I don't know how I got this idea into my head, but in this video I am taking on the momentous and possibly impossible task of making a Rube Goldberg Machine OUT OF CLAY. I will make every single part out of clay, from the tile ramps to the dominos to the levers and marbles. Each step along the rube goldberg machine will trigger the next step until at the very end, it will smash a piece of pottery. Enjoy!

This is the most delightful pottery project I've seen in a long time. You need to collab with Simone Giertz and make a super-complicated machine using ceramics and robotics. And HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!!

This was an absolute delight to watch! You're a clay engineer! I love these videos where you explore something a little unexpected with clay.

I’m so amused that you trimmed things back - and then manually made a lip. Looks like an amazing solution to your problem!

You're done with the Pottery Throwdown, so now you're inventing your own challenges lol. It's amazing!

@justlola417 9 ай бұрын

And it makes such a nice sound lol Wait can you make music with something like that? Can you even predict how it'll sound based on the slab thickness or shape? Anyways, great job!

The beginning of this video has big Jenna Marbles energy in the best way. It's wonderful to see how your channel is growing and your videos are getting more ambitious! The end result was so satisfying to watch and to hear. The clinking clay sounds really add something special. Can't wait to see what you make next!

Yes, I’d like to see more Rube Goldberg devices!

@jaynedavis3388 7 ай бұрын

Add a clear plastic or glass panel so the ball stays in & then add a lip in front of the pot at the bottom so it smashes better

@cmpooperpcgaming2062 8 ай бұрын

this is insane, domino effect is awesome in clay form😅

@alans1816 9 ай бұрын

This was great. I like all your videos, but your enthusiasm here made it particularly fun. The sound of the ball rolling and dropping was the best part of this machine. I wouldn't have expected useful lessons from a Rube Goldberg machine build, but your technique for building a large structure will come in handy: as tiles with features made spanning several tiles and then cut apart for firing. Brilliant.

Clear plexiglass over the front with hinged door so you can put pot to be crushed in. Would finish it nicely.

@jojorengers5368 9 ай бұрын

What a fun project! If you are doing another one then try to let the tiles make sound. In the try run you heard a very nice noise coming from the tiles but after fixing them together the noise was dull. Maybe working together with Laura kampf? To make a lift so the ball would return to the starting position.

And in the end it worked! Wow. 👏 love the last run when the ball smashed the little vase completely. Thanks for this nice video 👍 And oh, happy belated birthday😊

@simonewilliamson6766 9 ай бұрын

I hope your birthday was lovely! And your device is great fun to watch in action! I will make a small suggestion in case you want to save the lives of those cute little vases, try switching the balls around. Or make the last ball smaller. But I understand if you really enjoy smashing stuff, lol.

I do love watching you go through the process, it's funny because I'm so much like that myself. I call myself more whimsical because I don't do straight lines or precision very well, I'm a little impatient, so when I have a challenging commissioned project ( if I don't give up halfway through)... it really pushes me to finish. But you did it, you finished and it's incredible! You are such a joy to watch . Ich wünsche dir einen wundervollen Tag!!

@seethedeo 8 ай бұрын

Truly such a lovely personality and vibe! People can sometimes tell when things are scripted, but I have feeling that most, if not all of your reactions are truly genuine and in-the-moment. And it's about the best part of life - making plans you want, and finding a way to make due when things go unexpectedly, all while just enjoying the experience. Thanks for the smiles, gave you a like and sub. Cheers!

@kappagrapes 4 ай бұрын

What an absurd contraption. I absolutely loved it. I wonder if there's a good way to support these pieces while they dry, so they warp less? I guess it would be hard to add the right kind of support without just making it harder for them to dry out...

This was a great video. You should do more like this. So much joy! Mia, you definitely, definitely have the brain of an engineer. I understand the way you think and plan and obsess at night about your how projects should proceed because I do exactly the same thing (and yes, I’m an engineer). So satisfying when it all comes together!

Excellent! Video and contraption! Well done! Now I’ve seen it, I think I would lay the pot over so the ball has a better chance of breaking, and/or making the final drop a bit higher to give the ball more force. But that’s just me being picky. Great watch Ing you, no matter the outcome

She was stressing about mug handles exploding in her kiln & I told her to watch your video about moisture causing explosions instead of trapped air. I’m mentioning it because she wrecked a design she liked for that reason & it made me so sad
