Nice and simple, I like the way these tables turned out. Well done! :)

Very nice! You really can make a lamp out of anything. Great instructable, thanks for sharing this! :)

Good info, nicely done on your first instructable :)

Very nicely done!!

Very nicely done!

This looks delicious. Very nicely done! :)

Awesome! Very very cool to see.Thanks for taking the time to share some details and photos. This was a not an easy project so major props to you for taking it on! :)

Whoa, cool!You're the first person I've seen make one, so this totally makes my day :) Did you end up lasering all the parts? If so, how did it all go? I'm very curious how the build went for you . . if you feel inclined to share some details that would be really interesting. It looks great though, and I'm super happy to see that you made one!!

Very clever project. I like it! :)

Simple, fun idea. Nicely done!

Beautiful work! I've made a few dozen cornhole sets over the years, and this looks cooler than any I made. You're rightfully proud! :)question though: did the multiple board edges kind of ruin the ability to throw low-angle sliders? If the boards are all perfectly flush, it wouldn't be a problem I guess. But I'm curious about how the boards played.

The machine zigzag stretched out the area where the white belly meets the body, and made it wavy. If I made another, I'd hand sew it to avoid that issue, but also so all visible stitches were done by hand, just for sake of uniformity. That's the reasoning for me, but I think a straight machine stitch would work just fine. Good question - sorry for the slow response!

Very nicely done. I quite like this style, and it was good to see these installation tricks! thanks :)

Mine's still rock solid almost 3 years in with daily usage. I'm looking forward to seeing how yours turns out. Best of luck with it! :)

There's definitely some etiquette required when sharing puzzles with people. The goal should never be to show off or make people feel stupid. Some people appreciate interesting physical and mental challenges, but they have to be shared in the right way for them to be any fun for the receiver.

If you end up making one, please share a photo - I'd love to see it : )Thanks for checking out my instructable and commenting!

Excellent instructable! Very nicely done, all around.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Oh my, now that's an excellent puzzle!!Added that to my list of puzzles to make. Thank you for sharing the link! :)

Very nicely done, I like the way this turned out. Good, solid little project! :)

That's a beautiful board. Well done, and thank you for sharing the process! :)

Nicely done, I like it! :)

This is my favorite design so far. Nicely done!!

Very nice! I picked up one of those same sabur discs a while back, but have yet to use it. I got the coarse one (orange) . . and it's a gnarly looking beast of a tool!!

Yes . . I linked to that video in the intro of my impossible nail block instructable that I posted last year, and I outlined the differences. While mine and Steve's wood blocks are a similar idea, we have completely different outcomes reached with completely different methods. And we both "cheated" ;)

Please do it, and share your results when you've successfully done what you're proposing. I'll send you a robot t-shirt if you successfully bend a block of wood and get a nail inside. You must duplicate the exact results I have here, but without breaking the block.

This version is literally impossible by bending the wood with hot water. I would love to see someone prove me wrong.Technically, all illusions are created by "cheating" in some way. Bend it, break it, boil it, modify it, rebuild it... etc.

Hi there!Check your private message box - I'll send you links to each of the newsletters we sent out around that time, and hopefully you'll be able to spot the project you're looking for. Cheers!Sam (seamster)Instructables Community Manager

This is so cool! Nicely done!! :)

Looks great!This is one of my favorite little brain puzzles. Nicely done your version! : )

Hey buddy!I saw that this morning. Nicely done! :)

Awesome. I hope everyone leaves their spinners home and hooked up to a machine to get spun . . . because, as you said: SPINNER HAS TO BE SPINNEDExcellent video and Instructable. So clever and well done!! :)

Whoa!!That is going to be quite massive. I hope you'll share all the details when it's done! : )

This is a clever solution. I've got super-wide feet too, and always wear side holes in my shoes with my pinky toes, on 4E shoes. This might be the answer to how to extend the life of my own favorite NB shoes!! Thanks a bunch :)

Excellent!

The omelette flipper is a great idea. But I have to admit, your lathe/disc sander kind of steals the show - that looks amazing!!

Hey, you're very welcome!I think you might be the first person who's made this project. It's awesome to see! Thanks for the comment and photo.

Looks easy enough to duplicate the idea . . although I'd need to make a much bigger version for myself! This would be loads of fun for smaller kids to make some temporary boats to putter around in pools and ponds (with life jackets of course). Great idea, and nicely presented :)

It's okay. I know his address and could get him back!

Gorgeous work! Great instructable too, thank you for sharing all the details.

This is a great idea. I need to make a round sander just like this!! Thanks for the steps, John. Excellent instructable.

This is really impressive! Did you have a specific application in mind to where you plan to use this? Or is it just a proof-of-concept sort of thing? Either way, it's great! :)

Thanks! I was initially going to just photograph a pile of nails . . but then inspiration struck! :)

Thank you for sharing the details, this is very interesting!

Nicely done! :)

Please do - and be sure to leave a note for the author and let him know your thoughts! :)

This is a really impressive project. Very nicely done!!

Ha! Great minds think alike! I had been planning to make a fidget spinner with clay fingers and calling it a "Digit Spinner", but you beat me to that idea. I got a real kick out of seeing that this morning :)

Thank you for your great comment! This is such a good little puzzle. From what I've read, it's supposedly been around for at least 150 years.

Me too! Thanks for checking this out :)

This is a great solution to a common problem. I need to make one of these for our easy-up canopy - I always end up carrying that thing through parks and campgrounds!!

That's a digit spinner!

These look delicious! A scoop of vanilla ice cream and handful of these would make quite the dessert I think. mmmm!

Great tips! I love that that you're sporting the Instructables robot shirt in your "Wear Comfortable Clothes" step. Awesome!! : )

This is really impressive! Do you want to upload and share the laser files (if you own them), so other people can duplicate what you've done? That would be awesome if you did! :)

Hey, this is looking nice. If you wanted to just put all the steps to the entire project into one, single instructable . . I think that would help this get more attention. Just a thought! ;)

Very nice, looks like fun! :)

Very nice! If you found a way to make the front act like a hinged door, that would push this over the top. Nicely done! :)

Great instructable! This turned out looking really nice, and solid - like it would hold up just fine at a rowdy concert! ;)

This is a pretty simple, but clever idea. Do you happen to have any photos of these in use in real life? If so, that would be awesome to see! :)

I'm going to have to give this a try. Thank you for sharing your technique!

Ha! Very clever! :)

Good info, thank you for sharing!

Great techniques, excellent instructable! :)

Hmm, I'm not sure. Do you mean like the bearings shown in steps 3 - 7, or a different style? Either way, I'd almost always opt for a good soak in solvent and a scrub over any attempts at a full disassembly. I showed it here and have done it a few times, but generally it doesn't seem worth the extra trouble.

Ah ha - I used a double negative. I'll swap that word out to say "appreciable" instead!

Ha ha, you're welcome. Just trying to drive a little business your way! :)

Great comment, thank you.Yeah, for industrial applications there are much quicker and more potent options for degreasing. For these spinner toy/skate bearings, I tried to use only stuff young kids like mine might have access to and could use relatively safely.

Ah, sorry that wasn't clear. NO lube is reapplied whatsoever. For this specific usage in a spinner toy, the goal is to make the bearing spin fast. Since there's essentially no load on the bearing, there's no need for lubrication; all lubes I've tested literally just get in the way and slow things down. Perhaps some professional spinners will disagree. But if there actually are such people, I would feel safe questioning their judgment ;)

Good tips, thanks. Many types of bearings are stainless steel - I'm not sure what all of mine are, but I've seen no rust as a result of the methods I've used here. I've found that for these silly spinner toys my kids have, no lube is the best lube, and makes for fun, fast-spinning toys.
