Many intriguing woodworking concepts here. Aside from the overall mechanism which is perfectly executed....I like how you made those little rings! I make rings and stack them up to make containers but I have a tendency to overthink / over complicate things. Thanks for the inspiration!
For everyone wondering about the 1.18 X is how many degrees you want to travel (in this case is 360/5 = 72) the formula to get the multiplier is: sin(X/2)*2 so in this case sin(72/2)*2 = 1.18
Pretty smart idea. I would have taken those wooden rings that suspend the balls and routed inside the tops of them to match the curve of the ball. It would have much less friction. Also, you could route the underside of the top disk that rides on top of the balls with the same type of routing bit using a circle jig; so the balls will have more surface area to ride on which will minimize wear.
I would wax all the inner parts including the bearings. That would give the wood a nice protective coating and also help it roll smoothly. I have a set of bamboo crochet hooks. When I got them they were in usable condition, but the yarn would still grab onto the minute fibers of the hook causing annoying drag and unnecessary wear on the yarn. I sanded them with very fine steel wool and very fine emery boards meant for finger nails. Then I dripped hot wax on the hooks and polished them to a nice sheen. Now they work even better with the yarn and it's easier to crochet with them and they don't cause drag and wear on the yarn any more.
Someone has probably already mentioned this (I don't have time or patience to read through a year of RUclips comments) but the finishing touch to this awesome project should be a skirt attached to the top disc to keep dust out and prolong the life of the whole thing. Great work and demonstrations!
It was very helpful I am making makeup holders for my sisters and mother and I did not want to use plates and marbles so watching this gave me a great idea and will help a lot thank you
Another great idea Mr. Jack! I need something in my workshop for my small cans of stain,and paints,and your lazy Susan is just the thing to bring them all back out of the tote. Perhaps I'll try a free spinning multi-tiered where one level will spin counter clockwise,and another spins clockwise,and vise versa. Thank you; Mr. Jack for another awesome video!
Good design Jack. No need to route out a groove for the balls to ride in. I take it the rings are just to hold the center circle so its lined up with the center of the balls.
Very clever. Have you made videos showing how to make the measuring items you used in this video? I realize I can go to the store and purchase something similar, but, to me, working with wood is all about the journey, not the destination. Very nicely done!!
To anyone else watching this wanting to know more about how he divides the circle, it's done using what's called "Chord length", the distance between two points on a circle's circumference if drawing a line directly between them. The basic equation is: chord length = Diameter * sin (180/number of holes)
This is a neat idea. However, I suspect some slop (looseness) will develop as the balls wear. Plywood is very hard and rough and the inside of those circles might wear the balls out of round. So might they dry or warp out of round. Have you put this under any strain for any length of time?
Jack, I noticed your hands seems a bit stiff. I have a friend with something similar maybe even the same cause. Based on that I have to give you serious respect, it is very hard to work with and you make it look easy. Great job, keep it up.
+Wolf Angel If I had to guess, rheumatoid arthritis. It's severely painful, and in most cases, the joints freeze up, and can't move. :( Yes, he's *amazing*!
Xayla V thank you. I was thinking that it might be. With my friend though she has a growth disorder where the tendons in her hands did not grow to length and caused a similar affect.

Jack , have you ever cut the circle on the table saw before? It is actually a really neat way to do it. I don't have a band saw yet, so a friend of mine made me a jig for this actual idea.
Nicely done! Just what I was looking for. I need to make a 25" table. Are those balls sitting on the rings or do they sit inside and roll on the bottom plate?
Brilliant - well done, and I laughed out loud when you tested it by standing on it at the end... How about motorising it now aka Matthias Wandel? But maybe don't stand on it...!
Great job sir. I'm a pretty positive person and your design is very creative. My only concern is the end where you stand on the Lazy Susan. Well, seeing that a Lazy Susan is used mostly as a shoe rack you show that virtually your 2 shoes take up all the space and you would only be able to put 1 shoe per pie slot. That being the case if u have 5 slots and don't have a 1 legged person that only needs to wear 1 shoe you're gonna have sort of a dilemma. Think you need a bigger scale. Great work though. Seriously.
Another excellent job Jake. How did you make the balls? that would be a great video its self :-) P.S. Now I have to google, Lazy Suzan! cos I dont know what it is and never heard of it untill today lol :-)
Hi jack, you got me thinking how got 1.18. It took me a while since i haven't done any trigonometry for a while and for those who is wondering 1.18 = 2 x sin (36 degree)
Very much so. I may not have noticed if I didn't see the comment, but since you said it all I can think of is my 6th grade friend who held everything in a very different way...
He obviously has something debilitating going on with his hands. Perhaps severe arthritis. I worry, as I had early onset arthritis(psoriatic arthritis), and have had a limp in my left knee since high school. I am a programmer by trade, and some days the pain in my hands is unbearable. I am only 32, but I have already caught myself on bad days holding things in weird ways that is more comfortable. My second love, electronics, is a challenge, as I can no longer '3 hand' solder, as my fingers have lost dexterity. Thank god for helping hands :)
Cat From The Future What the fuck is wrong with you? You seem to have a social awkwardness where you speak without thinking. Aspergers perhaps? You don’t come to someone’s channel and talk about them as if they aren’t even here, never-mind reading your dumbass comment. And to the rest of you who chimed in...shame on you too 👎🏼
You may have seen it in a lot of places,and just not realized. The one we have at home is in our cabinet we use it for a revolving spice rack. My wife has maybe 50 different small bottles on,and you just slowly spin it around until you find the spice your looking for. All those spices fit nicely on basically a square foot of space. Some are even multi-tiered. Just think of it as a revolving space saver for whatever you need it for.

I am impressed by all of the wooden homemade tools involved. I especially liked the wooden caliper. Well done!

the formula to get the multiplier is: sin(X/2)*2

Wow! I need calculus in woodworking?!! My teacher never told me that!! Thanks, I was wondering..

We really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Great skills man. Really enjoyed watching this...Lol, and I thought I was technical....pure genius!

Thank you ever so much for the idea ,I love the things you do . All the best from Spain , Un saludo !
What a wonderful project Jack I really enjoyed this !
fantastic. I love all those tools you have built too!

+Theresa S. It is fun if you can make your own tools. Check my playlist for these tools.
Mr. you are genius ! Congratulations from Antioquia mountains ! all very col and the Caliper veri nice!
Wonderful thank you! I have collected balls from plastic deodorant containers and will follow your instructions on this excellent video.
Lovely.
I was looking for just such a thing, to use in a revolving book case.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Your project is very good, sorry. How did you make spheres?, tank you.
Beautiful job Jack, will deffinitley be making one.
I'm going to make a few of these for my cabinets, Thanks so much for the Video, Great Job!
Jack you are awesome man that is wonderful thanks for sharing
Jack - Another great idea. Great job with the video capture too. Each one you do is getting better and better.
Really nice build... Love your wooden tools

Did you make them round balls? And so how did you make them?
Cool idea. Never seen one like that, before. Good job
Muy artesanal precioso, me encanto como usas las medidas con madera. Gracias por compartir!!!
Thank you for sharing how you build all these wonderful gadgets!
The part where you divided the circle into 5 EXACTLY was absolute magic! :-)
***** My pleasure .:-)
What is the equation to work out the different measurements needed for different numbers of segments?
What a cool idea.
Your video's are getting better and better all the time.
Wow!!! So cool. You're awesome Jack, another great video
Great video Jack
Very good Mr Jack.
Very impressive !! Thank you very much !
This guy deserves more subscriptions.
Added 1. You are correct.

Excellent Jack! Why multiply by 1.18? I’m stumped.
Nice job jack, is there a vid on how to make those balls??
You have great wooden tools gauges i like the Dremel drill press can you please post links to how to make them
Really clever!!! Thank you for sharing this video!

I hope it is not painful
ITS TOO BAD SOME PEOPLE OUT THERE CAN'T TELL THAT YOU HAVE ARTHRITIS IN YOUR HANDS. YOUR THE MAN!!!!
Oh wow! It's not complicated and nice.

Oh, I love the full wood calliper!!
Nice woodmanship, btw.
Beautiful piece. Dimensions of all components, hole sizes etc. would have been nice.
So interesting how you you drew the circle on the panel before cutting
Nice job
Excellent job, nice video.
nice,also love how all your tools have wood as well.
i wish i could buy it,since i dont have any tools to made it.
Gracias Amigo Jack me encantan tus videos me suscribo tu amigo Jose desde Paramount ca saludos,
Jack , have you ever cut the circle on the table saw before? It is actually a really neat way to do it. I don't have a band saw yet, so a friend of mine made me a jig for this actual idea.
Looks great. Do you think it will work if I add more smaller balls and make the wood thinner?
Thank you
very nice job.
you are a real inspiration, thank you for sharing your skills with us :)
I missed something. What happened to the rings? Are they all glued at the bottom? How are they not sliding off the square base. I'm lost. there.
Amazing!! thank you!! Brilliant!!!
I bet if you cut a groove in the top circle the 2 boards would sit closer together.
Brilliant.
Nicely done! Just what I was looking for. I need to make a 25" table. Are those balls sitting on the rings or do they sit inside and roll on the bottom plate?
Brilliant - well done, and I laughed out loud when you tested it by standing on it at the end... How about motorising it now aka Matthias Wandel? But maybe don't stand on it...!
tank you for this important documentary.
Very good, as you built caliber?, thank you !!
When you decided to split the circle into fifths why didn't you just take a compass and measure out five 72 degree increments from a starting radius?
excellent work
Great design
That's very elegant wood calipers ...did you make that ?
great idea. this could really help with my spray painting. it looks strong.

1.18? hehe How does that times radius give the distance between each of the five centers? Thanks!
nicely done, be careful on that thing lol
Great idea 👽👍
Fantastic! Thank you for sharing...
Awesome.
Thanks for the video .nice job ...

P.S. Now I have to google, Lazy Suzan! cos I dont know what it is and never heard of it untill today lol :-)
How can i do thos with only two peices of wood?
Great craftsman!
Hi jack, you got me thinking how got 1.18. It took me a while since i haven't done any trigonometry for a while and for those who is wondering 1.18 = 2 x sin (36 degree)
HERMOSO TRABAJO Y GRACIAS POR COMPARTIRLO JORGE
I feel like he articulates his hands strangely.

Jack, love your fine caliper and dowel stop gauge! Did you make these yourself. I love all your ideas and how to process them into an actual project
Uma forma prática de fazer em casa uma bandeja ou prato giratório para confeitar bolo
very ingenious
Thank you jack 👍
I have to have some of that powder!
great job my friend
Impressive
where does the multiplier of 1.18 for dividing a circle into 5 come from.
It's an approximation of 2sin(36) = 1.175570...
That is so cool & admirable!
and what's that thing used for? I've never seen this anywhere.....
You may have seen it in a lot of places,and just not realized. The one we have at home is in our cabinet we use it for a revolving spice rack.
