This video is the final part of the how to build a plywood ball series. I will show how I turn the rough 20 sided icosahedron into a smooth sphere.

Thanks for such a good series of teaching videos! We are so fortunate you had an issue with the joint at the end - it gave us a chance to see how you handle issues! Now, I gotta go search for your sanding jig. I made some Dreidel tops a while back an I couldn't figure any way to round them of but your sander would have been perfect.

I’m testing the waters on doing longer videos. Sometimes I tend to over explain things.

This is a fascinating set of videos. I've got to try this. I'm fortunate that I am a wood turner and I've turned solid spheres by hand. Thank you for sharing this

@@ODDBALLGALLERYKeithWilliams I just made 2. I've turned one into a sphere. I've got a few gaps but nothing a bit of CA glue won't sort out. A very enjoyable project. Thanks for your instruction and inspiration

Awesome tutorial. I have made some wooden soccer balls using 32 individual pieces (20 hexagons and 12 pentagons). I’d like to try your triangle method.

@ODDBALLGALLERYKeithWilliams 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks👍🏼 less pieces but still has a cool look. The diameter would be limited unless thicker stock was used.

Молодец! Хорошая работа и хорошее видео,отличный рассказ.Попробуйте сделать из торцевых спилов различных пород дерева,чтобы были видны годовые кольца и результат Вам понравится. Удачи.

Ever consider making one from bamboo plywood? Would be interested to see what external patterns would develop. Great series. Thank you

Thanks 👍🏼 I have never used bamboo plywood. I’ll have to see if I can find some.

it would be further enhanced using spectraply, although more expensive. Nevertheless a great project which I’ll have to try myself. Actually Keith, this was a very clear explanation and demonstration, you are a great teacher.

Thanks for the video, how many times did you fail before you finally got everything down ? I’m amazed with the tools you made

When I first started building the larger spheres, I made about 6 before I had a structurally sound ball. By the 12th attempt I had one that didn’t have a bunch of open joints. I’ve had a lot of practice since then. The ball in this video was the third one I’d built using the icosahedron layout. The 5” spheres are much easier to get right.
