LOVE your use of Pi and Geometry to calc the circumference! What a beautiful build. I wish I had a large enough yard and tree to make this!

You can't go wrong with Voronoi patterns! Nicely done w the machining. I'm sure it's be good in wood, too! Couldn't tell what went wrong w/o removing the parallels - just that they're in the vice.Bravo!

Beautiful build! I love how you used a 5-gallon pail lid for a mold! Brilliant. The wood with the finish is one of the best steps in wood working, right?!

Ha ha ha! I need to make a bunch of these for my new-parent friends!

This is such a good way for my son's rock collections - of which, they all look the same otherwise! Thanks for posting!

I turned a similar rocket shape for a mold - it was 24" long and about 8" in diam. Almost killed me when it flew off the lathe at one point because the glue hadn't dried to the middle at the time (very wet wood and gluing - bad combo!). After waiting two weeks, the wood was dry enough to turn. I showed it off and folks asked, "Is it an ear of corn?!" AaArgh... I also turned smaller ones for booster rockets. I will make a 2-part mold of this, and use it to blow a glass rocket-lamp shape with glass boosters. The base is a conical french fries basket - which generated the idea. Amazing what trips the imagination, eh?

You can perhaps redesign your halves to dovetail (like they do for laser cut boxes) and / or have a slight overlap so it'd be easy to remove with the flaps. I'd just print those along the edges of the hemispheres. Or maybe friction fit the halves, but leave a flap connection at the bottom to allow separation and reconnection.

Does this little bot really seek light or is it just moving and the solar power allows it to move by charging it? I mean, the video would have been great if the bot was placed in the shade and showed it moving toward the sunlight. That was sort of what I was expecting with the title of your 'ible.

Ah, yes, that makes sense if it can't generate enough power to move when in the shade. The title then might be more like - sun-facing bot vs seeking ... ?

OMG! How FUN is this!?!? I love that it moves things without them being touched - like magic. Well, that's what makes magnets fun, right?

Like make it GREEN for bright ideas, BLUE if you're bored, and RED if you're angry! It would certainly make for amusing ZOOM calls!

Whoooohoooo! Thank you!

Ah, you won't lose my vote! Ha haha! I love hearing G'day as an "exotic!" touch... Well, done, and in Japan!!! Where?

I've found the table saw gives better and more consistent cuts for thin bands than the bandsaw. I'm even using the 1" wide bandsaw and it still leaves a lot of jitter on the surface which I'd have to sand down with the drum sander, whereas I don't have to do that with the table saw. Nice colorful wood, btw.

Oh, I sure could have use something like this for my black walnut trunk! Good one!

I was debating whether it'd be more efficient to have vertical storage for long narrow things or easier to lift if it's horizontal. I like how your cart is mobile since some of the scraps can get heavy!

Nice woods! I'm sharing this with my wood shop buddy who makes a lot of hand tools!

And I was JUST making a jig for something else - this is perfect!

How heavy is the portable one? Now to find a CNC plasma cutter...

Brilliant! I was trying to come up with JUST a waterfall, and then you came up with fire AND water - with SOUNDS! OK, You got my vote.

This is sort of like the Japanese growers for their precious perfect melons!!! They elevate them so there's no "ground bruising" but I like YOUR idea way more as it's a space saver. It's amazing how much space melons, pumpkins and squashes take up and making them vertical - brilliant! I ditto what doo da do said - You're the OOtB thinker!

Beveling the end of the laminates - hmmm, I'll have to give that a go! What a marvelous idea for re-use of wood blinds! Now to go on a hunt ...

I wonder how to make a circle without making a hole in the middle. I guess I could fill it in.

Beautifully made - and, you're right - so easy!

That closet pegboard is even MORE fantastic!

What a masterpiece and perfect entryway for your studio to show what you can do! Impressive beyond belief! The basketweave pattern and all those diagonals are challenges you took on and WON! Great job.

What a great idea! I love pegboards, but they DO take up so much wall space. I'm visualizing a closet of peg board sliders!

I'm looking at the picture but am not sure what to see!? Brilliant idea for moving the slabs!!! I'm a woodworker, and slabs are great, but some are pretty heavy. This is such a simple way to easily move so may lengths of slabs - good work!

Good on you for doing this for your mom! It's a good function for anyone who can't reach the cord, too.

Impressive! One would think that if it's that strong, bulletproof vests would be made of this material!

How strong is this wallet? I mean, is it as strong as leather? Also, can it be laminated into several layers to added strength?

Really well done! Bravo!

OMG - what a great idea as my fan light has a CF bulb and the cover is some cheap clip that goes on the bulb. Since the CF is spiral, the cover doesn't sit at all well. This method would totally solve the problem and provide a nice-looking cover!

SO smart! Great design and easy to use. Now, how to open the Coconut!

Amazing this was done by hand - versus a laser cutter, which is what I would have done. Good idea for the spacers - makes it even more dimensional.

LOL! The things we have to do for our craft ...

Oh, man, I wish I'd seen this earlier as I would have shown this to my woodshop campers to make! Great job.

Wow, what a truly simple and elegant solution! I have access to lots of wood so this would be a good build! Thanks for posting!
