Wow ! That it just incredible, nice work, you should be very proud of yourself for that one. I will definitely be having a go at that one. Even though I don’t follow football. Can’t wait for your next project.
Hi Paul, thanks so much for taking the time and effort to show your skill (along with Jerry's, and giving him credit). Your efforts are not in vain for those of us who have (fortunately) enough time and patience to go on the journey and adventure to emulate your skills. A genuine teacher you are, thank you again. Regards and best wishes to you and yours, along with thanks in anticipation for your future videos and education. Tony.
Thanks for sharing this. I have followed guide for my previous soccer balls and for the triacontahedron and ball. If I were guessing I'd pick 12 x 16 for the Hex jig, Would you confirm. Thanks again, David
Hi Paul. Very inspiring, I will have to try this. On slightly different topic, I looked at your website and was intrigued to try your method for what you called a wedge bowl. However, I was struggling to understand the geometry. It seems like each stave is tapered in two planes? So were the wedges cut on your table saw sled with the blade at an angle? Any guidance on the geometry and sled setup would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Glynn
This was many many years ago. Here is what I think I did. Make top dia x pi then subtract .125 x number of staves do the same with a bottom diameter and subtract .375 times number of staves. do this until you get about .375 at the bottom. then cut the compound angle on the staves. The wedges that come up from the bottom do not get the compound angle they are just straight wedged. you will have to draw this out on paper to get the angles. I do not have that info and would have to do it all over again. I use cad for most of my projects so its much easier for me. Good luck. paulbartlett7693@gmail.com
Thanks for very quick reply Paul! I think I get it now. It seems like the cross section at one end of the stave is square and triangular at the other end, I’m just not sure how to cut that. I can use Cad so will have a play and see if I can work it out
