- We had the silly idea to make a giant pin impression toy for our buddy, Mark Rober. Using some PVC sheets, 1,000 PEX tubes, and a week of 3d printing, we made a life-size pin wall that now lives at Crunch Labs! Contest has closed, but check out the Maker Alliance iltms.com/join

I work for 2 years to design the coolest warehouse then you come in and beat out all my ideas with one build. Thanks for coming out, it’s a total hit here at the lab.
It was so fun to make and I couldn't think of a cooler place for it to live. We have to do something bigger next time!
Hi Mark! Looks like a fine addition to your collection!
Hey Mark! Missing you and your videos! When is your next one coming?
Fun activity idea: Record a short stop-motion animation, possibly someone running. It would be fun to see the pins animated.
Best collab ever!!
I've always loved how these pin boards are a very rudimentary demonstration of how image resolution works. The smaller the pins (pixels) and the closer they are together, the higher quality the image. Basically the difference between the thumbs up being an actual thumbs up instead of the triangle we all saw.
Sure. The fidelity is equal to the insane amount of the pins and caps that we could add. Since it was going to be house in their upper loft area, this resolution was pretty good. We could have always added more, but we made a decision.
@@Iliketomakestuff yeah.. made the wrong decision.
@@dtoad48 Wow, dude. Did that make you feel better?
Look up pinscreen. The pinscreen, which is basically a large pin board, was developed for animation in the 1930s.
@@ddupree79 so what if it did? Are you the youtube comment police? 🤷🤣 No? Oh, OK. So you're just a Karen, then. Good to know.
I like to make stuff has been a comfort channel to watch for a while now. More than happy to support!!
Thank you so much!
Seeing Mark's excitement even after pushing just one of the pins out is just so cool
Mark in the outakes is perfect! Exactly what I would think hanging out with him would be like!
Next week, we have a Between the Builds video capturing what it was like to hang out there for a few days. It is packed with fun and silly stuff (and Anthony hurts himself).
@@Iliketomakestuff That sounds awesome! (Except the Anthony hurting himself part!)
@@TheCHRISCaPWN all of it sounds awesome, nothing excluded
Mark seems like genuinely one of the nicest people. Like it would be impossible to be in a bad mood in his presence.
I loved the big one that was at my childhood child museum. It had the teincy metal pins like the hand sized one, so it could be more accurate, but it was also two sided. But the swinging mechanism to reset this one is smart!!
Long ago, at the EPCOT Center Imagination Pavilion, they had a coffee-table sized pin board. It was oriented parallel to the floor, so shapes you made would immediately collapse, but there was also enough play in the pins that you could get wave motion effects going. I have wanted one for almost 40 years now.
That's a cool idea.
I remember those. I loved that room when I was little. That area of Epcot was so great as a kid insure do miss it
The Orlando Science Center had one back in the day as well. Like the size of a small dining table. So much fun
I remember playing with a big vertical one like the one in the video at a science museum in Norway
Was not expecting all of those pegs to be RESIN 3D Printed 🤩
Haha, it was YOU that gave us the confidence to do it.
IT TOOK SOOOOOO MUCH TIME 😄
Imagine how many hours or printers it would have taken with filament😅 Resin was the way to go
This is the reason why TH-cam channels are the future. Such a great community with collaborations, gifts, chatting and so much more. So cool to bear witness to this kind of video happening. We’ve come a long way since all the DIYers and Makers started posting independent videos way back when. Love this video! Love both you guys! Great content! Such an inspiration for people just starting out.
The cinematography on the welding montage was incredible. Nice work as always!
Awesome, thank you!
Heck yeah! Happy to see Mark and I have something in common, coming to this channel to see ideas on how to make my stuff.
Haha, thanks! We hope people can better themselves by watching our projects.
This was so much fun! Love it!
Thanks David! It was a blast.
I like how that music is always playing at mark robers' place and comes through the phone
The sound follows him around wherever he goes.
@@Iliketomakestuff that is truly epic
Josh's "safety mask" at the 8:22 mark was amazing. Blue tape is almost as versatile as duct tape! 😆
I'm so jealous of anyone that gets to spend time with Mark, on a daily basis. How could you ever have a bad day?
Next week, we're releasing a video of our time with Mark at Crunch Labs. We had soo much footage that didn't make it into this video. It was a blast!
it wouldve been so cool if there were more, smaller pins. I've actually seen one of these huge ones in real life recently with normal sized pins and it was really fun to mess around with.
Same
There's one like you describe in Glasgow Science Centre. Always fun.
kudos to the editor i like their style with all their little things they added they made this video a lot more enjoyable to watch :)
The best crossover ever. You could also make the pins out of thin acrylic and use led lights to light the pins....
That's a cool idea!
Really cool project! They have a Lifesize one at Children's Museum in Rochester NY. Or did 15 years ago... I always thought it would be fun to have one!!!
Now you know the painstaking process of making one for yourself!
@@Iliketomakestuff So cool but I'll leave it to the pros. Thanks for sharing the process! And the color difference was a clever effect! Thanks for all you do!
The dream maker collaboration once again. Great execution guys. Mark you know Kentucky is a nice place. Maybe go see Bob next time👍👍👊👊
I keep telling him that!! :)
@@Iliketomakestuff good because he’s due!!
I've been waiting for this collab/gift since you teased it on the Aftershow a few weeks ago. This project is amazing! I've loved this toy since I was a kid and making a human sized version is the perfect "big toys for big kids" build!
This was a huge project and we're so happy to finally share it with everyone.
I absolutely loved this 8-bit version of the 3D pin up art.
This was such a cool project, would have loved if there were more pins and closer together so the impression would come out cleaner/clearer but amazing work either way
Ready to see the major mash up, lets get Bob, Mark, Shane, Destin, Furze together for something EPIC!!
who shane?
@@MrJakson112 His channel is "Stuff Made here"
Really awesome!! Good job on the build. One small suggestion to! Install something on the wall that will A) Protect the wall from getting paint on it or damaged and B) Give the wall a little more thickness to help reset the board. You can see that the pins do not push back in all the way and having a little thicker surface, maybe in the shape of the inside of the frame, would help with that!!
That's so much fun!! The nieces and nephews are gonna love that
This video has solidified you as my favorite TH-camr. The Goat Bob.
Thank you so much!
Immediate comment within the first minute of the video- the gag of having the typical Mark Rober music sound like it's playing *over the phone* genuinely had me laughing *hard.* Absolutely love gags like that.
Hey Bob when you use tabs to align your weldments make them a little shorter than the thickness of the matting parts, it will be stronger and you won't have as much to grind to make it flat.
Good call!
I love the detail that Mark just happens to have his background music everywhere even when you call him over the phone.
Same with VSauce 😀
Now that pin wall is really freaking awesome Bob & Crew! Great work as usual! 👍👍👏👏
Thank you so much!
Amazing! I really like how you worked with the contrast between the blue and the white. That's nee and adds to it. In the video you can really see how it becomes kind of a scale, depending on how far the pins have been pushed out!
Love the idea of using the wall to reset! I would have created a roller that slides up/down the board to reset, similar feeling to a magnetic drawing board! Great work Bob!
That's a cool idea. We had to be sure the length of the pins didn't inhibit it from being reset. The wall or your roller idea couldn't put too much bending torque on those pins or they would reset.
What a great collaboration
Mark and Bob make great content
It'd be fun to have as an entrance door!
Love the project and collaboration and all, but just want to throw an extra thanks to Forby, Anthony, Josh, Ginny and now Meighan for their spectacular work behind the scenes. 👏 👏 👏
About a decade ago we got sub contracted to cut a sign for a fire department celebrating 80 years with a renovation. We spent two weeks painstakingly cutting and assembling the layers of foam, polycarbonate and painted wood only to have the installer punch a three inch round hole in the middle of it during installation.
On the day for the event celebrating 80 years. We had to drop our current project and cut an insert to disguise the hole.
Now when I see that foam being worked commercially I start to sweat.
Really happy this turned out the way it did!
(Thanks YT for a decent recommendation for once)
What a fun and cool idea and you all are killing it with the production quality lately!
How awesome that it's made for Mark Rober. This is maker content I enjoy the most, two brilliant makers. The hinges are something that must have taken a while to design.
Given some of the lab's use as an edutainment and hands-on center for younger Makers, I can see that board getting a LOT of use in the years to come! Besides, let's be honest, the "adults" are likely going to use that thing more than the kids lol
Great build from the team, and a great collaboration between two of the awesome teams in the Maker community!
That's so cool! I remember loving those pin boards when I was little! Awesome video!
Thanks! it was fun to make one super huge.
Great project and I am grateful to support this crazy exciting projects :)
Support like yours means the world to us. Thank you so much!
I'm glad you had the text pop up about how its been done before. Literally was playing with one at my local science center when I was younger, about 14 years ago. Lol
The bloopers are the best. Haha
Next week's Between the Builds video is full of fun moments of us all hanging out together.
I love how you can hear Mark’s background music through the call
It’s the small things
This was a dope build but I feel that the video would have been more exciting and entertaining if mark was surprised with the giant peg board - as g he was blindfolded, pressed into the board and then it was revealed to him what you guys made..
Great video!
One of the reasons I do support you. This is fun. The acting was superb really.
Haha, thanks. Cutting plywood is way easier than remembering lines.
There was (maybe still is) two of these things at a local children's museum (with actually quite fine pins). It is indeed very cool
That's cool. If you see them again, take some pictures and send them to us on social media. Josh would love to see how others did the same thing.
There's one of these in Cracow, Poland in Lem's garden. I think yours is better because the one in Poland uses metal rods and it hurts a little to do it with your whole body, but it's still fun. Great work, I'm subscribing!
Amazing ingenuity and finish. Nice work.
Thank you very much!
SO COOL my grandsons would love this!! Now I want to make one!! Thanks for showing
You should!
@@Iliketomakestuff I'll sure do, but not in the same way though. I believe I may be able to make a higher resolution version using a honeycomb grid which may be cut with a laser. Yeah, I'll have to pay a firm nearby to do that part, but the octagonal-shaped rods are not difficult to find, such as pencils for example which already have that form. 😃
Spray adhesive catch was so clean. Could not stop replaying
Wow! Pretty fantastic work, guys! Brilliant how you did it! 😃
Stay safe there with your families! 🖖😊
Yeah, this was awesome! We had a full body one at our local science museum - The McWane Center in Birmingham, AL.
Great work!
Amazing addition to the warehouse
I think so too!
this is single handedly my favorite video of this channel yet
That placard is awesome.
Thanks! It is laserable two-color plastic.
@@Iliketomakestuff I just love when a moment like that is commemorated. Now anyone who is at the Crunch Labs and sees it will be reminded! Just a great touch and makes the piece feel complete.
2 of my faves in the same video. amazing!
We love hanging out with Mark. Hopefully we'll do more of these together.
when I was a kid there was a place where they had kid sized ones and they had the really small pins and you could lay your whole body on them, unfortunately some kids would rip out the pins and eventually they removed them from the place.
when I watched this it was instant nostalgia something I had long forgotten. I remember kids pushing their face to make an indent on the otherside looking back probably very unsanitary.
We went back and forth on the density of the pins, but figured that 1,000 of them was enough.
9:47 I don't know why that brought a smile to my face lol
AGAIN, a funny and Great Project. Its so much fun to Watch your Videos. 😂👍
Thank you for including those bloopers XD
Wonderworks in Pidgeon Forge, TN has 3 of these next to each other, with higher resolution, and is reset with a motor. This is still pretty cool, and I like the contrast between the white caps and the blue shafts.
Resets with a motor? I have to check that out.
I remember seeing a much higher resolution version of one of these at the museum of science and industry in Chicago when I went there on a field trip as a kid. Probably would've been around the year 2000. I should go see if it's still there lol.
Science World in Vancouver has a big one like that! It was fun as a kid to get a whole body outline of yourself! Heck, it's still fun
Two of my favorite youtubers, together 😯
YES!!! Love this collab so much.
OMG BOB AND MARK IN ONE VIDEO MY YEARS OF FOLLOWING PAID OFF
I remember there being a giant table version of one of these in a childrens’ science museum I went to as a kid.
Really enjoyed this build and the mark rober cross over
Best collab in the making!
Thanks! It was really fun
Great project !!! I hope you will get the help you need to be able to continue create and i am sorry for not be able to contribute (at least for present ) cause i am unemployed . I wish i will be able to support my self for creating my own ideas but i am already grateful that you are still out there providing ideas and tips . Thank you guys (from Greece)!! ❤
wow, I think it was that Super Soaker collab with Mark that first sent me to ILTMS!! so I guess thanks are in order to one of my favorite youtubers for showing me another one of my favorite youtubers!!
Dream project for the dream collab! Great stuff!
Nice catch on that spray adhesive!
First try.
I like the idea that Mark's music is always playing when he's on camera
You can even hear it over a phone call 😂
Yeah that was a fun addition. We like to think that Mark has that theme playing all around him all the time.
I love how mark rober's theme is always playing in his office and you can hear it from the phone in the beginning XD
The pinnacle of pin toys! The reset function is really clever.
It reminds me of a set of doors we had when I worked in a recording studio, we needed access to a room in the next building so we made a doorway through a wall that was 2-3 feet thick. We fitted 2 padded doors to stop any sound and what was left was a gap that you could stand in. If one of the doors had the pins in it it would have been so funny.
I just used to hide in the gap. 😄
i've been a subscriber for quite a while and your welding skills have come such a long way!
Was expecting some out takes of Josh and the 3 day delivery journey to California...as always excellent video of two of my favorite TH-cam teams.
Next week's video is all about our trip to Mark's and includes some of Josh's trip
yep...I'll take lunch now to watch!!
Haha! thanks!
I made one about 7 years ago and called it Human Pin Press. Some client wanted it for a convention or something, can't really remember now, but I got a bunch of chrome pins made from a local Fab Lab and the rest of it was made from 3/4 inch ply.
Such a cool project and collaboration!
Incredible! Two of my favourite people! Also, if you're ever in Vancouver BC, find visit Science World! They have a huge one, with lots more pins!
They used to have a giant pinboard at the Melbourne Museum here in Australia, I don't know if they still have it but it was so cool as a kid.
They had one of these at the child’s museum that i used to go to when i was younger. The tubes were the tiny, thin ones and i remember it being big enough for a small family. They would reset it with a flat square thing.
Welding in the dark looks so cool! In my 10 years of welding I've never gotten a photo like that. I need to correct that.
Love the moderately-old-timey phones at the beginning, which may or may not have been connected to anything.
Smoothest catch ever bob.
That’s toss was so smooth Bob.
Class act by Mark giving you a piece of his paraphernalia to raffle off in your Patreon. Good dude!
Awesome Bob. I like to see you make stuff and get a patreon. Thx for your entertainment
I grew up with a red wall mounted rotary phone exactly like that! We used that until my parents dropped their land line in the late 2000's - early '10's.
Having a direct line to our internet friends is pretty handy.
There’s been a life sized pin board at the San Jose Children’s Discovery Museum for like 40 years. There’s even a smaller one at the San Jose Airport.
Really? We flew out of the San Jose airport and didn't see it.
@@Iliketomakestuff there is a small playground in Terminal B that is sponsored by the Discovery Museum. That’s where it is.
This video made my day. Thank you so much for doing videos like this.
There is one giant one already in a German science education museum center called the Universum in the city Bremen. This one uses moastly the classic Mettal pin design. Yours is cool to
forgot to mention there's a museum here in Mexico City aimed at teaching children about science and stuff where they had one of these. it was one of my favorite things there, but it always had a line. not sure if it's still there, though, it's been years since my last visit...
Museum in my town used to have a life sized pinboard! Was my first experience with one.
