    I also got my fascination with these sculptures from watching the movie Fracture. Your work is incredibly beautiful!!! I wouldn't even know where to start on a project like that, and I don't think people have a clue how much work it takes. The completed work of art is incredible, and hypnotizing, almost like a form of artful meditation. Thanks for making this short film. 🖤👌😍

    The more I watch your vids, the more I want to build my own. I even have my own marbles now! Mostly for childhood nostalgia for the way I used to play with them with other kids. But, these vids make me want to do something more than just use them for games.

    Good morning Robert, I started looking at your work on line when your Mum told me about the medical sculptures you had been asked to make.
    I knew you had artistic talant when I saw your pen line drawing, some of which I proudly hang in my home.
    Being off work this week and not being able to go outside as I'm crook (NZ slang for sick) I have been searching for your work here on CZcams.
    Your kinetic art is just stunning. Maybe one day you will visit me here in NZ...............Uncle Richard.

    Your video inspired me. Lastnight Ì ordered 6-- 84" --304 S Steel rods. Ì went in search of some other materials today. Hope you can answer my questions. 🙄
    Why were your track clamps made to hold 3 rods and where did you find them?
    What motor do you use for the spiral lift?
    Do you have to use filler wire with the TIG?
    Very nice work😎

      Hi there, thanks for your message / questions, I’m glad to have inspired you.
      1. I make my own track clamps. I think the ones you’ve seen were made to use with different sized balls (for different track gauges)
      2. Nowadays I mainly use wiper motors as my sculptures are often quite big. Smaller 12v gearmotors around 4rpm are very good and strong (and cheap on eBay).
      3. Yes I use some filler wire at times, but most of the track welding doesn’t require it.
      Good luck!!

      @@robertmoore8Hi I recently discovered the world of rolling ball sculpture and your channel, it inspired me to build a rolling ball sculpture myself
      I saw the comment where you said you build your own track clamps and I was hoping you can make a tutorial on how to build them?
