Wood Turned Bamboo Death Star
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 05. 2016
- May the 4th be with you! I have wood turned a Death Star out of bamboo plywood. The build consists of making two segmented halves that seam together at the trench. Each half is made of 9 rings. Each ring has 13 segments. (13 seemed like an evil number). There is one extra ring to help the two halves overlap at the seam. The superlaser dish was turned separately. The hole in the Death Star and the profile of the dish were cut on the CNC router to allow to two to fit together.

+Troy Cook lol
frank howarth May the fourth-Oh wait I don't care about Star Wars.
This will make a fine addition to my collection...
Cut the chatter red 2
Possibly the single best video on CZcams.
Mr2at I agree. It’s good to see stuff like this amongst all the crap.
OSCAR for Best Woodworking Video, OSCAR for Best Sound Effects Carpinteria, OSCAR Best Editing, Congratulations from Venezuela MTFBWY
+Manuel Delgado thanks
Nooo, thank you for introducing this excellent video, seems directed by Lucas
Just brilliant, both the video, and the comment!
+Manuel Delgado if it were directed by lucas, it would have had jar jar binks in it
+Manuel Delgado lol
I don´t know what is more amazing. You video editing or your craftmanship.
We can't repel choices of that magnitude!
my six year old says "I think I want to do that, it looks kind of easy" Love this one Frank!
It's a loot of work
The mark of a true craftsman is to make it look easy. Don't let hard work discourage you.
Amazing!
Hi Peter.
+Peter Brown Hi y'all.
+Melle Haanen Hi Melle
+Nathan Anderson Hi Nathan
Ayeeeeee. You watch him too
G'day Frank, I've got to say, your work is amazing, and so entertaining! May your Lathe Chisels always be sharp, and easy to find. Cheers.
That's no moon....it's a lathed station.
+AtenRa lol, very clever :)
I can just imagine how much Frank was chuckling to himself with some of those shots in the shop! Awesome video Frank!
10:18 mins well spent! wood watch again!
Pity bamboo is a grass
first, this is an amazing piece... and second, I hate to admit this because I'm 40 years old, but I had a complete fangirl moment at the beginning. too fun!
As a huge Star Wars fan and a huge wood working fan, I have to say what an amazing job with not only the craftsmanship, but the music and editing as well. Thank you for the wonderful content.
I wanted to see him replace a globe with this and make it into one of those liquor globe tables
tho this video is a masterpiece, i missed your voice frank. your voiceovers are oddly calming.
I think it fits the video
+Roman Randhahn totally agree, i watch his videos before bed lol
+YoungWood same
in the Darth Vader voice....
Clever you are. Hmmm.
:)
The Force is strong with this one.
I love how the cross-section of the bamboo plywood makes it look like the surface of the Death Star. Awesome job. May the force be with you.
We're covering your creation on our channel today!
That is awesome Frank! You know you have to make an R2D2 now though! #MayThe4thBeWithYou
+Jarrid O'Bryan Next year!
+Jarrid O'Bryan Agreed
Yes! A wood R2D2 for May 4, 2016!
Frank Howarth - Father, Husband, Architect, Woodworker and Rebel…!
Great video Frank, Thank You… and great end result… worthy of Guggenheim.
A great “Spin” on a classic tale from a long long time ago, “Turning” tables on the Empire…!
"Don't be too proud of this wooden terror you have constructed! The ability to build the Deathstar from bamboo is nothing compared to the power of the Force!" Awesome job man, seriously, huge Star Wars fan, just discovered your channel a few weeks ago, amazing work! Keep it up!
who gave dislike this video? It is a masterpiece
+AntônioJunior -AJ- from the dark side
+Rick Green kkkkkk
+AntônioJunior -AJ- maybe it was George Lucas because Frank did a better job than J.J. Abrams haha
+AntônioJunior -AJ- Probably Trekkies
This wasn't the video they were looking for.
That's no moon... It's a Masterpiece!
no....it's a death star
That swipe effect was perfect!
Thank you Frank! I'm not a Star Wars fan, but I'm a fan of your work and videos. Thank you for sharing your passions with the rest of us.
This is amazing! You win the internet! May the 4th be with you!
That bamboo with all the segments... It works so well to capture the look of it without any further ornamentation.
Mr. Howart you've just gather the best of multiple universes and combine it in this video. May the woodworking force be with you. Tnx for sharing it!!!
I liked this much better than the prequels.
And on May the Forth 2016, we finally know the answer to the ultimate Star Wars Question:
*Frank Shot First!*
+John Norris You win
that would make a fantastic liquor cabinet!
+drummond06 I second that - would be much more awesome than those bar globes :)
I would drink straight out of it.
I'm not a person to leave comments but this is the BEST video I've seen on CZcams in all my years of watching random video's
My favorite video of your to date! Impressive work Frank.
+izzy swan Thanks Izzy
Awesome. I love Star Trek!
+ScrewDrvr Star Trek??? lol...
+ScrewDrvr honestly cancer right here...
Hahahahahahhahahahahah
+ScrewDrvr Gandalf rules!
+hairyneil Use the Force, Harry
Frank Piana is my favourite natural wood worker
Who could possibly NOT like this?
The Rebel Alliance..
george lucas liked it so much that in the next special edition hes editing the death star to look like frank's
Trek fans......
Jason Moran As a Trek fan, I think this is amazing. Not a huge Star Wars fan, but the video is awesome.
Members of the rebel alliance and traitors; take them away!
What can be said to even come close to the accolades your multilayer craftsmanship deserves? I'm struck speechless!!! Thanks I sure enjoyed.
A: What the hell kind of Death Star is that?
B: It's an older model sir but it checks out.
I was about to clear it.
Q:
A:
Not A and B
+Raimundas Awesome cookie jar.
+KaizerMan Oh jeez. Thanks. We need more poeple like you!
itd not A&B its Q&A
Spectacular. Even got the screen wipes.
+SDub Until the digital remake DVD release, of course.
+Coastal Virginia Gardening Lol, funny
The force is strong in this one...................
Frank, once again you have made me laugh with your shop antics. Not only do I learn some things but have fun doing it. Absolutely loved it. Thank you.
Lol! Frank, you are simply the best.
+April Wilkerson Thanks April
+April Wilkerson Better than all the rest.
Don't get why anyone would give this a thumbs down. Very creative and fun Frank.
Seriously--I'm not sure which is more impressive--your woodworking skills or your video editing capabilities. Very well done, sir!
The only thing disappointing about this video is that it didn't go viral. It is sooo worthy.
Awesome job on the woodwork and editing.
Incredible, Frank!
I'm ashamed of how much I love this.
+Dan Mills no need to feel ashamed
Search your feelings, embrace the Dork Side…
Tracy Luegge Believe me, fully embraced.
+Dan Mills This video is so nerdy, a bully should come to my house to punch me in the face
Satch Boogie No, the bullies have joined us!
This video was so very good.
Your decision to use bamboo is very well thought out. The notches within the bamboo served to be like the panels and that was a great life decision on your part! Well done!
You are my new Hero I have been sitting here two days in a row watching your videos, I remodel houses and do custom wood work but you sir are a MASTER at what you do I wish I could come spend a couple of days with you and learn as much as possible! Thank you for posting these videos!
I love how playful and cinematic this was :P it's awesome
It's official... You win the internet Frank!
This was so well thought out - the intro was a reference to into of one of the starwars films, and even the transitions between clips were starwars-style transitions. Genius.
Wow!!! The nerd in me is screaming!! My two favorite things, Star Wars and lathe work.... The best!
Amazing on all levels, wow!
Possibily one of the best, DIY videos I've seen ever.
Frank, this is stand out wood working and stand out film making. Thank you. You make my life richer. Keep going.
Woodworking and Star Wars, it just doesn't get any better than that. Just Awesome, incredible to see such talent, thank you!
One word Frank......AMAZING :)
Cheers
Mike
+Mike Waldt Thanks Mike
Wow! Awesome I love it!
Mr. Howarth you are an artist of the wood turning but also an entertainer. The angles of camera, the ultimate wood tech. I enjoy very much watching you work. Greetings from Argentinian Patagonia.
You're a very clever man. I don't know which is better, your workshop, the masterpieces coming out of it, or your video editing!!!
WOW that's incredible!!
man I would sooooo buy this
Omg. The best carpentry related video I've ever watched. Along with the entertainment factor the amount of planning, designing and effort that must of gone into this project must of been out of this world. From one star wars fan to another, you are a true legend. Thank you for this pure work of art.
The sound effects and audio clips from the movie really made this video a treat to watch.
I love this so much. What a gift to the CZcams community!
+Nate Cougill i wonder if you interested in seeing some of my works too ? is in my video
Wow - enjoyed the great woodworking AND movie making... thanks!
Quite possibly the best woodworking video ever - from a guy who has watched a bazillion CNC metalworking videos.
How can anyone dislike this ? From the work itself to the very very very funny edited video. And then he says "it's all very simple ". He means " it's all simply amazing."
your work is best. your editing is great.
Don't be so proud of this technological terror you've constructed.
I find your lack of lathe...disturbing.
I always hated woodwork in school. but I have to admit this video and your wood turned eyeball has sparked some interest towards woodworking for me.
Awesome Frank. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. All the best, Jim
Unbelievable skills. Thank you for sharing.
I need something better than just a thumbs up for this video. Too cool!!!
+TabLeft Workshop Exactly! There should be a "Thumbs WAY UP" button for videos like this!
We need a double thumbs up
+TabLeft Workshop We need youtube to put a bracket where you can insert the amount of thumbs-up you want to give to the video
I think exactaly the same when he join the two parts and there is the "groove" of the midle of Death Star. The concept, the atention for the details, the wood choice, the use of the advanced tools in a advanced way...

Frank, what you do, how you do it, and how you produce your video is truly special. On behalf of humanity, I thank you.
+Sean Foster Thanks
Brilliant you are, Master Frank. A big lathe Powermatic will have to build, for you to turn Starkiller Base.
No more training do you need. A video Jedi you are. May the grain be with you.
Frank's elephant seems fascinated by his CNC machine ...
Impressive. Most impressive.
Straight up incredible. The editing was impressive. Clearly you knew exactly what you wanted before you started shooting. That was the most riveting woodworking I've ever seen.
Thanks for the few chuckles, Frank. Stellar project! Dug the clamping jig.
Awesome job, I also liked the wipes/fades you used just like in the movie. And always remember Han shot first :)
acet7 of course he shot first. Why would he not? He didn't want to get shot. If you wait for the other guy to shoot, you may not get the chance.
I watched this video with my wife as we both love star wars, she wants to see you make a BB8.
It's not often you watch a woodworking video with a smile on your face. Thank you.
It’s so cool how he can throw the pieces on the table and they just assemble themselves in the hose clamp, truly remarkable
The Force is strong with this one! You got my subscription!
Your editing is always amazing.
the editing is on point... the fact that you used the same scene wipes as in the movies gives it the final touch! you sir are a legend!!
This video is sustenance for the soul. Thanks so much Frank, excellent work!
You've outdone yourself! I hope this video keeps growing! Truly amazing work.
May the fourth be with you all!
I had a chuckle when I saw the SNES control on the CNC machine! Thats both hilarious and awesome at the same time! BTW great Death Star!
Someone seeming like they enjoy doing woodwork in these videos is nice, naturally. Someone seeming as if they enjoyed making the video itself, as well, it's amazing! I love how much fun he has in the video making process. It adds so much. Great video, great project. Amazing.
I was having a BAAAD day 'til I watched this. Brilliant.
+Melmagic Spell Absolutely brilliant actually 'cos I too am a woodworker though not at your calibre.
i think i've just found the coolest video on the internet
frank you are a genius. The world does not deserve you or your amazing productions (wood+videos)
I'm not a fan of Star Wars even though I watched the first 7 movies. But let me point something out:
You are a truly magnificent woodturner but the fact that you edit the video in a way that fits the theme of the piece you created is simple and pure GENIUS.
You sir have my respect, a like and my subscription.
wait...was that a SNES controller??
mmm hmmm
Amazing!!
So far I'm at the point where you're beating on the first few rings and you're cracking me up.
I don't know what's funnier - the actual slow fly-overs or that you took the time to do that. I'm enjoying it. :)
Both your craftsmanship and your filmography are freakin' PHENOMENAL!
