WoodTrick Galaxy Marble Run 1 - the sphere

In this episode, the rotating sphere is built. My first experiences with WoodTrick: The parts sit on sturdy plywood sheets. In particular, the smaller parts are firmly seated. Use the tool to push the parts out of the plate. But be careful. There are often splinters left on the parts, so I sand all the parts. The pictures in the building instructions are not always clear. And you have to pay close attention to the arrows to see what the next step is. It goes criss-cross through the page. So far everything fits well and everything is firmly in place.
I hope I can be helpful to you with these videos. Have fun watching them.
In deze aflevering wordt de roterende bol gebouwd. Mijn eerste ervaringen met WoodTrick: De onderdelen zitten op stevige multiplex platen. Met name de kleinere onderdelen zitten stevig vast. Gebruik de tool om de onderdelen uit de plaat te drukken. Maar ben wel voorzichtig. Er zitten vaak nog splinters aan de delen, dus ik schuur alle onderdelen. De afbeeldingen in de bouwinstructie zijn niet altijd even duidelijk. En je moet goed op de pijlen letten om te kijken wat de volgende stap is. Het gaat kris-kras door de pagina. Tot nu toe past alles goed en alles zit stevig in elkaar.
Ik hoop dat ik jullie behulpzaam kan zijn met deze video’s. Veel plezier bij het toezien.
In dieser Folge wird die rotierende Kugel gebaut. Meine ersten Erfahrungen mit WoodTrick: Die Teile sind auf massiven Sperrholzplatten. Vor allem die kleineren Teile sind fest angebracht. Verwenden Sie das Werkzeug, um die Teile aus der Platte zu drücken. Aber seien Sie vorsichtig. Oft sind noch Splitter an den Teilen, also schleife ich alle Teile ab. Die Abbildungen in den Anleitungen sind nicht immer eindeutig. Und man muss auf die Pfeile achten, um zu sehen, was der nächste Schritt ist. Es geht kreuz und quer über die Seite. Bis jetzt passt alles gut und ist fest zusammengebaut.
Ich hoffe, ich kann Ihnen mit diesen Videos helfen. Viel Spaß beim Anschauen.

I am just about to build this model. At first glance I didn't fancy my chances, but after seeing you do it I feel more confident and raring to go. Much appreciated for doing this video. I'm sure it has and will help many people. Thank you.

Thank you for the compliment. I hope you enjoy building this wonderful marble track as I did.

I received my kit a couple months ago but have not started it yet. I've been looking for a video of the build and just now found yours. I've built a few kits from Wood Trick and for me it's always a big help to watch a video while doing the build. Thank you for sharing this video and when I get started I will be watching this. You earned another sub.

[@leokessels88]

Thank you for the nice compliment 😊 and succes with your build 👍.

Awesome! Thanks for making these excellent videos! I watched your Marble Run Night City video,and it really helped when I built mine. I also like how you show your mistakes, and how you fix them. You're a real asset to KZbin!

[@leokessels88]

Thank you very much for this very nice response. I'm only human, and people make mistakes sometimes. It is therefore only normal to show these errors.

[@steveraywood]

Great vid. And we both broke the exact same piece. I laughed so hard watching that part. I just finished mine last night and was thrilled with the finished product.

[@leokessels88]

😂 Then it is clearly a production error in this kit 😉. I hope it stays with this one accident.

These videos have made my build process significantly easier (I'm halfway through Leo's 2nd video). If you are attempting this build, watch videos 1-7 first. A few tips that I noticed: 1. One of those snap-off hobby knives are indispensible for removing the individual parts. Turn the boards over, and you will see where the parts are attached. All you need to do is snap those tiny connections. Needle nose pliers too - especially if you need to redo some of the connections. 2. Wax/Paraffin is your friend. They don't give you much. I'm using a candle. Sand rough edges too. A few passes is all that is generally necessary. 3. Test fit moving pieces. Make sure the motor can turn the gears in it's housing before mounting it. The build quality of this product is excellent.

[@leokessels88]

👍Thank you for your response and your good tips. They are very helpful. Good luck and enjoy this build.

Hallo Leo, da hast du dir ja wieder ein außergewöhnliches Modell vorgenommen. Das Konstrukt gefällt mir sehr gut. Mal sehen, ob ich mir das auch besorge.

[@leokessels88]

Viel Erfolg! Es ist ein komplexes Bauprojekt. Vor allem, weil die Baubeschreibung das eigentliche Puzzle ist. Aber das ist ein Bestandteil des Hobbys.

[@vegstan]

This is SO helpful! (How did you know to put wax on parts 105 please?) Thank you! Stan

[@leokessels88]

Thank you. I'm glad I was helpful to you with my video. In the instruction manual, when installing part 105, there is a small symbol indicating that lubrication is required. Good luck with building.

[@vegstan]

@@leokessels88 Thank you Leo! Now I see it. So small... Best, Stan

[@vegstan]

Leo, now I see you putting lubricant on part 106, but I do not see any symbol to do that. How did you know please? Thank you!

[@leokessels88]

@@vegstan I use common sense (sometimes). If wooden pieces rub together, they need to be lubricated. I don't need a symbol for that.

[@vegstan]

@@leokessels88 Thank you. I thought that might be the case. I am about to start part 2.
