Hey Nice First Instructable 7Pickle7! Does it work well.!?

So true, watching a square roll so smooth is fun. It's even more fun when you've made it yourself :)

What a good way to win a bet. That would definitely make things simpler.

It does look like a pillow. The trick is making it perfectly round in only 2 directions at a right angle, so it can roll both ways. I'd say it's use Is similar to a top... to play with it, or look at it. It is a mathematical model of 2 intersecting cylinders. Thanks for checking it out.

Yes, the trick is centering it when turning the second direction, or you'll over-turn it, and still have just one cylinder with rounded ends

You're welcome :) glad to hear it.

I am trying to build this. The only question I have is the potentiometer has 3 prongs and only 2 connections in the circuit. Which do I use? I tried middle and one side and I've got nothin working in my setup

cmy wife has a bag like this and she loves it. I think it is pretty awesome as well. good job

thank you :) that one is also my favorite so far.

this is beautiful.

love it! I work with veneer wood a lot too, mostly ring making, I'm restoring a guitar too. I love how you don't see the shades until you turn on the light

Hey Robert, Great plan! it worked great for me. For the ring I made with the stone in it, it is a cubic zirconia gem (about $20) but they look just like diamonds. and with wood, you don't want to risk it falling out, because there's no guarantee. SO, the inside of the ring on this tutorial is what I did. A solid wrap of cherry. You want to use a pretty dense hardwood if it's going to be skinny like that. Anyway, I made the band wide, and then I set the stone and then shaped the rest of the ring around it. I set the stone by first drilling a tine hole all the way through the ring, then a slightly larger one then a slightly larger one, until I got the shape I wanted. I used round diamond dremel bits for this part. But basically the shape I drilled into the ring was like a countersink h...

I used round diamond dremel bits for this part. But basically the shape I drilled into the ring was like a countersink hole for a screw, just the right size for the diamond. For setting it, I put clear epoxy into the hole (only a bit) so it doesn't squeeze out too much, and then I put a bit of super glue over the edge of the gem just a bit so it couldn't get knocked out. Disclaimer, the gem only stayed in for a year. I had to glue it back in. Really gluing anything in won't be REALLY permenant, but as long as it's over the edges, it will last a while. Also, if you want a better drilled hole, you can buy them in the same size as the diamonds specifically for this purpose online, but it didn't really matter since the epoxy formed the inside shape and held to the wood jsut fine.

it will burn first

man you beat me by a week. good work! I was just gonna post the same thing. Super fun.

awesome. nice use of the jack. love it. Man if you like milling machines you'd love this....https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=SP7A1D94FF4FF10854&v=PDPrFJazD3Q

I really like this idea. have you ever printed this ans did it work?

this is super fantastic. voted for you! what a great idea.

Haha you could run a business off of this. everyone needs just one piece back

really great video. Love it

this is amazing. super amazing. where do you suggest starting to learn from scratch-know nothing about learning how to program arduino or raspberry pi.

I'm pretty sure anyone would like playing with this

I love it!

this is fantastic.

:) why thank you

wow. pretty fantastic!

thanks!

thank you. yeah, they are sad little pumpkins.

thanks!

there are millions of planes built like this! lots of people take flat planes to the next level. you merely need enough thrust and control surface area. it flies better upside down this way too, instead of being pulled down by the airfoil.
