Hello Steve, first off thank you for taking the time to do your videos and explanations. It is without doubt you are one amazing guy with a wicked sense of direction for coming up with these wonderful creations and of course sharing the knowledge on how to make them. I aim to get more done in the workshop after being incapacitated for more more than a year now although it will be a slow process. Your explanations and videos by the way for us mere mortals to achieve the results you strive for are exemplary. Thank you. Could you please tell me where you got the router planer bit from? Regards and best wishes from New Zealand.

Thanks! You can find the planer bit on either amazon or ebay. I hope you can get set up to make some.

I want to try this type of finish. Does this product mix not run or puddle inside
@Steve.Garrison6 ай бұрын
It will puddle, but I hang the shell in a position where it will drip out instead of puddling. Adding the thinner reduces surface tension so it's less likely to bead up and run.

Man, this template works great; amazing doing the geometry for you. I made 5 boards for Christmas. No way I could sell them; takes average 4 hours to mill and glue two 10 inch boards together and I also put side trim on them to keep marbles and dice from rolling out of the board. I'd have to have $100 for one...Thank you so much for sharing this great plan. Steve

Thanks! I'm glad it was useful for you. I realized that they become family heirlooms, so be sure to sign and date it for future generations to appreciate. Good idea to keep marbles from getting away, I dropped one and it rolled under a full china cabinet and it's still there haha! Have fun with it.

Wow. At this point, I'm not really sure what to do with this, other than throw some time into it. It's a bit overwhelming, but boy is it beautiful. Seeing the morphing relationships awy from some of the more common polyhedra really makes it seem as though the well-known/named ones are simply arbitrary. There's an infinite number that remain unconsidered. Geometry is so much more wildly complex than the human mind can ever hope to conceptualize. Blue star pretty.
@Steve.Garrison7 ай бұрын
Thanks! Yes, there are infinite possibilities most of which are concave polyhedra. I have built wooden models of a few of them using Geogebra to calculate dimensions and angles. This model is based on the 2, 3, and 5-fold axis system. My favorites are those with chisel-like 2-fold edges instead of sharp points, I don't think I've seen those before.

I love the microscope attachment but doesn't it drive you crazy to have to make adjustments for each single piece? Wouldn't a really accurate jig be easier? By the way I love your asymmetric dodecahedron boxes.
@Steve.Garrison11 ай бұрын
Thanks! The adjustments to put the reticle on line from one end to the other go quickly once you get the hang of it. Also lining up the coarse reticle on the cut line helps to make the fine adjustments need less adjustment. It is the most precise way I know to get accurate cuts, and is not limited to one specific angle like a dedicated jig would be, and there's no accumulative error. The non-regular polygons have several different angles, but the irregular dodecahedron boxes still have tetrahedral symmetry.

I’m sawing with a bevel angle instead of the blade being square to the table, that makes the bottom side of the cut grow outwards. The segment stays on the uphill side of the blade while cutting.

I'm having issues with the miter cuts. I swing my miter saw to the right, from 0 until it points to 36. Then I make two cuts on each end of my ripped pieces. The first cut is while the piece is laying flat facing down then I turn it over and make another cut making sure to form similar pointy pieces like yours. But when I go to form the pentagon with the mitered pieces, I don't form a full pentagon. If instead of forming the pentagon I attempt to put together three pieces (to from one the vertices of the dodecahedron, like the ones you already have prepped before you start gluing) the three pieces don't seem to fit together nicely. Any advice? My ripped pieces are all 12 inches long.
@Steve.Garrison Жыл бұрын
Each piece will have four 36° miter cuts with the blade square to the table as if you were making a flat pentagon frame. I'd have to see what your construction looks like before I can tell what you're doing wrong. [email protected]

Hi Will. The geometry of the gear blank rolling over the blade produces an involute tooth profile like the classic example of a knotted string unwinding from a cylinder.
