I love the fact he made a video about all the different ways and products available to draw circles and yet the 1st thing he uses is the inside of a roll of tape 🙂
Gotta have the right tool for the right job. If the job is drawing a rough approximate circle, the closest approximately circular item to you may be the right tool.
Watching him build the arrow and I have to wonder why not just mount an arrow at the bottom of the wheel not the top? Some wheels have them at the side, some bottom and some top. It seemed like extra work and time at tge top.
@@MyMW3Channel fun! and design, it's just a novelty thing. better for cameras too also, i think the arrow can use gravity instead of a mechanism to stay the way it's pointing - no springs, bendy material, or anything fancy is really required
I have been watching lots of your content for several years now, and I love the format of this video. It was the style through the bulk of covid. No music, just live normal speed audio as your video is sped up for the viewer. plus the shots are so much more candid. LOVE IT ADAM!
@@GardenGuy1942 not sure what point you are trying to make? Never said I do not like Adam speaking? The majority of the reason to watch is him talking shop.

Part of why I love having Adam’s one day builds on in the background is that I relate so strongly with his verbal stims. 😆 it’s like hanging out with my friends, making weird noises at each other as we each do our own thing.
3:46 Putting the mass in a rim does increase the Polar Moment of Inertia. This makes it require more force to accelerate (and decelerate) to (and from) a given angular velocity (say RPM). Your intuition is spot-on, provided long spin time is the actual desired trait. Starting high and then adjusting the force the decelerating arrow applies leaves the broadest calibration window.
Underrated point that isn't mentioned enough Adam's accents As a brit, hearing Americans attempting English accents is usually a cringe worthy experience but his actually sound like actual English people you'd meet in real life
Adam is well traveled. I would imagine that helps. Would be interesting to see if folks with ADHD (which I believe Adam has ?) makes folks better at "mimicking" other languages?! (I believe I may have ADHD as well, so am curious, however I also had 'speech class' for a minor speech impediment as a young kid, so may be more "aware" of speech than others ?! ) No shade for ANY nuero-diverse folks out there !
Great job on this project. The part where your bit comes unchucked. I can hear my dad. “You didn’t tighten all three did you”. Heheh. Thanks for bringing back memories of watching my dad build projects. As the shop and auto mechanics instructor his whole life he always had something in the works every summer.
Adam, First time ever commenting on a video but I have been following you for alot of years now and really appreciate everything that you do. Love almost all of your videos. I especially liked this one. I really enjoy how you delve into things such as the Richlite and explain why it's used and what it's for in a very condensed and pedagogical way to educate your viewers about a very specific topic. This is very hard to find among other educators and I have always loved the way that you are able to do this in a very natural way. In this video I especially liked the sound editing. It was flawless throughout the video and made it a very pleasant viewing experience. Please send my regards to the editor. Throughout my life you have always been a huge inspiration and a big part of why I decided to start working with my hands and bacame an electrician, even though that may not be your strongest suit.. :) Thank you for everything and please keep doing what you're doing. Lots of love, Joakim Magnusson
Fantastic as always. There were several processes in this video that I'd have liked to see you throw a mask on for but I know how it goes. We love you Adam and want to keep you around as long as possible!
I know everyone is tired of Safety Nancies, but cutting anything with resin in it should be done with some breathing equipment. They Say that the dust can cause allergic reactions, and that once you develop the allergy, you keep it. 10:00
The "arms" are those ball & socket links that hold his table lighting and so it's quite improbable that they'll stop squeaking since it's the grip/tension that keeps them locked in position.
If you haven’t ever used dry erase crayons, I recommend them. They’re SO much better than dry erase markers, especially if you want to make it look nice.
@@DQuartermane this is where they really shine. It takes a little more elbow grease for the same result but you can do so much more detail when you don’t have to worry about wiping it away
@@DQuartermane I never had an issue with them staining my playmat any more than leaving marker on it the same amount of time. I didn’t do a scientific test across a bunch of materials, I guess. But it never was a problem.
I've got a magnet holding my chuck key, don't have to reach as far for it (but I guess I do have to put it back on the magnet instead of letting it go).
One thing I would have liked to see more of, and the explanation behind: Those eleven holes drilled into the back. I believe they are to help balance the wheel's spin?
I love videos like this. I can't explain why. Sometimes it's fun just to sit back and watch Adam overcomplicate and overengineer what should be a simple project lol
I could stare at the effect the camera and the wheel spinning. First spin appears the inner wheel is spinning opposite of the outer pegs. Second spin the pegs blur out. very cool.
I vote for one day builds when he decides to ditch, or possibly oil his flexible oil/water/coolant lines that he insists on using as a camera mount. 😉. I have a set that I use for soldering, but that's about it. Love you Adam, don't take it personal! 😋
35:00 There are a few ways to drill spaced holes. You could choose the circle where you want the pegs to be drilled, draw it on the disk, and then walk around the circle with dividers. If your dividers are off a little, make an adjustment and do it again. Repeat until close enough.
When I saw the backside of the wheel and noticed the holes/pits drilled in it, I wondered if I missed something in the build video. Did I? What's the reason for those semi-holes? Are they to bias where a spin stops?
I was so ready for 189 to be prime. Also, and I’m sure this is a well-beaten dead horse by now, but still, every time I see Adam start up a machine without ear protection, proper eye protection, or (in some cases) breathing protection, I wince. I thought I’d get used to it after a few dozen videos, but it hasn’t happened yet.
Awesome one day build, I'm curious though how the resistance of the clicker works it didn't really get shown, is there a spring on the understand that keeps tension on it?
for cutting rounds for the lathe out of sheet, I like to use large hole saws. Usually the center drill is fine for what im doing, but with care or a mill you can remove it. When working in melty or gummy materials I position the cut so that the holes saw just intersects the edge of the sheet to allow chips exit at water from a squirt bottle to pass though and cool the cut. The water is critical when cutting >1" of ABS or a similarly melty plastic.
This is so serendipitous: I was just today wondering what micarta is - even more on-topic, it happens to be because I'm looking for a folding knife for my EDC, and noticed that a lot of knives come with micarta handles - and lo, I run this video over breakfast 🙏😁
Adam, the part I love to watch is how you gobs out your builds, as well as how you solve your design and build problems. One thought on the peg spacing process. I saw you chose to figure out the spacing based on the circumference of the wheel… why wouldn’t you use a peg number that you want to use, say 60 instead of 63 and the divide the 60 into 360, then each peg is separated by 6 degree of angle? Then you could of used your milling machine and your indexing head, turned so the shaft was facing up. I enjoy seeing you use the milling machine. It has been many years since I used one.
@James Albrecht was wondering about that. Thought it was perhaps "slang" I was not familiar with. Turns out it was probably just 'spell check' being WEIRD !? LOL ! My spell check never lets me use the word "FOR", always 'corrects' to "FOE". I DO wonder how many enemies my spellcheck thinks I possess?!
Seeing Adam's wheel made me remember the gigantic one the owner of the old Empire Theater used to bring out on stage between movies so his patrons would have a chance at the cash prizes he gave out every night. I saw so many movies there, and often wish it had not burned up in that fire.
I love your Videos especially when you build Furniture for your house. I love watching Carpentry Videos such as the end tables you made for your bedroom. I'd love to see more like that such as maybe building a beautiful Dinning Room Table and so on.
Love ya Adam.. But leave it up to you to take the unusual route of using the linear circumference instead of just taking 360 degrees and dividing by whatever number of sectors you wanted. 🙂
Hi Adam, by removing material from the disk you are reducing the angular momentum. For a given mass concentrating that mass at the largest possible radius will maximise the angular momentum, but removing the central parts of the disk will just reduce not increase the momentum. Other than that your ODB is great to watch as always.
It is made by Dow! I used to work maintenance in the buildings that produce the resin. They don't cast it into blocks though, just raw material production.
Both resin infused paper and resin infused cloth are sold as micarta as can be carbon fiber, fiberglass, and other materials. Micarta was a brand name created by westinghouse in 1910. As of 2003 Norplex bought the rights and is the current manufacture, though I believe other companies manufacture "generic" versions.
Richlite is cool stuff. Martin guitars have been using the stuff for a while on some entry level instruments, making fingerboards and bridges out of it to great effect. They've also been using Stratabond (the stuff they make gun stocks out of) to make necks and the result is a neck that rarely ever moves since it's so stable regarding humidity and temperature changes.
It has been my experience that in order to get a Jacobs chuck to grip properly and prevent spinning on the bit, it is best to tighten it with the key in at least 2 of the 3 possible holes. 3 is always better. I also feel like this makes the bits run truer.
Enjoy your videos. It seems like you left out the point where you balanced the wheel by drilling some holes on the back side to take away weight? Thanks for a fun build!
Great build! I personally would have gone with some kind or rubber flap for the arrow. I think it would have been a little quieter and have a more satisfying sound.
Most commercial ones I've encountered came with a height adjustable leather strip. Easy to replace when it wears out and gives some adjustment on spin time as well
I know it's not a one day build per se, but I would love to see you build an acoustic guitar. They have kits out there, but certainly requires maker capabilities and tools.
