Very cute German sense of mathematical humour. What an enjoyable world we live in... Thanks for the lovely inspiration ! Keep on trucking ! (from France)
Thanks! This just helped me figure out the angles needed to cut out some tetrahedron shaped wooden dice for a homemade Royal Game of UR set. Deeply appreciated as I had mistakenly thought ALL angles were 60 degrees when I started.
@@marcuskc1 I hope it worked out well for you. Sadly, as far as I can tell there is no way to make the tetrahedron shaped dices without having a relatively large amount of waste offcuts. Also, I ended up chamfering all the edges by rubbing them along sand paper to make it a little more comfortable to hold.
The dodecahedron is actually pretty easy with a band saw. If you convert each face of a cube to a rooftop shape at the right angle, with each face's rooftops pointed in a different direction, you get a dodecahedron in just 12 cuts. It's also possible to cut an Icosahedron from a slightly oblique dodecahedron.
This is really good! I'd like to see the regular 3D stars (Kepler-Poinsot polyhedra) next, but those seem to be pretty much an impossible nightmare to do
I am more than fascinated by your work! To me, it's stunning what you know about the geometry (platonic solids) and inspires me to re-member more about them
Wow. Now I have a reason to play with my miter saw. That's too much adjusting on the table saw. But, you really have a gift with demonstration. I really appreciate this info, great use of construction scraps.
I have to say I am in awe of your skill at this. That was amazing to watch. I will search for more detailed videos by you on how to do this step by step. This is the first video of yours I have watched. But it was awesome.
Gorgeous. I’d love to do this. Was looking for large dice for drawer pulls but they just don’t exist. Shame I didn’t understand anything you said. Lol. Absolutely beautiful though.
I'm wondering if making a cube the "easier way" is really that much easier. I mean, here you just need to change the angle twice, and cut at the center of the triangle, instead of needing either a special jig, or carefull measurments 🤔

How to make a cube? You start with a triangle, make a Mitsubishi logo, turn it into a maraca and crack that bad boy open like a kinder egg and bam, a baby cube.....
Very nice work! I love the emerging solids from the wood. Interestingly, today i saw the latest video by Ben Brandt who made one of those with a different method.
Considering the staggering amount of work that went into this I'm amazed that A. You don't have more subs. B. You didn't choose better music. C. With those talents that you set time off to do this.
I would have no patience for this lol. I'd have to cut a series of pyramids and glue them all together points facing inward to make a polyhedron. Except the tetrahedron, because that's just quadrupling my workload.
I am looking to buy about 100 of these equilateral triangle tetrahedrons made from solid wood. Is there anyone willing and able to mass produce some of these? I make wooden toys and I have used cubes, but want to make a toy using tetrahedron pyramids. the size bout 1 and 1/2 inches would work well.
fun... except for the last one where he dangerously held the piece while cutting it. That can pull your hand into the saw if the blade catches on the wood.
I was so confused when he said he needed a triangle to make a cube. My jaw hit the floor when I realized he machined a cube inside of a triangle
Magic
I have the saw and the wood, now that I have seen this video too, I'll go ahead and order the shapes online.
Do you come?
Looking at this makes me realize how much I do not understand 🤓. Thanks for showing this superior geometry skills!
It makes me wish I had payed more attention in geometry class.
I finally found a "Jedi" master of geometry in woodwork.
thank you very much for your teachings.
Very cute German sense of mathematical humour.
What an enjoyable world we live in...
Thanks for the lovely inspiration !
Keep on trucking ! (from France)
Merci. Je suis honoré que vous voyez ma vidéo dans ce contexte.
It’s almost magic to see the polyhedrons appear. I’m impressed by your ease with geometry !
I gotta admit, rattling the triangle to show the cube is fully contained inside it made my eyes pop. Very cool.
Now I know how to make dice sets for d&d!
my brain just exploded and saw dust came out
This is the most math teacher approach to cutting a cube I've ever seen.
Beautiful work ;)
Thank you!
Haha, cool :) While I watched this, I thought 'pocket83 would like that'.
just checked out the channel. great videos

im watching this for the exact same reason lol

this man sacrificing ease of crafting for some warmth
Finally, someone worthy of my respect
What a great tutorial. I like that he doesn't spoon feed us the details. I like smart people too.
I know maths, and I know carpentry, but this was on another level!
I was just daydreaming about how to machine a set of dice and anticipating the work holding challenges. Found your video and wow, mind expanded.

The pentagrams said it all, this man sold his soul for chop saw skills. Amazing work, very impressive.
That was awesome! Plato would have really liked you! Next make a tesseract (lol)! By the way I loved your sketches, pieces of art! Thanks for sharing!
A tesseract would be a nice thing indeed... I'll see where I can get a 4D-Saw.
lol!
Now you're just showing off
Only a tiny little bit.
Cameron Lienhart my thought exactly. Cutting a cube using triangles. Lol
I was going to reply the same, and add, he's doing it AND explaining it AND showing his work... so yeah. I'll just go do something I know how to do.
This is really good!
I'd like to see the regular 3D stars (Kepler-Poinsot polyhedra) next, but those seem to be pretty much an impossible nightmare to do
I didn't understand any of that... but it was still fun to watch
Watching that made my brain ache - but then again I must be thick. Clever Video Matthias.
I've watched this three times in a row and got teary from laughing.
I am more than fascinated by your work! To me, it's stunning what you know about the geometry (platonic solids) and inspires me to re-member more about them
Danke. Beeindruckend.
The cube was genius
Herr Burger's videos rank among the good and the truly worthwhile stuff on TH-cam! Inspired and inspiring!
Wow. Now I have a reason to play with my miter saw. That's too much adjusting on the table saw. But, you really have a gift with demonstration. I really appreciate this info, great use of construction scraps.
I love that I find this video after I found an interesting piece of wood on my land that would make a fantastic set of DnD dices
Cool I never would have thought an octahedron could be turned into an icosahedron.
Great video. I loved the way the saw was in tune with the music for the cube.
I have to say I am in awe of your skill at this. That was amazing to watch. I will search for more detailed videos by you on how to do this step by step. This is the first video of yours I have watched. But it was awesome.
Outstanding video! I've been looking to do this project for a while, you just made it super easy for me, thanks so much!
Gorgeous. I’d love to do this. Was looking for large dice for drawer pulls but they just don’t exist. Shame I didn’t understand anything you said. Lol. Absolutely beautiful though.
Did anyone else just search "wooden dice" only to have this mitre saw magician blow their minds?

You’ve got your perfect warlock
Absolutely mental sir!
I'm impressed.
That cube... O.O
endlich jmd der würfel erklăren kann ich habe es in der schule nie verstanden aber dank dieses Anleitung verstehe ich endlich wie man des Würfels Werk vollübt!!
Nicest illustrations I have seen in DIY videos. A pleasure to watch you drawinging, rather than sketch up... :)
You’re reminding me that I should get out of the shop and start doing my math homework 😅
This is black magic 😮❤
Thanks!
Needed this bit of info!
How to make a cube? You start with a triangle, make a Mitsubishi logo, turn it into a maraca and crack that bad boy open like a kinder egg and bam, a baby cube.....
Wow. I knew technics to cut a square with my old saw, but all of those are just amazing nice work here !
Thanks for helping me make a icosahedron! Your video helped.
magic cube!
Very good and impressive. I can only sit here and salute you. Thks
Best video DIY I never saw!!
So cool! Thank you for setting the cube free! I feel like Monty Phyon meets Sacred Geometry meets Look Around You... thank for the cool video :)
when you have no dice but you are a woodworker and have a degree in geometry and you want to play dnd
Wow this is a superb class I enjoyed it so much thanks you watching 😱
Brilliant! That cube. I tip my hat too you sir.
Excelent, i would like to know if you can help me get the angles of the X Hocker chair.
Very nice work! I love the emerging solids from the wood. Interestingly, today i saw the latest video by Ben Brandt who made one of those with a different method.
WHAT, you demon sorcerer! That was so cool with the cube in the traingle. I love this video. What kind of saw is that?
Can you cut from solid wood the three-dimensional shape of a brilliant cut diamond?
So I am thinking traditional joinery is not an issue for you ever then? Of course we already know this having watched all of the other projects! Bravo
Considering the staggering amount of work that went into this I'm amazed that A. You don't have more subs. B. You didn't choose better music. C. With those talents that you set time off to do this.
Cube was awesome.
Simply amazing... loved the simplicity of how you explained all those polyhedrons. Briliant.. new sub
FREAK!!!!!! Months on youtube and I finally find what I am looking for.
I would like ti make a tetraedro. Can you explane Better the steps please....the method Is Amazing!
Amazing. The Amazing. Thank you for this.
you just fix my mood with giving superb idea......Thank youuuuuuu
Oh my god. This is so awesome
I would have no patience for this lol. I'd have to cut a series of pyramids and glue them all together points facing inward to make a polyhedron. Except the tetrahedron, because that's just quadrupling my workload.
I feel like I just watched some sort of magic trick. Super cool stuff
That guy is a magician
Incredibly well done
Now do kepler solids (self intersecting solids)
Ok that was mind boggling some clever stuff
You mention that the d8 can be cut with the tablesaw - could all of these feasibly be cut with just a tablesaw?
I wouldn't try the icosahedron on the tablesaw. But it might be possible with some sort of jig.
This man is a God damn genius
Simply Brilliant! Well done sir.
I don't understand anything because I can't math for my life but this is simply great.
After watching this, I realized I've forgotten everything I've learnt in Maths class! It is harder to calculate and measure than to cut it.
Beatifull work!!! AND nice cumbia music!!
Overcomplicated way of cutting a cube, but the rest were pretty cool 😅
Geometry, I hate to admit it but this is why geometry is cool. I feel like going back and studying geometry. What have you done to me sir?
Amazing!
i am out of words. amazing
Good work
The geometry intensifies....
I am looking to buy about 100 of these equilateral triangle tetrahedrons made from solid wood. Is there anyone willing and able to mass produce some of these? I make wooden toys and I have used cubes, but want to make a toy using tetrahedron pyramids. the size bout 1 and 1/2 inches would work well.
How exactly should I draw the triangles on the faces of the octahedron to make the icosahedron?
Nevermind, I found an explanation online for how exactly it follows the Golden ratio. Thank you so much for the video!
Very impressive!
another great video, thanks Matthias!
Matthias! My head hurts but excellent job! I started working on a Icosahedron box today...and it turned out ok :-) - Al
Great video, excellent method
Man that's AMAZING!
Beautiful work.
Masterful
is it possible to make a duodecahedron with magnets on each face so that you can put pentagonal pyramids on them and get an icosahedron?
I need 14 face dice continuous production multiple pieces to be produced , suggest machines
fun... except for the last one where he dangerously held the piece while cutting it. That can pull your hand into the saw if the blade catches on the wood.
very satisfying!
