I have another geometric form to release that will be _much_ simpler to build! I promise! Expect that in a few weeks, after some other diversions. In the meantime, have a great weekend ;)
Am I the only one that finds Pocket's editing skills getting better?... I mean the play with depth and mirrors... the circular saw popping up (I could hear the poor walnut screaming in fear)... EXCELLENT... Thanks Pocket... looking forward!!!
Thank you! It's really not hard. Just pick a complicated shape, and then stare at it for a week. Then the answers will just come to you! The problems start when you want to _stop_ thinking about the shape.
It's been said by a few people now, (in fact I've probably said it myself) but this is my favourite channel. I've even recommended it to people with no interest in woodwork.
You made a wood mobius-like strip, and at first, I couldnt tell how the heck it was standing up, then it finally hit me. Very cool, btw love the guinea pig!
i love the way that in your videos you have a small mirror set up that almost shows your face or it does but its massively out of focus or just off to the side you have a framed photo of mathias wendal thank you for putting small cool things like that in your videos it just adds something to them i dont really know how to explain it
If I hadn’t become a professional musician, I would have loved to further explore my appreciation for woodworking. I can really appreciate the artistry and finesse with which you work your craft, especially with the micrometer. Wow! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks John;) I held off getting one for a long time, but it turned out to be way better than I'd guessed. It's like 15$ at Harbor Crap. I HIGHLY recommend the sanding function/trick.
It certainly created wonder for me. This is a wonderful demonstration and your thought process and skills are very impressive. The final piece is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I like the sound effects when it's in fast forward *like a little chipmunk* to me, it represents the sound of my "time not wasted"; Thank you for that :-)
Say... I just realized this is my favorite channel. If it were a tall, black-haired wadge from Aerosmiths' Angel video I couldn't wish to travel it any more...
A GREAT job. You were very good at explaining the process. Probably FAR over MY head but will surely try it thanks to your ability to simplify. Thank you for sharing.
i appreciate the use of a coping saw in the task of an elegant tool, as the difference between types of saws becomes significantly clearer to me and the intricate nature of the task at hand demanded the usage of a much finer and more precise tool than something such as a hacksaw or a multi-tool
Inspiring video. I immediately cut about 20cm of thin steel gardening wire, formed a trefoil and distorted it into something like the shape you show. As you suggest, the shape is hard to visualise and a 3d prototype is vital, for me anyway... The shapes are topologically equivalent. For anyone who doesn't know how to make a trefoil: take a piece of string and form the outline of a three-leaf clover following the rule that as you trace along the string the overlaps alternate over, under, over.... you get a single loop that can't be disentangled in 3 dimensional space. I believe it can be in 4 or 5 dimensions. .. I love celtic knots!
Such a very intricate process, and such a cool outcome. I would definitely mess this up so many times if I even had the tools to make it, but I still enjoyed watching how you did it.
I've carved a ball in a box, which was fairly easy to visualize as I was working on it; just get rid of anything that's not the ball or the box. This is a great challenge, thanks.
This video was interesting and I watched the whole thing. Once when I was in scouts, I thought by myself of the idea of making a closed trefoil knot out of one piece of wood and was planning to get my knife permit so that I could make one but I never got it before I finished scouts a long time ago and never made one. I later saw a suggestion to this video showing that somebody else independently thought of the same idea and that's why I watched it. I was going to make a more round trefoil knot. I'm still allowed to use a knife in the restaurant where I work despite the fact that I didn't get a knife permit in scouts but hopefully no restaurant told somebody to cut wood with a knife who didn't get a knife permit in scouts when the restaurant didn't provide their own training either because wood offers a lot of resistance to the movement of a knife and a lot of people can't figure out on their own how to use a knife properly.
...& done, thank you, it was a challenge, took over 5 hrs but I didnt use the transfers, I graphed 7x7 squares on each side [of the cube] and colored in the smiley faces in each color, so when I drilled and cut away I still knew which side was which,, this came in very handy at the final stages when the bricks need to be cut to an L for the lightening strike.. bit.. If anyone uses the transfers, color them in, do all sides, it will be worth it when you're close to completion, and to Jeremy, thank you for the aluminium block improvisation tutorial, it helped viewing your cuts with the hacksaw rather than the table saw at times.. all round, Im thrilled with how it's turned out, i'm not a trades person, carpenter nor any skilled wood-worker, this project is for everyone, do not get scared when you're at the final stage, I had to make x3 cuts (leaps) of faith and the piece of art revealed itself.. poetry.. thank you Pocket.. just thank you. :) - Julio
Thank you, that last few cuts and the knuckles revealed the diamond in the rough & brought on a smile like I was just dealt the Ace I needed to go all in.. I was forced to draw the squares as I couldn't print out perfect sized templates for the cube of wood I'd sourced, Jeremys vid of drawing the faces with colored lines inspired me to do same on the cube.. it didnt come out the prettiest as I used a dremel workstation and a hand saw... but it's complete, solid, and now to build one to put on display in the house.. many times during the project I wondered how in hell you figured it out.. it made me realise I had simple task compared to what mental suffering you must have gone through.. :D It's something for life, and will be a wonderful conversation piece, my thanks cannot be expressed in txt enough.. I cant stop looking at it.. :) Thank you Pocket.. - Julio.
I appreciate that! Not to sound pretentious, but I really put thought into visual appeal. The shiny bowl, the colored pencils- it's all staged. The design is found more in the video than in the object; the trefoil knot is just our MacGuffin. It's a golden carrot that we chase to show that we can make anything we want.
I Appreciate the time and effort you put into making these videos! Your style and art's so relaxing. Wish I could have an ounce of your creativity and patience. Thanks again!
Very good use of that vibrating saw/sander. I also noticed you left the inside corners radiused instead of squaring them up - that would greatly increase the strength, or at least decrease the chance of splitting/breaking at an inside corner. Good job, and a nice bonus tip at the end.
This is incredible! I had never even thought of this, and had someone told me I would have assumed it would not be possible. Great work Mr. Pocket! I saw you have more coming soon. I hope to see more 3D geometric wood projects. Maybe a Mobius loop?
Hey Pocket, very cool project! Most of the time I can take something away from your video's even if it's a project I don't plan on replicating myself. This time it was spray adhesive sandpaper to your multitool at 15:35. That's just a plain stroke of genius if you ask me! I use the sanding triangle on mine often enough, but using either a scraper attachment or an old blade with sandpaper glued on gives this often times overlooked tool even more versatility!
Great overview. I'm about as thick as a wool blanket on the Berlin Wall, but I understood it. The rounded inside corners and the hard outside corners were an interesting choice.
I think the beauty in this is its rigid single piece. I think the real "puzzle" is admiring how it was made. (Like the classic nail in a block puzzle) The loose puzzle versions would just seem "put together".
Hi pocket83! This is an awesome project and thank you for designing it and going through the effort to make the video. I made this out of aluminum and made a video to share with friends and family, but wanted to give you credit where it's due.
I’m feeling priviledged to watch such a great craftmanship and expertise at play, and so much dedication put to what you do. I enjoy things getting done well, really well. Most of the time with such a high level of expectation, that I get disappointed. But this time I was not disappointed. Cheers !

There are drills that makes square holes.
Using one of those will speed up the manufacturing process..... i think :p

Stunning. Best craftsmanship I've seen in a long time.
Wow. Thank you! You might even say that this one is _extra fancy._

awesome! I love your videos!
+pocket83 Instructions unclear, my woodshop has burned to the ground, it may have involved gasoline and a road flare, also, I dont have a woodshop, :)

look forward to it.
+pocket83 On a 0 - 10 Scale, how hard was this?
I don't know why, but suddenly this is my favorite channel.
Somehow i don't get bored watching videos of this channel, even the long ones.
I don't know why but after watching this video I feel like this is the best channel I've seen on RUclips recently.
Am I the only one that finds Pocket's editing skills getting better?... I mean the play with depth and mirrors... the circular saw popping up (I could hear the poor walnut screaming in fear)... EXCELLENT... Thanks Pocket... looking forward!!!
DUDE. This is fricking awesome! Great job figuring out how to cut and shape it like that.
Thank you! It's really not hard. Just pick a complicated shape, and then stare at it for a week. Then the answers will just come to you!
The problems start when you want to _stop_ thinking about the shape.
After watching further into this video, I have to say that this is my favorite channel now.
It's been said by a few people now, (in fact I've probably said it myself) but this is my favourite channel. I've even recommended it to people with no interest in woodwork.
Very nicely done. The final piece looked as if one section is detached and floating, which is part of the overall illusion. Nice!
Junk Pile O matic is my favorite channel. But for some reason I am fond of this channel also.
You made a wood mobius-like strip, and at first, I couldnt tell how the heck it was standing up, then it finally hit me. Very cool, btw love the guinea pig!
Hats off to you dude. Geometry wasnt my thing in HS and apparently still isnt today but watching you make it was fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

I don't understand why I like this channel so much, nice build.
I learned 5 things in this video, not even counting the last tip. Thanks and subscribed.
Pound for pound, this channel has the most tips jam-packed into it.
I'm always happy when a new pocket83 is in my queue.
The machining process is superb, but the design process reveals your genius!

Nice practical use for one of those oscillating saws, both to cut and to sand.
Thanks John;) I held off getting one for a long time, but it turned out to be way better than I'd guessed. It's like 15$ at Harbor Crap. I HIGHLY recommend the sanding function/trick.
A really intriguing display of geometric woodworking. Absolutely impressive. I may just give that a shot. Thanks for the video.
this is surprisingly calming, especially your voice and the sound of the power tools
this is my favorite channel
your perfectionist style is so satisfying to watch!
Thanks again Mr Pocket for another craft project! Your videos are great viewing no matter how long they are.
It certainly created wonder for me. This is a wonderful demonstration and your thought process and skills are very impressive. The final piece is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome, great build. Those little vibratory tools get into a lot of places that a hacksaw can't reach.
I love the really fast flashes of text. Nice touch!
I like the sound effects when it's in fast forward *like a little chipmunk* to me, it represents the sound of my "time not wasted"; Thank you for that :-)
I'm especially impressed at your artistic choice to leave some interior corners rounded. Just beautiful!
Thank you for taking the time to share this amazing wood working!
The quality of these videos is getting better all the time. Amazing shots, great content, love the vids!
i really love how accurate and precise your work always is and its so relaxing to watch and enjoy,i love your vidoes
Is it bad that my favourite bit of this vid was you sticking sandpaper to a multimaster? That trick if it works is going to save me years on my life
Say... I just realized this is my favorite channel. If it were a tall, black-haired wadge from Aerosmiths' Angel video I couldn't wish to travel it any more...
A GREAT job. You were very good at explaining the process. Probably FAR over MY head but will surely try it thanks to your ability to simplify. Thank you for sharing.
I can see you put a lot of effort in your videos, it makes the viewing experience very pleasant. Thank you.
I love your guinea pig! So cute!!!
That was really awesome! Makes me wanna get some wood working tools and start making things.
You're most certainly a Craftsman that's for sure. love your videos
I just can't get over how beautiful that piece of wood is
im not even into woods and carpentry but man you're aweeesooome!!

oh man! your videos are so relaxing to watch, really sophisticated and well presented!
I should go to sleep but i'll just watch until i fall a sleep
Love these vids with off the beaten path ideas. Well explained, well edited, not a lot of nonsense. Great job!
Such a very intricate process, and such a cool outcome. I would definitely mess this up so many times if I even had the tools to make it, but I still enjoyed watching how you did it.
I don't know what it is, but seeing you work with wood is oddly relaxing.
Nice project, and thanks for the spout tip. I marvel at the trefoil, but I would fondle the cube for weeks and never cut it.
i really enjoy your complex simple woodworking deally with shapes like this in three dimensions. keep up the challenging work!
You are a man of great patience!
Accurate calculations, good planning, precise machining, beautiful result 👍
I've carved a ball in a box, which was fairly easy to visualize as I was working on it; just get rid of anything that's not the ball or the box. This is a great challenge, thanks.

Wow! Patience, Curiosity, Determination & Experience = Magic.
smart and patience! Thanks for showing me the trick of applying sandpaper to my multi-tool blade! Love it! daaaa!
Another great project, bit of thinking required here though.
It just looks fantastic as a conversational display.
Thanks for the idea.
I wonder if a mortising attachment for the drill press might make things easier? Very cool project. Will have to try this.

(Just in case someone doesn't know... I find that story interesting, though.)
I Appreciate the time and effort you put into making these videos! Your style and art's so relaxing. Wish I could have an ounce of your creativity and patience. Thanks again!
I always loved pieces without joints, made from a single part... I know it is too much harder but the result is great. Nice job.
Very good use of that vibrating saw/sander. I also noticed you left the inside corners radiused instead of squaring them up - that would greatly increase the strength, or at least decrease the chance of splitting/breaking at an inside corner. Good job, and a nice bonus tip at the end.
Your videos are surprisingly relaxing. First time viewer and I will definitely be coming back to see more!

Great overview. I'm about as thick as a wool blanket on the Berlin Wall, but I understood it. The rounded inside corners and the hard outside corners were an interesting choice.
I'd say you were clever enough to notice that. Radius corners add much strength. Thanks.
I think the beauty in this is its rigid single piece. I think the real "puzzle" is admiring how it was made. (Like the classic nail in a block puzzle)
The loose puzzle versions would just seem "put together".
This is slick! I'm tempted to make one, but freely admit that I do not have the patience to do so. (One reason I'm a turner. ;) ) Well done!
Very neat, I'm going to have to try 3d printing this. This is my favorite channel.
that was so worth the effort, well done.
