** N64 ** Nintendo 64 ***
Remember, the thing being made here is the video. Let's think like a video-maker for a moment.
The featured trinket takes very little time to make when it is compared to the video itself. There are actually three logos being used for the making of this film, and the finished piece isn't even shown here, because as I type this, it still isn't done yet. The final version is the one shown during the woodworking scenes, and right up through the blue paint scene. After that, I am showing the second prototype, which was finished (painted) very quickly, so that I could shoot the end of the video. The final reveal shows a blotchy finished logo, which I regret is the price of reducing the production time of this video.
So what did I cut with the chainsaw, and why? It was the original (first) prototype, which was made using proportions that more closely approximated the official logo. This version was taller than it was wide, and so it was not a convincing reproduction when viewed IRL. I tried to use distraction to keep you from noticing this; there is little chance that you could be aware of such minutia while a loud dramatic event unfolds in only a few seconds. But nevertheless, it was a lousy copy. You see, the official logo is a multiple-point perspective drawing, so it is inconsistent and unreliable for use with deriving precise measurements. It just didn't look right after I reproduced it as accurately as possible, so I chopped off some of the height from each side, but then the yellow parts were no longer squares. As a perfectionist, I found this condition to be insufficient, and further, I could not tolerate this inferior product's existence in my garage. So I used the opportunity to make a scene that would recreate a certain reference that, if you are asking "why," you didn't get.
Sorry if you didn't get it because it was obscure. But you know what? That's what makes you feel clever whenever the shoe is on the other foot, and you get it, while all of those other dumbasses are asking, "why the hell did he..."

nice Conkers bad fur day reference

[@SJC82]

Stupid logo!

The 'up next' video as I'm watching this is "Rareware Nintendo 64 Logo Sequences" with conker as the thumbnail lmao

[@UnshornKeyboardist]

Stupid logo!

[@NikkiRoesslerBFDIFan64]

That was funny when you made a Conker BFD reference XD

[@scarycanvas554]

OMG!

[@JohnHeisz]

isoimpressed! Kind of feel like Jarjar Stinks (or whatever his name is) after saying that out loud. :) PS: One more uncredited thumbs up for the sweet chainsaw action in the opening.

[@pocket83]

There were a couple of scenes that I invested a little too much time into on this one, but I still think that "making a carving knife" scene still takes the cake. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, watch this): kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYq6faeEqtCCe5I Meesa gonna stick wissa easy ones for awhile.

[@FrankieSonic20]

He made a reference to Conker's Bad Fur Day

[@peterbrownwastaken]

I'm once again impressed by the effort you pour into each of your projects. It almost seems that you would like to make more than the three you have, and continue to perfect the process if you could. I'm of the mass that didn't get the obscure reference, but for the record, the name is pronounce Du-Mass...

[@pocket83]

[@NickCybert]

You broke my heart at the beginning of this video. And then you rebuilt it, with wood.

[@avirambag]

Well done! I challenge you to make a Playstation logo :)

[@GrimsditchImages]

WOW! I can't believe I'm seeing this. And the Conker reference is like the icing on the nostalgia cake.

[@SavvasPapasavva]

Are you a maths teacher? I've started to suggest to some of the students I work with to look at your videos, in a feeble attempt to illustrate how to ask the right questions before making something.

[@pocket83]

Thank you! I take the question as quite a compliment, but no, I do not teach mathematics. But I'm glad that you think some of these videos are good enough to be used as a teaching aid/tool. I wish I was really as well organized and as systematic as the person I portray.

[@MrGameAndChill]

This is very impressive! I also enjoyed your Conker's Bad Fur Day intro remake.

[@DemetriusCoutinho]

There´s no spoon. metric system is easiser. hehehehe. you do a really great work.

[@HPGMelchARNAL]

Conker's bad fur day reference :D

[@pocket83]

You win! Not too many people will get that. They will probably just assume that I'm not all there.

[@pocket83]

Drunken Woodworker Hehehe. I have the real deal. If you look closely in the thumbnail, it's in the console. I'm playing it now, which prompted this video. As for getting the rom, it should come bundled with most versions of coinops (if you have time for that), but most emulators won't run it well, anyhow. I know, I'm weird- but I prefer the authentic experience ;)

[@peterbrownwastaken]

pocket83 Why can't both be true...

[@dylantruong897]

Peter go home you're drunk...

[@FrontierSetter]

Looks great! I have limited knowledge of woodworking but I do appreciate the time and effort it takes to make something like this. Again, awesome project, can't wait to see more!

[@CatalinaMaxCisternasJofre]

I dare you to make the gamecube logo in 3D. :3

[@pocket83]

ThatCheesyGamer That's kind of a cool idea. It wouldn't be too hard. Might look good made out of Plexiglas.

[@portal1523]

@pocket83 you did the conker’s bad fur day logo

[@AndreaArzensek]

I find your videos extremely useful, exciting and enjoyable! Thanks for sharing! I love Escher's drawings.

[@lmacmillan1016]

omg when he created the scene it was spinning the wrong way facepalming so hard

[@firebird8600]

[@pocket83]

I appreciate it! Thanks.

O:04 to 0:18 a really great remake opening of conker's bad fur day

[@Tostada_congelado]

POV: you are Conker

[@GaryTruesdale]

The sanding stick! And the straw around the paint brush. I appreciate the innovative techniques you include in your videos.

[@pocket83]

Thank you. I try to make it dense, like there's a purpose for every scene. We get so many little things when we watch other people work. Slightly related: I've always liked watching skilled bricklayers work.

[@alecatmew]

Oh wow that paintbrush tip might have been the most valuable part of this video! I'm loving all of these builds, and the way in which you explain them. Great stuff.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

thanks for adjusting the audio levels

[@geoffreyexcellent4199]

Thank you for another great video! This is probably one of the most iconic gaming logos of all time...

[@9hig]

please never stop making videos, i dont even do woodwork, yet I still find them to be soo relaxing. :)

[@pocket83]

¡Relaxing? This is supposed to be exciting! Just kidding. I can see how watching it would have kind of a Bob Ross sort of effect. Strange, I'm nothing like that in real life ;)

[@Xomby]

pocket83 I nominate Bob Ross as an alternative to Ritalin.

[@scotthall8790]

+pocket83. I could see you having your own program on tv. I don't think it would take too long for it to catch on and you would have a following, live and DVR.

[@TheXander1111]

somehow I read this as "please stop making videos" haha

[@AndaluSatyamurthy]

After viewing the video an idea came into my mind which I want to share. In a cube the center cubical hole can be made simply by using a chisel or a square cutting bit. Then, the letter N can also be inscribed using a chisel or jig saw. I surprised why you have taken that much pain in doing so. Upload the same after successful completion.

[@pocket83]

Andalu Satyamurthy Ha! Why don't _you_ upload it? It certainly could be done that way, but my method would be much faster.

[@SeismosVideoCorner]

He copied the opening of Conkers Bad Fur day

[@baconsoda]

Brilliant annotation @ 3.28. Thank you for those words about math teachers having no edit facility when going live. I was a math lecturer and used to ask my students to please tell me if they spotted a mistake on the board because it's as easy to misplace a number or point in math as misspell a word or neglect a comma in English (I hoped it might also keep their attention hoping to spot a mistake) Thankfully, I only tripped up once in 30 years but I was really glad that someone spotted it because people will write down and learn mistakes. Great video, so unlike some really bizarre, but highly entertaining ones, I picked up on recently. Best Wishes, Brendan.

[@jacknjellify2-k1c]

[@FahrenheitUK]

10:24 Have you thought of designing and marketing a paintbrush with a similar mechanism built-in? If there isn't such a thing already it could be really successful.

[@ianmacfarlane1241]

At 4:30 - I couldn't catch the dropped in single frame. I can usually catch it, but not this one - it's someone bald (Dr Evil - Austin Powers?) I'm always watching on a phone so I can't scroll frame by frame. Still can't get the references though. Great video again,!

[@WalkzAway]

gotta say tho man you speak well you think well and you edit well watching your videos is addicting

That's pretty cool man. I have little to no interest in Nintendo or any gaming platform for that matter, but I can certainly appreciate what you created, it's art!

Just take a block of wood, make a square hole in the middle. Then cut triangles on the bottom and mirror it at the top with opposite angle.

i made a 1 inch tall 3D print of one of those. i relate heavily to the struggle of dimensioning.

[@Ace25]

You Just Said "Stupid Logo" While You Should Have Said "SHTUPID LOGO!"

[@PatEm10]

"...I could not tolerate this inferior product's existence..." Man, how many times have I felt this exact same way. Good build though. I work for a company whose name is abbreviated to three letters. I have thought about making something like this so that from the front you see the three letters, but from the side, you see just the first letter. The Discovery Channel had a "D" logo at one time that was like that (the same as the N64 "N"). I think it would be cool decoration for our booths at conferences and such.

[@TheRedSweater]

I always find your videos very interesting. Thank you for sharing.

[@ILikeToWatchTodai]

If I decided to actually DO something with my channel, this is how it would be, 100%

[@justinrees1939]

This right here earned a subscribe from me. Not that its really a big deal lol. But question, What would it take to get one of these made by you? I really want want as a display piece and nowhere seems to sell it. I was going to message you privately about this but i guess messaging isn't an option on here. Anyways, great video, brought back some memories.

[@gtnaildesigns5011]

You just explained proportions in a way I actually understand. Now it seems so easy. Why couldn’t my math teacher explain just simply like you did and not go the extra 1,000 miles.

[@i0am0random]

I like how you have pocket83 written on loads of your stuff and shown throughout the video... That way if someone clicks a video that's been recommended without knowing the channel name, they will do by the end lmao

[@cpu64]

I think the reason why the protractor test failed is because the view (camera angle) used to get the rendered image of the logo is not perfectly isometric like in the paper. Also, it can be made in 8 small parts without crunching any numbers. :)

[@zerotheliger]

Another thought though why not render this in 3D CAD software so your not too limited on paper? Or do you just love writing everything out instead of letting a computer handle most of the calculations for you? Just a curious question.

[@RamiroLeiva]

I once designed the house of Flash on a house plan. I gave the house many 45 degree angles and gave it a lighting bolt shape with Flash's logo in the middle. Then I wanted to make the house tilted like if Flash just ran past it making the house slant towards the direction he was running. When I put it on paper it looked good and doable. Then when I tried to build the model, well lets say I just had to make the house straight.

[@cosmicjenny4508]

N64 logo with Gameboy startup sound... Am I going insane?

[@WildSeven19]

Heh, I get it. But I'm not insecure enough to blab the answer. This build is really cool. I'm impressed by the amount of ideas you consistently have.

[@gradyhenshaw2578]

I made a much bigger one of these years ago in the same manner but with little to no maths, and mine come out perfect, I kinda think you seemed to over complicate things, bit each to their own. I was so proud of it, then I got with my ex like 12months after making and 6 moths in i gave it to her as a birthday gift and 2 moths after so had the shits at me and threw it up the hallway and broke it the bitch.. so I kicked her out of my house and haven’t seen her since thank god.

[@plaguedoctor198]

I love how you draw your Z's! 0:38 Just look at that Z!

You're better than my math teacher because he uses math for boring things.

[@teddybaruch4147]

What was the name of the paint colors that you we're using in the video? like the red, blue, green, and yellow colors specifically. 9:20

[@eggycat]

Really was surprised to see you working in imperial. You obviously have been in many other videos but this is the first time I've noticed.

[@boumbh]

I’m laughing at the Maths, but then I’m crying at the tools and the craft skills. You do good. I think I’m just jealous.

[@andersforsgren887]

This build just made you probably my favorite youtuber. I however hate your usages of subliminal messages. XD

[@paul4543]

Great video. LOL'd when I saw the framed Adam Savage photo. Was thinking of getting one myself. haha

[@TyRexDaQT]

Say, Pocket. I'm only 15, but I'd really like to understand some more of the amazing mathematical and scientific/geometrical things you do, because they really interest me. One thing that especially caught my eye was the whole argument thing in one of the comment sections in which you stated something similar to how aliens with 8 fingers would prefer a numerical system of 8's? I don't quite understand what you meant by the whole thing, and I'll read it over again and try to understand, but I'd be grateful if you could explain that to me.

[@pocket83]

Mega T22 I think that was on the "bending the rule" video. As I'm sure you know, there are two dominant measurement systems in the western world: Imperial and Metric (SI). Most of the world now uses the second one, so there is no shortage of people here on KZbin who will argue that it is the better system. My opinion is that there is no perfect system, and my argument was that it is better to be familiar with as many systems of expression as possible. Many people will argue in favor of their present system just because it is the one that they use, and so they are accustomed to it. It seems "normal" to use what you are used to, and this is an example of a bias. Much of the reason that Metric _seems_ simpler is because it is based on tens, and we have ten fingers, so we are used to the number ten- we have a bias for it. A good scientist will remember to be looking for their own biases, and also not be afraid to question their own assumptions about the world. You may have been born on a planet where it is "normal" to have evolved into a creature with ten fingers, so you may have _assumed_ that there was something easier about counting to ten. But what if you had been born on a planet where everyone had a bias for eight fingers? Besides, which number is easier to cut in half again and again, 10 or 8? There are going to be pros and cons to any system of expression, so the goal is to evaluate them fairly, so that you can see (and think) clearly about the idea that is being expressed. I hope this helped clarify the argument a little, and thanks for asking!

[@TyRexDaQT]

pocket83 Helped lots, I understand now. Thanks, and I'll be sure to keep in mind that it's better to familiarize myself with as many systems of expression as possible. You're awesome, gonna check out some more of your vids :)

[@The1wsx10]

what? SI isnt easier, wolfram alpha is easier!! btw great paint brush trick! my mum is an artist and she will love this!

[@RexusKing]

I found that you almost always turn off your tablesaw at the very end of the cut, is the reason for doing this to slow down the saw a bit to avoid the last little bit of wod got tear out? (I have encounter this situation quite often)

[@Iam007sobeatthat]

Amazing! I built a N64 coffee table a few years ago and it did my head in! imgur.com/gallery/X7C3A

how did you get that n64 logo back if it was cut?

[@galemanno775]

Was at the beginning a recreation of the Nintendo 64 logo from Conker's bad fur day?

[@wickerpony]

That is just awesome. Now I kind of want to make one.. Glad I subscribed.

[@eliphaletbozeman]

STUPID LOGO!

[@AsiAzzy]

Idk what seems to be the problem? I've CAD-ed this shape in 5minutes in catia. Just an N rotated 4 times along the center of the cube. I've ballparked the dimensions to 100mm for cube, and 30mm for the thickness of N sides (including the middle), geometry looks fine to me. I can send you the cad model if you want. You can 3d print it with that.

[@pocket83]

Sure, that's the easy way. But I used the official Nintendo brand logo, and it had some funny perspective thing going on. I thought I explained that in the video. This was years ago, so I don't remember- but I think they may have distorted it for dramatic effect, like the way a wide-angle lens works.

[@ChaosWolf1982]

I hope the one in the intro wasn't the same one at the end - that came out too nice to be destroyed. Please tell us the intro one was a second one you made just for the sake of that shot.

[@backpackerindonesia6802]

[@user-hs4eo3ep7y]

you are a genius! Where did you get the education and experience to do these things? And how old are you?

[@vespoids]

I find your videos so relaxing to watch. You are full of creativity it's amazing. Although I do wonder. How many people actually use your ideas and try to recreate them. Maybe I am just the oddball here but I don't own any tools like you and I don't have near as much skill at well... anything!

[@pocket83]

Bishoujo Kun Thank you very much! I get the feeling that most people watch and then get it out of their system, so I don't think very many people try to reproduce any of this stuff. But every once in awhile, I get a message from someone who says that they made something from one of my videos, and that is perhaps the most flattering compliment I get.

[@Ben786]

Wow, I never noticed that the Nintendo logo isn't perfectly isometric until you pointed it out! Annnnddddd now I'll never be able to un-see it Maybe, for another project, you could make an optical illusion Nintendo block that follows the logo exactly but isn't a perfect cube?

[@pocket83]

It gets even more complicated. Read the description- the damned thing is actually a perspective drawing. It has very distant (and multiple) vanishing points. But my work with it is done; as I have already stated, anything can be put on paper, so I see no reason to pursue it further, with respect to its being made into a physical object.

[@waffl3sk4t]

now all you need is the rareware logo and you've got a nice pair of carpented nostalgia. C:

[@MrJKCampione]

Very Nice. How do you like your table saw? Is it a Ridgid? Good fence? Accurate? I'm in the market for a table saw, so just wondering how you like yours.

[@pocket83]

It all depends. I want to move to a bigger house with a proper shop, where I will have room for a floor model. In my present house, there is only an attached garage, so the wheel-away (Ridgid) contractor saw works nicely. If this is your first table-saw, I would recommend it I guess. It won't let you down- but buy it from Craigslist, because the new ones are filled with stupid design. I purchased this because of the ridiculous abuses I put another one (just like it) through at a job I once had. It's a beast; I'll give it that. As for accuracy/precision, excuse the old idiom, but _it's not the arrow, it's the Indian._ Good luck, and don't be afraid to ask lots more questions before you decide... it is, after all, the heart of the shop.
