Pop-Up Tutorial 53 - Dissolve Type 2 - Pull-tab 8

[@deiaraki]

I finally did it. I wanted to do this idea on a 44x66cm paper so I had to place the dimensions on Sketchup and applied the "scale" tool. I learned few things in the process: 1) 3:24 don't cut the immovable piece like a rectangle. Instead cut like there's a "w" underneath just like the original folding 1:30. This design allows you slide the pieces and it's harder for them to come out 2) don't glue the pieces. Start using a tape, test it, adjust it if needed then you glue it. I lost count the amount of times I needed to adjust. 3) you want a very rigid pull strip, so fold it more times than 2. This whole thing took me 4 days. 4 days to make the prototype (original size), then tracing the dimensions on skechup and cutting the pieces, carefully glueing them together, then stopping everytime it got stuck to figure out what hapenned. I'm so glad it's over. My back hurts, I wouldn't do it again but I don't regret it.

"A bit naughty " LOL. I appreciate your rebellion.

This was one case where I thought the end justified the means!

Thank you so much for your generosity. This is gold.

Welcome!! I missed you... I bought your book, and your videos help me very much. Thank you for your fantastic work!!

[@kikigiftshop]

I want to thank you so much for all your video's ... they are really helpful , explaining every thing very nicely ... and amazing idea that u show how they use all pop-up's in there book's that's what make it really fun and inspiring

[@azrielerrazo6212]

Im trying to study this one for my daughter's project... Hope i can make it!😍 Thanks for the tutorial sir duncan!

[@craftsattack3682]

Sometime it feels like it's more of a paper engineering work 😊 thank you for explaining it so well 😊

[@cadyfitzgerald3273]

Thank you so much for this video! I just made my sister a birthday card following your instructions and I’m so pleased with it!! 😊

[@akshat.avasthi]

Wow, Again a new tutorial You are providing great information about pop-up in a simple way. All about pop-ups at one place, amazing.

[@claywoman9132]

--Thank you, Ive tried taking pop up cards apart to see how they work lol. Ive always loved them and flipbooks and old things like these!

[@lilyofthevalley9819]

I spend every night quite a long while, watching YOUR amazing videos! THANKS ( i do have your books as well)

[@salisuladze5995]

Thank you again ❤️ I discovered so many things by your videos

[@user-pz4do4sj6x]

you are brilliant , king of pop up👑

[@pinkpinsofpain]

Your vids make my day!

[@ifycollinspepability1965]

Thank you so much Mr. D. B, you are indeed doing a great job with all your tutorials. This particular mechanism seems a bit technical but i have been able to understand it with your tutorials but please i would love you to do a tutorial on the DAVID CARTER method in his book ELEMENTS OF PAPER ENGINEERING... it seems less technical compared to the 2 videos on this same mechanism... But above all you are doing a great service to humanity... THANK YOU 👏👏👏👏😀😀😀😀

[@thepop-upchannel4919]

Do you mean Carter's book "The Elements of Pop-Up"? No need for me to do a tutorial as all the mechanisms in his book are very well explained.

[@ifycollinspepability1965]

You are certainly right about that.... Thanks so much for your time and efforts to share

[@tataesuashistorias3766]

I'm glad I could get this type of dissolve to work, the other one is still giving me a little bit of trouble. Question: To scale these examples, should I just mutliply some of the measurements, or is there another thing I should take into consideration? I ask because I'm a storyteller and I want to create a book that would allow people from a considerable distance to still see the popups while following the story. Many thanks, and greetngs from Brazil!!!

[@thepop-upchannel4919]

I think just scaling them up should work fine. Maybe just try making a big one as a test before you go to all the trouble of illustrating it The other one needs to be cut out with a very sharp blade - any roughness along the edges will make it inclined to stick. At first it can be a little hard to move anyway - the more you can get it moving the more smoothly it will go on to move.

[@tataesuashistorias3766]

@@thepop-upchannel4919 Thanks I'll take these into consideration! By the way can't appreciate you enough for taking the time to answer, but most importantly to get me into geometry again, something as a kid gave me chills XD. But really, your classes are very helpful and a joy to follow.

[@marpatmarver]

Definitely going to try this one

[@itsukiyuuto3509]

I'm so greatful that I iscovered this chsnnel

[@denniscastroperez1766]

First of all thanks for your videos are excellent. I would like to know after a book or postcard has been made how it should be prepared to be sent to be manufactured, where it can be made and what materials are commonly used.

[@thepop-upchannel4919]

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to these questions - I think most pop-up books are manufactured in China - as for preparation and materials I should think publishers of pop-up books would be able to tell you.

[@narmadaselva7231]

Amazing sir.I liked it very much.

[@vikjohn]

Ok, I've successfully created this piece. Now, my tasks is to get the working with actually images instead of colored paper. Do you have a tutorial for that or any advice??

[@thepop-upchannel4919]

There isn't a tutorial on applying images. On this particular mechanism the pieces of card overlap slightly so you need to have two copies of the image to accomodate the overlap. So...it might be easier if you are drawing the image onto the card rather than sticking images on.

[@yunyizhu8358]

Thank you for the videos!!!

[@malkghaly1608]

Thank you for all yours vido

[@fatimanaqvi2976]

Thank you for sharing you skill ...

[@deedeegibson8338]

Can you post a PDF of the template for this mechanism? I asked the same for the other dissolve, too:-)

[@nangananga3495]

Amazing!

[@yvette.3075]

When creating this, do you do the cuts with your image or do you make the cascade and glue your image to the shape of the flaps? Thank you for your videos!

[@thepop-upchannel4919]

I'd probably add the images after I'd made the whole thing and got it working smoothly. I checked the copy of the Meggendorfer book that I show in the video - in that book a narrow strip of the images extends on down below the cut edges, so to make one exactly like that you would need two copies of of those narrow strips of each image. Not really a problem if it's going to be hand drawn.

[@yvette.3075]

@@thepop-upchannel4919 thank you, that makes sense now, hopefully I'm successful 🙂

[@yvette.3075]

I made one!! I used a magazine picture for practice. I did learn, it helps to make it completely without the image glued and then measure what is visible on both and cut accordingly. I went off the slides and the sliding image didn't match up😕

[@thepop-upchannel4919]

Might be best to use hand drawn images so that yoou can extend them where necessary.

[@stefanoturriani3653]

Hi. I was looking for the manual you shyly flash on this video, for a moment and I realized it is out of print. Only one second hand copy unrealistically offered by a shop at about 300 pounds. Would you consider reprinting it? I saw you have published some new ones but I assume they are not updated reprints, but rather containing some new material. Is my assumption correct? Thank you

[@thepop-upchannel4919]

Hi, The book "Pop-Up! A Manual of Paper Mechanisms" was written before I understood pop-up the way I do now. You could almost say I didn't really understand it! It is a sort of menagery of pop-up mechanisms. The working method involves a lot of measuring and a lot of instructions ..." stick A to A; stick B to B.....etc." The second book "Pop-Up Design - How to Make Folding Paper Sculpture" was written about ten years later and covers more or less the same material in a much deeper way. I understood pop-up much better, most of the mechanisms can be made and adapted without measuring. It is much easier to use. It does include the theory but in a user friendly way. If you want to have a look I think you'll find the first one on - www.scribd.com/doc/301567182/Pop-Up-design-and-paper-mechanics - I didn't authorise the putting of the material on line and I've never really tried looking at it but you could try it.

Perhaps you could sell the templates for we mere mortals to download on Etsy or your website 😂😂 thanks for the tutorial

[@thepop-upchannel4919]

There are no templates - I hope that the explanations in the tutorials are clear so that you can draw up your own designs.

[@jmlondonltd]

@@thepop-upchannel4919 yes they are very helpful thank you. It was only a suggestion on a way to generate revenue from your videos as I’m sure people would pay to download them.

There are no templates - every tutorial explains how to make your own.
