ROKR Luminous Globe - Full Assembly - 8 Hours

[@michaeltavenner4750]

Enjoyed putting the globe together with you... your Dad, and your friend. I ran into some of the same building problems as you did, so the video was very helpful and entertaining. Ended up completing the whole puzzle in one sitting, about 6 hours total. Next up .... the rubber band machine gun. Keep up the good work, and tnanks again!

[@Johnrap]

All sounds good. Thank you. I've got a Winchester rubber band gun on the way in the mail. Will probably do that soon, if not next.

It's at least reassuring that everybody else who's making this is having the same difficulties in the same spot, namely, connecting the foot of the globe to the gear and other rings. I'm going to have to go over your video several times to see if I can figure it out. You are a lot of help, given the poor quality of the instructions and illustrations.

[@Johnrap]

I cut the piece that wouldn’t fit. Basically snipped out the part that was making it difficult. Maybe it’s weaker now, but it works.

[@cboyle1487]

This is going to be immensely helpful! Thank you for posting it.

Your Video was a great help for me when I built the globe. Thanks a lot for sharing!

[@maddienelson7524]

i just got this for my 13th birthday and just got a little stuck with the globes frame. Thanks so much for the help!!!!

[@Johnrap]

Glad you like it. It’s one of the better models out there and functional after built, either as a globe, or just a light.

[@maddienelson7524]

@@Johnrap I have been getting these ROKR gifts for my birthday for the past four years so i also have three other models I just find them so much fun to build 😁 also when you attach the globe to that disc thing (i don't know what its called) i used my screwdriver to poke it into place

[@Johnrap]

Cool, and true. I’ve done a few ROKR models myself, the ROKR 3D Pinball being the most memorable.

[@maddienelson7524]

@@Johnrap I saw that one it looked really cool 😅

[@panefp22135]

i had this shipped internationally and it didn’t come with wax so i couldn’t help but ask whether it’s super necessary or not and if it is, where could i get it from?

[@Johnrap]

Either a tea candle or clear crayon should do, or any wax really.

[@panefp22135]

@@Johnrap thanks so much!

[@EnganchandoLectores]

I really like the video. Did you manage to flip the globe so the gears work?

[@Johnrap]

As I recall I had the gears at least somewhat working.

[@EnganchandoLectores]

@Johnrap I finished my puzzle today. Your video was really helpful. Thanks.

[@Johnrap]

@@EnganchandoLectores Congrats! Glad that worked out for you. It's a quality puzzle.

[@KayleyKirby-c9b]

Hey, you know the part of the globe you had trouble with 3.02.55 -3.20ish mark how did you overcome the parts not fitting, I literally can’t get my ahead around it? Many thanks your video has really helped me

[@Johnrap]

I cut the pieces of wood that run across the bottom. Basically, cheated.

[@lewisnicolls7933]

Alright, starting my journey a year after your video. Lets see what we can do.

[@Johnrap]

Good luck!

[@Better12.]

Why is this video so long just show me how to build it

[@Johnrap]

Sorry. I’m working on editing and learning how to present this better. But I’m still very new at it.

[@boblawrence5011]

Hi, just started assembling this globe and following your video. I am at stage 1 feeding A12 then A11 then F2 then A12 over the wire, it’s about 51.31 into your video, but then you go onto another part of the assembly and seem to miss a crucial part which is glueing A12 to A11 and F2 to A12. Did you do this further into the video please.

[@Johnrap]

It wouldn't surprise me if I missed a crucial step.

[@tatar4Jesus]

Nice!

[@matthewfurnival8410]

I cant get the sheets to go into their respective slots, been trying for around an hour now and they just feel to short keep poping back out every time I go to put enough in, at this point im considering gluing them down but that defeats the purpose 😅

[@Johnrap]

Been there. If the room you are working in is hot and humid that can cause problems.

[@matthewfurnival8410]

@Johnrap managed it in the end, took almost an hour, and I needed more hands than I have, but once they were in place, I quickly pushed them up to the gears to make sure they couldn't come lose again.

[@sandrahealey8515]

If you want to listen to him having conversation with his mate, then it’s for you, found him very rude

[@raymondvaughan9268]

Stick to doing the Assembly, leave politics out of this

[@Johnrap]

My channel is not monetized. No-one is paying me to do this. Must I do a job for no pay and also keep my mouth shut? Am I a slave? Even if I was a slave would I not still be a human being with human rights, including freedom of speech? You can mute the video and play music if you don’t like it. Or, I can send a link to you and you can chat while I assemble. Seriously, you are welcome.

U should listen some joe rogan podcast they are really 👍 thanks for the video!

[@Johnrap]

Rogan is popular enough. He doesn't need me as a listener. Thanks all the same though.
