Thanks

Thanks!

Thank you. I feel almost lucky to have had the idea. All the inspiration for it seemed to just fall in my lap and with my machining background I knew they could be made pretty easily. Just watched your promo video... good stuff

Thanks man!! Glad you liked it

Cool.. I like that shot a lot too

Thanks, there is some backstory to that shot. Brian and I almost got kicked out since I think we were there at like... 12 or 1 am! You can hear the police walky talkys in the background.

Hey you nailed on the filming too

@@brianaustin9659 Thanks!

Ha sick man

Thanks

Heya, Thanks! Filmed that part with Osmo Pocket. I got a video underway breaking down the techniques I used to create this video. I'm 2 years too late though :D

Thanks

Thanks. Full routine is an off and on project. Most stages are wood and they don't really work well on surfaces with any shock absorption so the venue options would be limited. I've encountered some stages that would work though.and I think it would be beautiful under the right conditions.

Yea man. I did use the grid to line up some patterns

Yea me too... she's a single mother

Ha for stoners? Actually would probably work well for the type of videos you have up.

@@brianaustin9659 :)

@@stonertv8450 yea if for one of those things or something sure go for it

@@brianaustin9659 Cool, thank you

Haha maybe!!! It had crossed my mind but it'll take a while.

:)

She stumped me

These are custom. They're scaled up from a toy called a kururin which are about 3 inches tall. They're the little ones in the beginning. There are also other brands called kwist, jammer, and fidget stick, but I think kururin was the first one.

@@brianaustin9659 Thanks. You go far from 3 inches so much lol You're so creative!!

Juggle... I think. She was a lot smarter than me.

I had considered the hollow inside, but I think they would fall apart easier. Also I'm aware of the ball inside design, but thought it would make them seem gimmicky especially when they work just as well being solid. They weigh about 10 lbs each.

...also from a juggling perspective. I think there wouldnt be as much control over the hollow with ball design cause the manipulation would be done pretty far away from the center of gravity. The solid design, I would guess, is most likely more predictable in it's behavior too.

@@brianaustin9659 thanks a lot! so which wood did you use? 10 lbs for that size seems really light... are they 45 cm tall? I've found on this website (www.instructables.com/id/Kururin-the-Rolling-Stick/) the shape I'm refering to. With a woodworker, I'm doing some tests, and we have tried with a smaller piece (about 27 cm tall) and we had to correct the gauge in order to have the curve of the "belly"[ ->( ] a little bit more accentuated. I think that, if you consider a piece of the same hight, the kurunin's dynamic (and so the shape) could change according to the weight, so the wood you're using. A lighter wood will need a bit stronger curve, a heavier wood the contrary. Have you made any tests like this too? how did you proced with the woodworker to realize the first kurunin?

@@enricomazza3680 I just gave him a drawing with the dimensions that I worked out to my body size and for the tricks and patterns I had planned with them. The radius I figured out from those dimensions and it all worked perfectly. I am working on a routine with them so sorry I'm not giving away the dimensions and material at this point. I will eventually though. Im not a career performer I just want to perform with them a bit before giving it away. It would be cool to see them be a type of juggling/circus prop in the future. I'm sure you can figure something out that works anyway and the video is already out in the world so I'm not gonna try and stop you.

@@brianaustin9659 ok I can perfectly understand you. Thank anyway for all the exchange we had. Hope I can share with you soon some results of these manipulation tests. As well, hope we could keep in touch for other occasion.

These are custom. I drew up the dimensions I thought would work best and found a woodworker with a big enough lathe.

@@brianaustin9659 I plead with you, is there anyway I could acquire a set of these 🙏 please let me know!

@@niedertron7543 Sorry, these were a one-off project and I'm not interested in getting into making/selling them, but I appreciate you liking the prop. If you have access to a lathe it's not too difficult to make your own.

They weigh about 5kg each
