I'm a quilter & I want to work with complex tessellations. I have a M C Escher book. Anyway you popped up on my recommended. For the goth ball I think a clear plastic cell would have been great for revealing the spiders.😊
I was really worried for a second because I didn’t realize you had moved the videos over to this account. But anyways, this is very creative and interesting to watch. I’m looking forward to whatever you make next
In case you were curious, the tool that you said you didn't know the name of has a couple of names. The one I use is "pricking iron", though there is some debate about that since it punches through the leather rather than prices it to be punched with an awl. Pricking iron, stitching punch... eh 🤷♂️
I've seen the Instagram videos, but I loved watching this long-form video. And your laugh when you got your first kicks in - priceless. I'm a beginner leathercrafter and big fan of the game. Love your work and enthusiasm.
You could number the pieces in the program and then number the pieces on the inside of the ball. That would make things less complicated I imagine. Could use a paint pen with a light color to write on darker leather.
If you want to make a torus (donut) shaped ball you'll need to use heptagons for the inner equator, equalling the number of pentagons going around the outside. I have constructed such an object out of paper and posted a video on it on my channel, if you would like see how you could construct it, but I don't have a high quality production, and I'm kind of awkward at presenting things. Incidentally it also has 12 pentagons, though this isn't strictly necessary for objects with Euler characteristic zero. Anyway just something to consider.
Probably figured this out by now but instead of going cell by cell join them into panels then sew the panels together so you don't lose track of your shapes
This is really cool, the end result is great and learning about the whole process was really interesting. Just a question, do you plan on releasing the football program thing for others to use? I understand if not, but I’m still asking because I’d love to play around in it and maybe even make a ball or two of my own.
I’m sure you have found out- but just in case: to find out if an air line part or e.g. inflated ball has a pin point air leak: use soapy water. Your local hardware store will likely sell a water/soap solution “Snoop” if you are US based. (Professional tradesman and women will have better advice than me; I just do research science and build a number of odd scientific machines.)
I discovered you through your RUclips shorts and thankfully stumbled upon the full videos on your channel from there. I was hooked and watched every one of your shorts. I love seeing your raw enthusiasm and commitment to learning at every stage of the process. You never got down on yourself about mistakes and had hope through to the end that the result would be incredible. And it was! You’ve inspired me as a creative to not only spend more time learning a craft and sharpening skills, but also finding unique and entertaining ways to share that with the world.

30:10 Best way to test for a puncture is to pump it up and dunk it in water. If you see bubbles, Bob's your uncle.

was looking for this comment.. why on earth!
I’m just seeing all this and it’s amazing I love it

Or you could do a torus with all hexagons :-) (or indeed, any polygon with an even number of sides!)
@@tompw3141 True, however then more care needs to be put into sizing the hexagons to be smaller in the inner equator.

bike mechanic here. put the bladder under water. if we have bubbles, we have a hole
I just saw this video and it seems really cool!!! Where did you find the reference sheets in case I wanted to try and make my own ball??

You should do a ball in a pattern of a real tiger
I think I would really like to do this work.
sick crib too

Do you make balls to order and on the way to other countries? I would be interested. You do a great job. Greetings from Colombia.
He just started a company called 12 pentagons but he hasn’t started selling things yet. The link is in his Instagram
is the program for colouring the panels open source?
Have you ever found out about this?
no sadly not
