Very nice. Thanks.

But there would be gold dust produced and lost.

Very nice simple design.

Nice design. And nice descriptive name. ;)

Very nice, clean design. I love the end result. It does seem like a lot of work though. I didn't know that Dremel had that circle cutting thing. I'll have to find a use for that. Thanks.

We're moving to a new house soon. I'm going to build a few things very much like this.

Solid! In more ways than one. Great design.

Cool idea. And nice instructions. Thanks. True upcycling.

Very cool idea. Thanks.

Woah. I will enjoy this vicaroiusly. Thanks.

Thanks!

Thanks. Space age, yes. Could have also called it atomic age or mid century modern. I can see that it would take some effort to figure out what wass going on with the parts. I didn't take any close-ups.

Wow. That is beautiful. And it doesn't hurt that the actual creature is stunning to begin with.

Great idea. Very expensive look. And nice design.

Nice. I like the look of plywood too. So many ways to highlight it. Try bamboo plywood some time.

Nice design. Thanks. And nice shop.

Nice presentation. Thanks. I'm wondering if one could be made with 3 hubs and the rods bent into a Z. Would be challenging to bend the rods with the middle hub in place. Will I attempt it? ?

Very creative. And great photos!

Wow, that is beautiful. I love how you broke this down into shapes that are relatively easy to cut. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Thanks.

Wow. Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks much. Instructables inspired me.

Thanks. That is a great way to interpret it. Actually, after it was complete, I imagined that rather than the planets being held in orbit by the sun, they were being controlled by an external, hidden structure.

Yeah, what a lousy comment! Not everything needs to be functional. These are great as is.

Very beautiful concept and design. Thanks.

That is beautiful! And a good concept to base variations on. Thanks.

That is a nice idea, to make a dime store (dollar store?) version. I think several layers of corrugated cardboard would work.I would suggest making it a full circle rather than the the partial I did.Skewer sticks could be used in place of the rods.The class could decide whether to include Pluto or not, and whether it went inside or outside of the circle.The most challenging part would be the spheres. Styrofoam balls would be the easiest, but environmentally unfriendly, choice. Paper mache?

Thanks WORMSS. Here is Pluto, relegated to outsider as it should be. (I don't really have a strong opinion on whether Pluto is a planet or not)

Thanks. You're right. The solar system traveling as a team through the univerese.

Thanks. The sandwiched panels and the alternating end grain is what most appealed to me.

Thanks!

Thanks, Alex. That's a very good idea.

Thanks! I think for a classroom something more accurate would be better. Do a search for Orrery. I'm thinking of making on of those following instructions on Instructables.

Great idea. Thanks

Beautiful design work.

That is really cute! Thanks.

Wow. I love it. A great aggregation.

Wow. Excellent. I dont have the skills to build this but I enjoyed reading about it. The blade design is beautiful. Thanks for posting.
