- Launching my most challenging topic yet, making an entire camera from scratch, by first starting with a very basic pinhole camera that I can build upon and upgrade as I produce more and more components from scratch.

I like this guy's attitude towards his mistakes. That sword hung on the wall behind him is an eyesore, but it represents a rare attempt that few would be willing to make
Flibber Nodgets im just picturing andy looking sad at this comment because he was really proud of the sword
the minecraft one is eh but the other one is sexy
he should be proud of it, that's my point.
Also, I didn't know his name was Andy until you mentioned it, so thanks for that
He saw this comment and thought “I like my sword. :(“
the pigball is more of an eyesore, god damn obsidian sword, minecraft or not doesnt matter, it IS a sword!
Your dedication to the craft never ceases to amaze me Andy 🤩
Yoooo, also new AI stuff?
No way. It's Jabrils. The guy who inspired me to focus my final year project on neural networks and to attend game jams.
coding ?
I don't get why you can't use modern glue, but are using modern power tools
Like the videos it just seems like an oxymoronic method.
If you went into to the TV room at my school (some time ago I might add ) all the windows were painted black so the room was dark and you could see the screen. On the middle window a small part of the paint had come away letting in light. This meant if you were in there, with the TV off, you could see the kids that were playing on the football field inverted on the back wall. Basically an accidental camera obscura. It was cool. 😊
Maybe a creepy teacher did that on purpose
I wonder if that was somewhat similar to how it happened originally, maybe a hole in a curtain or something?

@@rattlesnakz9716 it's literally like the entire point of this channel
One thing is the material around the pinhole needs to be as thin as possible as the longer the pin hole is the more blurry the photo just like the larger the pin hole is the blurrier the photo
Rick Astley
I’m never gonna give you up
@@PotatoesAssistant awww you took my comment!
Thanks for mentioning that! Yeah, if a 1 inch hole can be drilled into the front lens board, then you can add a more accurate pinhole out of thinly flattened copper, or whatever metals you have on hand
Chris M Forsyth Or more blackened paper with the pin hole in
countersinking the hole on the inside, might resolve that issue
Maybe you should try to make other types of glue, like pine sap glue. I am sure it would help you in the future and will not be as disgusting as rancid pig hide glue. Keep it up, the show is amazing!
I was thinking the same thing. They could make something a bit stronger and less gross.
What about a simple side series: Screws and Nails. They could ideally be made out of cheap nasty metal casting, and while they may not be super strong, they would act just like dowels
IM so happy for you guys ever since your obsidian sword vid you have grown greatly. Your content has also greatly improved in my opinion. This music was good here the montages didnt feel as clunky and u seemed to be enjoying it more. Also all that ad revenue from the sword vid prob help you guys out. Anyway im really glad u deserve to grow. Been with u since the grant Thompson collab.
Edit:Wow i was noticed.
Shane Coyle same
Wait, since then? All the things you mentioned were edits they balanced years ago. I will say, though, if the massively-popular Obsidian casting video seemed clunky, it's because that was almost a throw-away video!
It went through so many failed attempts and cost him so much, though, that he decided he needed some final product to show for all that work, so they threw it together, and anyone who was following their progress was instantly astonished!
Though that song in the last construction montage was new and also pretty nice. Otherwise, this video was pretty normal for them.
I dont know i preferred this one to some of there others. Maybe it was the longer more detailed format too. Also since the obsidian vid they seem to be enjoying the process more.
Shane, yeah, this video is the start of a formal series, so maybe it has a bit of a different feel, with it being introductory to a full, true How To Make _____ From Scratch set.
Why use that rancid pig glue when you can make a far better and easier glue with rice? Japanese Kyudo composite bows were glued together using rice glue and I betcha is far less stinky
Sounds great! Now he just needs to grow rice...
I was thinking the exact same thing
And it's also halal.
Growing rice sounds fun though!
because it what he had on hand.
(My best Guess)
This was a great video!! I learned a lot about early cameras watching it. Thank you for creating such great content.
NileRed made really good videos about cyanotype about a month ago. Give us the the colab we all want!
Yesssssss
This is exactly the type of content i subscribed for.
The effort you put into your videos is absolutely commendable.
Great job. Keep it up
I still have my pinhole camera that i made in school. I'm still thankful that our teacher did such cool projects with us.
I should try to use the camera again, thanks for the inspiration!
Was watching your old videos of glass and saw new came .i was so happy
This was uploaded right when I got out of school. What a great surprise!
Fun watching you go through the process, as camera builders and historic process photographers ourselves it's fun seeing others' approach to problems.
Grinding your own ground glass is fun and easy. We typically use fine rock tumbling grit however any abrasive should be able to be used. The finer the grind the brighter the image.
Great video! I love this channel. Every time I see a new video I try to warch it. I think its really cool that you get to spend your life learning all these amazing skills. Id love to do that all day!
I missed everything mr mustache was saying.
How to Grow a Mustache from Scratch!
He seems like a creep.
I think he was drunk.
Pretty sure he was high on cocaine the way his jaw was moving.
The last part of him talking about his love for the camera made me want to die.
Thought it said "Canada from scratch". Very dissapointing.
Yeah, i was expecting him to create that weird fictional country
That's unrealistic, he should make Finland from scratch
why would he make something that isn't real
Should be pretty simple. Canada is made entirely of maple syrup, right?
Canada was a myth made by the northerners during the American Civil War to scare the South
I am so glad I found this channel. You are mind-blowing to me and this has to be your most ambitious project yet. I look forward to the next part!
I’m a huge fan of your work guys! I love the concept, the dedication to the details, the honesty in accepting limitations. We run a makerspace in India and we are truly inspired to try out a lot of your ideas. Keep up the extraordinary work!
What a nice series!!
That's also why you can see sharper in bright light: The eye makes its hole smaler, getting closer to being a camera obscura and being less dependent on the curvature of the lense (with all its flaws if you need glasses).
This is so far my favorite project, I can't wait to see the updates. Keep up the awesome work! You guys are great
I'm super excited to see how this camera turns out, this is easily the coolest projects so far
Wait, WHAT??
At about 9 and a half minutes in,
you KILLED a dead tree?
Seriously?
Really, GLAD to hear that you used
a dead tree!
Last month, my brother had a neighbor,
who had 2 trees get blown over in a storm.
We salvaged the logs, and plan on USING
them. Trees were acacia, with pale sapwood,
and STUNNING dark heartwood. Dark as
Walnut, but MUCH more features.
I plan on getting 2 center slabs, and making
a coffee table. Bookmatch them, and leave
a natural edge on the other sides.
I'm REALLY liking this series!
steve
Lol I don't know where this comment was going or was meant to go but I love it +1
George, that wood will be out into some GOOD
use.
steve
Your videos are so relaxing :D
You guys have come such a long way in terms of your technical skills! I remember cringing my way through the glass and candy episodes, worrying you'd lose fingers, but it really does come across how much you've learned from the show, and that's been awesome to see! Can't wait to see the lens episode
It always nice when you don't expect youtubers you like to feature into another channel you like.
Now we need a radio
*BIG* *IRON*
A simple cat's whisker diode for a primitive radio receiver could be made.. but you'd need wire as well, and a crystal earphone.. though maybe possible one day.
You should try using resin instead of hide glue. I'm pretty sure it has a longer keep time.
I'm so happy to see your personal skills at each of the tasks improve. Taking input from fans was wise.
Love the video Andy! I learn so much from your channel that I just would never think of discovering elsewhere.
I'm surprised you didnt try your hand at japanese joinery, no nails or screws necessary for a strong bond...maybe next time.
maybe it's too advance of woodworking
Lol what? Is that even possible?
Yeah that would be far too difficult for him, especially with such tiny pieces of wood.
the material around the Pinhole should be as thin as possible
I just want to point out how amazing your channel is. You just made a functioning camera. You’ve made some food that didn’t look bad. I love it! Please keep posting.
Your presentation style has gotten so much better. Keep it up, dude.
Planning to make a camera obscera with a Pringles can
I did that
Melted Pine sap mixed with crushed charcoal is the best glue
Can't wait for the rest of this series I love photographic history.
You're videos are always great to watch! Thank you!
5:28 Can't help but laugh.
(How big that hole that let's light in)
Lmfao
Bahahaha
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have notice an unexpected cleavage at a point in this video.
Dude I was subscribes 200,000-300,000 subs you’ve grown by alot
Waffle56GT here from -1 subs
I've been here since about 5000 or so
I’ve men here since around 100,000ish
Been here since he was born
Same, I was just thinking that.
Just for reference, the Afghan Box camera is also a simple, adjustable focal length camera. Doesn't need bellows and you can use a pin hole lens. Nice video, really enjoy your work.
I've been waiting for this one for a while now, I'm excited now that it's here!
Please collaborate with Nile Red for the film
I was thinking that a human sized one of these could be used to do detailed landscape sketches. I have a small one on my window sill for taking observations of the sun. I can point a camera or phone in the view port and it takes good detailed pictures. The first one I built lit on fire. Watch out for that focal point when adding a lens. Oops.
I would build one and just put a light paper on the back, this way I could sketch from the projection!
What a relief, new music! Nice video, this channel puts in 100x more effort into each video than any other how-to channel.
I love how with every new ep. You can see his skill with tools and craftsmen ship get better
If I were to make a camera from scratch it would somehow turn out to be a toaster
If you can't photo it, atleast you can toast it
At least you could play cs:go or Minecraft on it :P the "toaster configuration starter kit"
i think i've seen you before around these parts
Toasters are great
Smash it into pieces for a good picture *Now where is my camera oh yeah yeah*
Best way to learn is by doing! Thank you for taking us along with you!
Your work is absolutely amazing!
Jabrils!
YOU MONSTER WHY DID YOU CUT THE TREE!!!!
@Banana Bread Man he forgot to tell you that he's VEGAN . Common mistake. ;)
Dude here in MN all the ash trees are dying from ash borers. Sucks but when they die you gotta cut em down otherwise they can fall on houses or people or spread arboreal diseases even further. I'm pretty sure you're being sarcastic but just some extra info for people that are actually concerned.
I hope you are being sarcastic (altoulgh you don’t sound sarcastic), but the tree was dead, and dead trees can fall over. So that’s why
Headless Gorilla I belive he’s joking, but it’s not really obvious haha.
I can def tell he was being sarcastic... I dunno why everyone else can't. I immediately thought of sarcastic reading it in my head when I saw the all caps and immature name calling.
One of the best informational channels on CZcams. Keep up the effort! Been watching before 100k subs
Amazing series! I believe this would be an interesting series for discovery Channel. Love it so far!
i mean why would someone be mad at you for cutting down a dead tree it's already dead
Peoples would be mad at me, I must have 10 dead trees to cut down on my property!
Wait. So he can’t use a hammer and nails but he can use an electric saw and drill? C’mon that’s a bit excessive at this point lol
i came to the comments wondering how a belt sander and wood planer was from scratch but cant use nails or glue
3:30 as a photographer, the black room is one of the first things they teach us, it's amazing how we could see the street, the moving cars, all in a black room. We used trash bags to make the effect, it was amazing
This is hands down my fav youtube channel!!
Wait hold on. You just make a hole in a cardboard box and an image projects itself??
Exactly how light works
Yes. Technically all image is always projected everywhere but they overlap unless you make a pinhole to take away overlaps. so smaller pinhole less blurry.
Its a little more complicated than that. A smaller hole makes a smaller aperture, which increases your depth of field, but it also increases your diffraction, making your image less sharp actually.
A wider hole (larger aperture) produces a shallower depth of field. To work with a smaller aperture, you need to adjust the distance between the aperture and the film plane. You will have a smaller depth of field (distance that objects appear to be in focus), but can produce sharper images because of substantially less diffraction. But this is harder to make without a mechanically adjustable system to adjust the distance between your focal node (aperture in this case) and your imaging plane (paper or sensor).
This is why on cameras with real lenses, you never want to shoot above about f11. Diffraction breaks through and starts making your image pretty nasty. Most lenses have their sweet spot between f/9 and f/11, diffraction will start becoming an issue around and above f/16
Hark Singh yep, it’s elementary.
Yes, it will work. We made camera out of shoeboxes at school. You don't have to do anything exept painting it black from the inside. If you have light sensitive paper this will be enough
I'm confused, you can use drills, clamps, sanders, planers but screws? Thats a no no. I love this channel but I don't understand where you draw the line between using your own tools and not.
They draw the line there because they would end up making nothing without using some tools. It would take too long, and the channel would be unsuccessful because they wouldnt be able to publish fast enough to keep attention. Like seriously, do you expect them to walk across the country to gather materials? Of course they arent going to literally make every single component. Make your own series if you have a problem.
@@jordanjacobson6046 calm down... I was just curious as to their reasoning behind justify some tools and not others
I think the line is that the final product cannot have any material that he hasn't gathered/made himself
The actual product is made of only things he has made over time.

I bet this channel is going to be around the 10,000,000 subs in a few years or less. It sure deserves it. Amazing content!
As always I love your show, keep it up and good job on the camera.
You mean this isn't how to make some things as long as it doesn't offend snowflakes. I'm watching the wrong show lol. Keep up the great work and make EVERYTHING
The timeskips were so cool~~ how far you've come!
Wow. This is amazing. I honestly have no idea how you are able to do a lot of this. It’s amazing. You are so creative
I'm so exited for this series!
For someone who struggles with making a wooden frame, you have made a lot of tools! Planer, drill, all kinds of sanders. I must say, your craftsmanship with your tools is amazing, maybe carry that through to you the projects?
Literally one of the best channels on CZcams
ya know the more i think about it you must really deeply Appreciate your audience to go through all of this . good job keep up the good work
I cannot freaking wait for the rest of this series!!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait to see the finished product.
As a photographer I always enjoy learning something new, obscura is definitely new and amazing
sweet project! the images you have so far looks like you have light leaks! I agree with the others who commented that the material the pin hole is drilled out of is waaaaaayy to thick. I've made many pinhole cameras and used 4x5's. the best pinhole will be small, but perfectly round, smooth and 1 dimensional. Most people drive a nail through a tin can and then sand it until its flat and smooth. The texture and depth of your hole is making things blury (sounds bad out of context)
You seriously deserve more subscribers... your content is great!
Great video! I love photography and it origins. Keep up the great content
Yes! What a channel, everything is man made, you definitely earned a sub, will wait until the next video, but until then I'll satisfy my urges by watching your older videos :D!
I love this series very much. I love photography and the technical aspects behind it. Decades ago, I did make a pinhole camera in grade school. I used a shoebox, a cardboard frame and waxed paper. Later on, I learned how to develop black and white film. Photography is very fun. I'd like to see you make your own film and developer solution from scratch. I'd also like to see you make your own camera flash from scratch. That would be cool. To go further, can you make a camera that would store the images on an SD card, with electronic components? The things we often take for granted, often have a long and interesting history behind them. Keep up the great work. Cheers!
First DIY I ever did was a pinhole camera, not quite to your extent, but was an excellent learning curve, I always wanted to make my own lenses to go with it. I'll be very interested to follow this one
awesome. so excited for the rest of the videos
I really wanted to see this one along with electronics! Finally!!!
Man I love your videos!! Everytime i see the notification i get so excited. You put a lot of hard work into this and makes it so entertaining (except some gross things like the pig thing haha). Keep up the awesome work man!
I made and used a pinhole camera out of a biscuit tin in college. Lots of fun. Being trained in film definitely made me slower and more considered in my photography.
It looks so NICE!
I love your work keep it up. I have never missed an episode,
So excited for episode 2
thats amazing that you were able to do that with those materials keep up the good work.
Damn man! Nice work. Can’t wait until you get to taking pictures with your homemade camera.
Great! By far your best project yet!
The series we have been waiting for
Only recently discovered your channel but I love what you're doing. It's a bit late now I know but hide glue is water soluble, so when your bellows got stuck together it could have been safer (for the bellows) to just paint some water on and point a hairdryer at it for a few seconds. Accidental glue joins can just be pulled apart then. Keep up the amazing work.
My wood shop teacher makes a glue from flour and water, with a bit of vinegar to keep it clean. You could grow more flour on the side or if you have any left from the bread (though I doubt it). That way you could make a less rancid glue. He uses it for making things out of a cardboard and wood material so it should hold for most of your projects.
Great video! Cant wait for the next one
You’re killin the game Andy
Dude. You literally made a photograph. By hand. You made it from scratch. You have officially done the near impossible as just one human and it's incredible
For a future project you should make all the tools and equipment that you used in this video from scratch. Saw mill, sand paper, drills, nails, clamps ect
It's incredible he made all the tools and things he used from scratch. Wish He posted the wood plane episode. That would have been nice to watch
This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen
I'm amazed every time I see this guy struggling to use stuff he made in other episodes.
You my man are a legend 🙇
