  • Making a small 60-sided geodesic dome out of solid pieces of wood. Lots of miters! woodgears.ca/geodesic/
    A 60-sided geodesic is derived by taking a 12-sided dodecahedron and turning each pentagon into a 5-sided pyramid.

    Great to see you make that thing, I've build a similar one at the art academy three years ago and still use it for storing small tools and some other special items :) Built my own laser cutter some time ago and now can cut thin veneers with it, so I make these shapes out of very thin wood which makes it easy because I don't have to use miters for the thickness :)

  • @jasongekko373
    @jasongekko373 Před 8 lety

    Awesome work! You mentioned about your dislike of tape as clamps. Here's a suggestion: Use the masking tape to line up the pieces (just like you did), then use a 1/2" thick rubber band that they use to hold broccoli stalks in a bundle. Secure the rubber band around the outside of the 5 piece pentagon. The pressure will be exerted inwards which will hold the pieces in place until the glue dries.However, this will only work for the pentagon pieces. Once you assemble the 12 pentagons into the sphere, use large rubber bands (cut from a car tire inner tube). The pressure will keep everything nice and tight but it will also allow last minute adjustments until the glue sets.Excellent video and excellent CZcams channel. I am now inspired to try to build my own.

    That was a nice surprise! I will instantly have to fetch my own old paper-polyhedrons. I made a icosahedron from wood almost 30 years ago, but that didn't turn out as well as your dodecahedron-based geodesic, because I had a very cheap table saw. Btw: I assume, that your old one at 0:05 has been made without the double cut you show at 2:15.

  • @ArmasLahtaaja
    @ArmasLahtaaja Před 9 lety

    Nice. I can imagine those miters are very hard to get right - once I made a world map in the shape of dodecahedron and it required quite a long time to fine tune the cuts. But the result can only be beautiful.

  • @MotionArtist3D
    @MotionArtist3D Před 8 lety

    Thanks for sharing this Matthias!
    As you know Dodecahedron is one of the sacred geometries.
    And you may also know that, if you were to build one big enough for you to sit inside comfortably, you will be *inside a sacred space*
    but did you know that if you were to meditate inside this 'Sacred space' , something strange, something magical begins to happen!

    Mathias, Merry Christmas to you and your family . This video inspired me to make three way speakers, 3 domes on a base. I used a ring with sand paper on the inside to sand and shape the domes round. These are floor standing speakers using JBL studio master components and crossovers . I'm planning a set of dome speakers made out of limestone, they will look like snowmen. I wanted to thank you for all you expertise and videos , especially this one. My wife extended you this complement:
    "His ,(meaning you , as I watch your videos), skill and craftsmanship makes you,( you is me her husband), look like an idiot".
    It's true. Still I love her after all these years. Thanks again.

      Fuller once announced that he could cover New York City with a dome, for the cost of snow removal for ten years.

    Nice job. I would suggest you try a silicon caulk to adhere and to fill the cracks. You may also benefit from building the pieces around an inflated balloon that you could pop when completed (or if you glued the outside of the balloon it could remain as a smooth inner coating of your dome).
