Awesome job! These look really cool.

Thanks for your nice comment :)

Thank you!

Thank you :)

Thanks for your kind comment!

I don’t prefer to give out my email. We can just message through Instructables and I’ll try to help you.

Nicely done with the awesome build and thorough instructions :)

Thank you for your comment! Actually, none of these woods are stained; just wiped on some Feed N Wax. It's pretty amazing to see how much of a difference oil makes, especially for padauk.

Very aesthetically pleasing: I love your wood selection and the slight angle of the box shape.

Haha I’m glad!

Nice and thorough job! Your fingers are much appreciated.

Great job! I love your portion on "no more flats, ever." :) Nice that you thought outside of the box and showed variations.

What a neat technique! Thanks for sharing. I can see them being great for juggling.

The overall aesthetic is awesome and you did an incredible job giving "junk" a new life.

You did a thorough job of explaining everything in your videos. Thanks for sharing! I now know what a Mariotte siphon is; absolutely brilliant.

Nice job! I was worried about hour and minute hand differentiation but then you explained that you used different brightness levels. Did you have any issues if the hour and minute hands were at the same spot, i.e. 3:15, 6:30, etc?

I'm glad it was helpful :)

Thanks!

Thank you! P.S. Cute cat ;)

Dang it, I was low key hoping you wouldn't see this. One may or may not be coming to you soon ;)

De nada!

Coming from a bookbinder, that's a high compliment; thank you!

Very impressive job! The magnetic tensioning blocks are brilliant. Looking forward to a video of it all in action :)

Thanks!

Thanks :)

Good point, one of the most frustrating parts was getting all but one dimension correct and having to restart. Isolating heads would be a smart approach.

Thanks, they were! Frustrating to figure out how to do the stitching, but definitely fun to do while watching videos and multitasking.

Thank you!

Agreed, it does remind me of a genie in a pot.Thanks :)

I actually have made a set, minus the knights (a friend with a CNC mill helped me make them). You're right, they were pretty fun. Slightly frustrating due to the tight height and size needed for uniformity.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Sorry, I don't understand proteus? You can try to find another op amp that has similar characteristics; close enough should be fine.

See step 4, last bulletpoint. The output voltage gets attached to the ground of the Arduino.

Thank you!

Thank you :)

Thanks for your kind comment!

I did end up using food coloring. Sorry for the confusion!

As long as the end shape is symmetric, you can have an internal design that will look different as you rotate, like a gradual swirl. Then just copy and paste the layer several times, line up the outsides, and rotate each layer to get a different look. For example, have the outer shape be a circle and inner shapes whatever you like. Copy that design multiple times and rotate each time so it looks different in each layer. Or you could just enclose everything in the same sized shape, change the size of the internal design as I shown in the tutorial, and that's it.

Hey, sorry for such a late reponse! Feel free to just post it here for all to see and try; I don't care if others see it and build it first.

Try not to use standard wire that you get at hardware stores, since they tend to smell weird and don't look as "pretty". I have always used Darice brand wire that I pick up at a local craft store since it's the most inexpensive and it works well. You do have to be careful not to remove the colored layer of the wire, but that's pretty much the same for all wire that isn't solid (like pure copper or silver wire).

And with that comment you've just made my month. I'm glad to hear that my tutorial is useful for you and that you've been enjoying yourself.

Awesome job! I'm glad you had fun ;)

I found this tutorial for making a texturing tool, using burl bits from Dremel. Doesn't seem to hard and the materials are fairly easy to get. Thanks for the suggestions about shellac: I'll have to try that out sometime... I just tried a clear spray on finish, and it protects the wax to some extent (still can dig it out with fingernails, but better than nothing at all, I'd think). The beehive-shaped thing is just a handle for the barrel trimmer. Sometimes I mount a barrel trimmer in the drill press, but I usually just sand down the face with a belt sander and use the barrel trimmer by hand for better control.
