@mersilvaureus1525]

Always great to see another video from you pocket! And interesting choice of push stroke for general coping. My personal choice for coping is denial.

[@Hacktuber]

I dont know but these movements make me to think what if we put inside anti gravity tiny wheel and control the direction and speed it will be pretty good robot.

[@claeswikberg8958]

those looks like they can way to much fun when your boored, i have to make me a couple of them. tnx for the vid and the drawing

[@OneWoodAuwoodworking]

That is so cool, my kids will love them.

[@TheLightsnowman]

really enjoy the camerawork and editing! nice video

[@luunaz]

I discovered your channel recently and already watched lots of content, it's another video make me want to try it. I never saw those rolling stick before it's quite fun.

[@ElfDrinkerGames]

the sounds are mesmerizing in this video... I love them

[@rdoetjes]

The Bob Ross reference was superb!

[@RCmies]

Ooh I've always wanted a thing like this.. I've always tried to roll all kinds of objects and see if they roll like this.

[@DustyTravis]

Thumbs up for the Ren and Stimpy pic (and the great vid, as always!)

[@Carpythesharky]

That is so cool. I've never seen something like that before, looks like tons of fun. I don't have a lathe, thanks for the alternative way.

[@douglastiffany9910]

Very interesting and always, fun to watch. Thank you

[@djmetcalf3815]

I will definitely be making this in my wood shop class.

[@arjankooij4810]

Love the skill of both making the vid, as well as crafting these Kururin. Kudos :)

[@mistrlampshade]

4.30 for a tad bit of additional depth, use another 2by4, scoot it under the workpiece. voila. thank you for the video, like it a lot. fun little toy

[@pamcarr4003]

How fun! Thanks for sharing! Pam

[@tysondeal4369]

Thanks for the videos Pocket. Very cool! I appreciate your attention to detail.

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

This is awesome! I will be making these and crediting your channel!

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

These are really cool! I loved the project and video.

[@ganknspank1963]

I like this alot. Great how minds can create somthing. I could spend hours with this. Great video

[@gbultimate]

this is so much cooler than a fidget spinner

[@levicalebblack]

very well done. I subscribed bc of this video. looking forward to variants.

[@ianmacfarlane1241]

This is the first time I have seen your channel, and it's an automatic subscription. A beautiful video to watch - everything about it was a joy - making your own tap (hadn't ever thought of doing that) - as for the finished article, it's lovely - simple to look at, but ingenious. I look forward to watching more videos & getting inspired to do some projects.

[@happygarlic13]

This is SO COOL! Your videos are the best!

[@pocket83]

Thank you!

[@morphiasas]

that is so cool! I'll definitely build it one day. I love this kinda fun project n an interesting topic for others. Thank u so much so sharing! When I share mine next time, rest assure ur name will definitely be mentioned as the creator of this addictive toy

[@TheKernelCollective]

Great Video and what a cool toy. I'm going to add it to my list of projects to try. Thanks!

[@elizabethswindler4551]

Thank you This is so fun. I am going to try this this weekend if I can get the time. I saw the template for the one you cut out using the band saw, but I am not sure if there is a template for the lathe. Is there one?? I would love to have a copy.

[@TWLML420]

Cool vid, I can appreciate anything that is hand made!

[@SavvasPapasavva]

ok now you need to make a really big one! :)

[@pocket83]

Somebody suggested one that you could get inside of. It made me think of a handlebar above your head, to hold on. You would really have to have trustworthy friends, though!

[@garyteano3026]

Hell yeah, awesome stuff and thanks for the good work!

[@thewmonster]

great project! thank you!! I wonder if it would be worthwhile to make a form tool for the lathe, bang em out with less shape checking.

[@Dummythiccdakota]

sounds like a good idea, maybe made from an old table saw blade or even a jigsaw blade.

[@verebellus]

Its weird how if someone with a car or some electronics in his video has a girl, everyone talks about the girl, but here its all about the toy, love the way it is like this :) good on yall

[@spartanman3276]

I love the Bob Ross reference I was watching him all day

[@09mrdon]

Really great project and explanation. Thank you!

[@HobiHolic]

Wow its cool toy, i want to make it

[@amalau2472]

Very nice!! First video, new sub. :) I would love one of these for slow days at the office, gonna have to look into making my own.

[@Reap_885]

love ur vids man keep up the awesome woodworking! I'm so jelous

[@torgo_]

I liked the Bob Ross reference.

[@edvinkeskin8558]

He has a tool for every. Single. Job.

[@CaseyFinSF]

Excellent fun! I don't have the equipment or tools to do this being on a fixed income, but would like to know where I might pick up a pair of these. Thanks for sharing this. 😎

[@myzelleutube]

Thanks for the "suggestion", but I'm vegetarian. Lol! Great video.. Very in depth descriptions on how things work on your channel. Makes me think and I like that. Have a great day :)

[@anmpir]

Love your work. thanks for teaching!

[@FynnAkaFynn]

„Happy little clouds“ Like for that one!

[@ElusiveCube]

Never seen one before, very very nice, thanks

[@rallekralle11]

that looks like an awesome little toy. when the weather gets a bit warmer, maybe i'll try and make one. or maybe i could 3D print it?
