Polyhedrons from solid wood

[@toribaorganicos6026]

I finally found a "Jedi" master of geometry in woodwork. thank you very much for your teachings.

[@000basin]

I have the saw and the wood, now that I have seen this video too, I'll go ahead and order the shapes online.

[@ultracreador]

Do you come?

[@nitestrike1000]

Me too🤣

[@mattharris7674]

I was so confused when he said he needed a triangle to make a cube. My jaw hit the floor when I realized he machined a cube inside of a triangle

[@ultracreador]

Magic

[@spoon761]

Looking at this makes me realize how much I do not understand 🤓. Thanks for showing this superior geometry skills!

[@wewjoj]

It makes me wish I had payed more attention in geometry class.

[@thomasmarliere2505]

It’s almost magic to see the polyhedrons appear. I’m impressed by your ease with geometry !

[@TheMarcball]

Very cute German sense of mathematical humour. What an enjoyable world we live in... Thanks for the lovely inspiration ! Keep on trucking ! (from France)

[@matthiasburger2315]

Merci. Je suis honoré que vous voyez ma vidéo dans ce contexte.

[@SirWulfrick]

I gotta admit, rattling the triangle to show the cube is fully contained inside it made my eyes pop. Very cool.

[@kookyflukes9749]

my brain just exploded and saw dust came out

[@pocket83]

Beautiful work ;)

[@matthiasburger2315]

Thank you!

[@MrTridac]

Haha, cool :) While I watched this, I thought 'pocket83 would like that'.

[@JoeSims1776]

just checked out the channel. great videos

[@LizBurman]

This is the most math teacher approach to cutting a cube I've ever seen.

[@joejenkins3696]

this man sacrificing ease of crafting for some warmth Finally, someone worthy of my respect

[@declanthiele]

Now I know how to make dice sets for d&d!

[@DanielCopelandMD]

Thanks! This just helped me figure out the angles needed to cut out some tetrahedron shaped wooden dice for a homemade Royal Game of UR set. Deeply appreciated as I had mistakenly thought ALL angles were 60 degrees when I started.

[@marcuskc1]

im watching this for the exact same reason lol

[@DanielCopelandMD]

@@marcuskc1 I hope it worked out well for you. Sadly, as far as I can tell there is no way to make the tetrahedron shaped dices without having a relatively large amount of waste offcuts. Also, I ended up chamfering all the edges by rubbing them along sand paper to make it a little more comfortable to hold.

[@PaulMLombardi]

What a great tutorial. I like that he doesn't spoon feed us the details. I like smart people too.

[@richardsth1]

I know maths, and I know carpentry, but this was on another level!

[@Panhead49EL]

I was just daydreaming about how to machine a set of dice and anticipating the work holding challenges. Found your video and wow, mind expanded.

[@julianadams5753]

Herr Burger's videos rank among the good and the truly worthwhile stuff on KZbin! Inspired and inspiring!

[@r.j.slagter3112]

I am more than fascinated by your work! To me, it's stunning what you know about the geometry (platonic solids) and inspires me to re-member more about them

[@CameronLienhart]

Now you're just showing off

[@matthiasburger2315]

Only a tiny little bit.

[@dozer1642]

Cameron Lienhart my thought exactly. Cutting a cube using triangles. Lol

[@JoeCubicle]

I was going to reply the same, and add, he's doing it AND explaining it AND showing his work... so yeah. I'll just go do something I know how to do.

[@lopaka76]

The pentagrams said it all, this man sold his soul for chop saw skills. Amazing work, very impressive.

[@davelygrave21]

The dodecahedron is actually pretty easy with a band saw. If you convert each face of a cube to a rooftop shape at the right angle, with each face's rooftops pointed in a different direction, you get a dodecahedron in just 12 cuts. It's also possible to cut an Icosahedron from a slightly oblique dodecahedron.

[@Grieveit]

I have to say I am in awe of your skill at this. That was amazing to watch. I will search for more detailed videos by you on how to do this step by step. This is the first video of yours I have watched. But it was awesome.

[@charlesbeaudelair8331]

Danke. Beeindruckend.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

That was awesome! Plato would have really liked you! Next make a tesseract (lol)! By the way I loved your sketches, pieces of art! Thanks for sharing!

[@matthiasburger2315]

A tesseract would be a nice thing indeed... I'll see where I can get a 4D-Saw.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

lol!

[@arlingtonhynes]

Great video. I loved the way the saw was in tune with the music for the cube.

[@kftb7183]

Nicest illustrations I have seen in DIY videos. A pleasure to watch you drawinging, rather than sketch up... :)

[@ethanwong9950]

Outstanding video! I've been looking to do this project for a while, you just made it super easy for me, thanks so much!

[@orlando1a1]

Watching that made my brain ache - but then again I must be thick. Clever Video Matthias.

[@thisisnotmyname91]

I didn't understand any of that... but it was still fun to watch

[@naturaIIydifferent]

Wow. Now I have a reason to play with my miter saw. That's too much adjusting on the table saw. But, you really have a gift with demonstration. I really appreciate this info, great use of construction scraps.

[@MuzikBike]

This is really good! I'd like to see the regular 3D stars (Kepler-Poinsot polyhedra) next, but those seem to be pretty much an impossible nightmare to do

[@matthewholt9]

I have been cutting cubes wrong my whole life

[@laboratorynicefrance3489]

Lol

[@elodiemercier2502]

I love that I find this video after I found an interesting piece of wood on my land that would make a fantastic set of DnD dices

[@Thomas-zv1lw]

Best video DIY I never saw!!

[@Frisenette]

Considering the staggering amount of work that went into this I'm amazed that A. You don't have more subs. B. You didn't choose better music. C. With those talents that you set time off to do this.

[@Hi0Everybody]

Thanks for helping me make a icosahedron! Your video helped.

[@Navywalrus09]

Did anyone else just search "wooden dice" only to have this mitre saw magician blow their minds?

[@brianknowles7130]

Very good and impressive. I can only sit here and salute you. Thks

[@nashykins2865]

I've watched this three times in a row and got teary from laughing.

[@justinlortie9068]

Cool I never would have thought an octahedron could be turned into an icosahedron.

[@ricjssousa]

Simply amazing... loved the simplicity of how you explained all those polyhedrons. Briliant.. new sub

[@charlesalbrecht6201]

Absolutely mental sir!

[@raulmontero832]

Beatifull work!!! AND nice cumbia music!!

[@jon-erinneksteen4223]

Brilliant! That cube. I tip my hat too you sir.

[@Usakumo]

Wow. I knew technics to cut a square with my old saw, but all of those are just amazing nice work here !

[@aBrokenShard]

Simply Brilliant! Well done sir.

[@davidharnden714]

So cool! Thank you for setting the cube free! I feel like Monty Phyon meets Sacred Geometry meets Look Around You... thank for the cool video :)

[@tenacioustadpole]

Incredibly well done

[@SaltyVibrations]

Oh my god. This is so awesome

[@danielnicksampson]

That cube... O.O

[@benjaminkliewer5425]

Geometry, I hate to admit it but this is why geometry is cool. I feel like going back and studying geometry. What have you done to me sir?

[@vfxsquad511]

you just fix my mood with giving superb idea......Thank youuuuuuu

[@master00booya]

Great video, excellent method

[@jenm6476]

Gorgeous. I’d love to do this. Was looking for large dice for drawer pulls but they just don’t exist. Shame I didn’t understand anything you said. Lol. Absolutely beautiful though.

[@ArtemisInSpace]

Amazing. The Amazing. Thank you for this.

[@LuisBornancini]

Excelent, i would like to know if you can help me get the angles of the X Hocker chair.

[@yessielena1863]

This is so impressive!! 😳

[@themrttttoo490]

Cube was awesome.

[@dvdspndl]

Man that's AMAZING!

[@nichegames9590]

I'm impressed.

[@josefpen]

Congratulations! Nice work.

[@KevinJacks]

another great video, thanks Matthias!

[@KaylaaMariee48]

I feel like I just watched some sort of magic trick. Super cool stuff

[@negatronnortagen8037]

Thanks! Needed this bit of info!

[@Aprendiz-de-Marceneiro]

Beautiful work.

[@awldune]

Very impressive!

[@danielharrison780]

Ok that was mind boggling some clever stuff

[@snarfymcsnarfface2323]

You’ve got your perfect warlock

[@ryanchapman2636]

The cube was genius

[@j.n.-fr5uh]

endlich jmd der würfel erklăren kann ich habe es in der schule nie verstanden aber dank dieses Anleitung verstehe ich endlich wie man des Würfels Werk vollübt!!

[@Kufunninapuh]

This is black magic 😮❤

[@tech10001110101]

How to make a cube? You start with a triangle, make a Mitsubishi logo, turn it into a maraca and crack that bad boy open like a kinder egg and bam, a baby cube.....

[@melasonos6132]

WHAT, you demon sorcerer! That was so cool with the cube in the traingle. I love this video. What kind of saw is that?

[@JustNatax3]

I don't understand anything because I can't math for my life but this is simply great.

[@MagnetTricks]

very satisfying!

[@dariksonnonameson9487]

i am out of words. amazing

[@timzaayer2548]

Simply fascinating

[@xTheFalconx]

I don't understand how you concluded how/where to draw the triangles on the octahedron while making the icosahedron at 7:07, please help!

[@matthiasburger2315]

Use the ratio given at 6:42 ("golden ratio")

[@phooesnax]

So I am thinking traditional joinery is not an issue for you ever then? Of course we already know this having watched all of the other projects! Bravo

[@PeterHedman101]

Beautiful!

[@sosotik]

when you have no dice but you are a woodworker and have a degree in geometry and you want to play dnd

[@willemkossen]

Very nice work! I love the emerging solids from the wood. Interestingly, today i saw the latest video by Ben Brandt who made one of those with a different method.

[@broliclobster5045]

You’re reminding me that I should get out of the shop and start doing my math homework 😅

[@alspezial2747]

is it possible to make a duodecahedron with magnets on each face so that you can put pentagonal pyramids on them and get an icosahedron?

That guy is a magician

[@kilroy79763]

Matthias! My head hurts but excellent job! I started working on a Icosahedron box today...and it turned out ok :-) - Al

[@segrimsjinn]

Sorry could you tell us what size these ended up being and what size wood you started with?

[@rogerconrad8571]

FREAK!!!!!! Months on youtube and I finally find what I am looking for.

[@pacificnorthwestshop5267]

Amazing!

[@MuzikBike]

Any success with the archimedean solids?

[@taylorhendricks4051]

Do you have any videos for a pentagonal trapezohedron?

[@hectorlasso310]

awesome, very nice work!

[@elliottbell5424]

This man is a God damn genius

[@sunriseinspector]

Brilliant!

[@xTheFalconx]

At what angle do you put the 'base plate' at the octahedron? You show the saw angles but not all the plate angles :( I am going to try this myself but I don't understand the angles properly yet! Please help!

[@wallywutsizface6346]

How exactly should I draw the triangles on the faces of the octahedron to make the icosahedron?

[@wallywutsizface6346]

Nevermind, I found an explanation online for how exactly it follows the Golden ratio. Thank you so much for the video!

[@karstenbrandkamp9658]

Thanks for sharing. When making the dodecahedron, what formula do you use to determine the depth of the wood block that's required? Thanks.

[@matthiasburger2315]

See 4:30, I divided the thickness of the board by 2.227 to get the length of the edges.

[@karstenbrandkamp9658]

Thank you. That helps a lot. :)

[@Akumakai]

You forgot the decahedron D: Nice work! Thanks!

[@youtubecensors9453]

Good work

[@ironguard4048]

Hey can you explain in more detail for the first one? It's hard to recreate this myself with so little information, as you see I'm trying to make dice for the board game im selling. Thank you.
