Rolling Balls Switch - RBS5 - EP 8

Watch me engineer a filp flop switch for my latest rolling ball sculpture. I use copper wire, some copper tubes, a little bit of threaded rod and a lot of careful soldering.
Hope you enjoy the video.
Happy Christmas to everyone who has discovered me beavering away in my little corner of the internet. Mwah ! xx

Have you ever soldered the alligator clip to you work? I did -finally, recently. Love your videos. Cheers.!!.

[@CopperGravity]

Haha. I’ve not done that yet. Whoops.

[@joaofilippini4298]

Good evening, could you tell me what type of soldering iron you use to solder tin to galvanized wire. Your work and teaching are excellent, CONGRATULATIONS. Grateful.

[@CopperGravity]

Check description for soldering details. I use a resistance solder iron. Thanks for your comment. 🙏🙏

[@danalandin2255]

Love following your progression. I have made 4 rolling ball sculptures. You can see one of them on KZbin under “danas rolling ball sculpture”. Personally I used glass marbles instead of the metal heavier balls. Metal balls made to much noise, as we’ll create down the road quicker wear on joints being heavier.

[@CopperGravity]

Hi. Thanks for the comment. You sculpture looks great!

[@Sinjinator]

Personally I love the arrows. They look classic.

[@24ology]

What’s the most suited solder to use for this application? Great content

[@CopperGravity]

Hi. I use lead free Sn99.3 Cu0.7 rosin core 0.6mm

[@reyesmagos9190]

Hi I love it, thank you for sharing, I am from Mexico, I would like yo start on this, I wonder what is the name of the welding machine that you are using It is not the traditional electric heath stick?

[@CopperGravity]

Hey. Thanks for contacting me. I use a resistance solder iron. There is a link in the description and I have two videos on what I do.

[@bobhuber6628]

Looking very nice! Glad to see you going both in and out of the lifting circumference. Merry Christmas!

[@CopperGravity]

Thanks Bob. You too. 🎄

[@славагригорьев-м7ш]

What kind of soldering iron does he use?

[@CopperGravity]

Hi. Resistance Solder. There is a video link in the description below. 👇

[@MicrobyteAlan]

You guessed it, I’m binge watching. 👍👍

One year later, so am I!

[@santafefolklorica]

Merry chistmas!!!

[@CopperGravity]

Thanks. You too.

[@fredericapanon207]

Joyeux Noël! Interesting that you seem to be using a blowtorch to solder right now instead of the resistance soldering earlier in your series.

[@CopperGravity]

Hello. I use the blow torch for tubes, rods, plate and bigger wire when I feel that the resistance iron is too weak. I also like using it as it challenges me a bit.

[@casrolo6225]

Hi, what are the measurements of the balls?

[@CopperGravity]

Hi. These ones are 5/8 inch.
