Oh my gosh i love oloids!!! What a great idea! That was one serious feat of engineering and problem solving, and the end result is just too cool!! And you chose one gorgeous stone to work with!! Absolutely fantastic idea! Awesome video as always and huuuge thanks for being a part of the challenge!!!😄
Thanks for inviting me again, Theo! I had a ball doing this. The rock wasn't chosen for it's beauty, but for its size. It turned out to be beautiful too.
Well, there's one stone that'll gather no moss. Sorry, I couldn't resist. This really showcased your problem solving skills.
There was some problem solving along the way for sure. There were probably some better ways to do some things, but I was just glad to get the job done.
What a fun challenge, and you wailed on it good, for the win! I must say this is one I won’t be trying to replicate…..no saw or cab machine.
You do the hobby a great service every time you share. Thanks for all of the effort to share. Stay safe!
Thanks, John. I don't think I'll be making another one of these either. I really enjoyed doing this once, but once was enough.
Bless your heart, Rob, for making this for the Maker's Challenge. I've seen oloids before, but never have seen one made. My head still doesn't want to wrap around it even though your demo model showed it clearly and your finished product looked incredible. Good work!!
This was right up my ally. Good 'ol Thomas came through for me with the perfect suggestion.
That is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time! Cheers to you Rob! A challenge we’ll done. Thanks Thomas for the idea!
Thanks! It was a fun project to do, even though I wasn't sure how it was going to go a few times along the way.
That's really cool, Rob. I've seen those carved from wood and molded from clay, but I've never seen one carved by hand from stone. This is a big success!
I was very happy with the way it turned out. I don't think it's perfect, but to just look at it, it's hard to see any flaws. You know how flaws bug me, right?
Oh my goodness!! I hope everyone understands the complexity in what you just did with a rock!! That was amazing lapidary work! You are a wizard sir! Turned out perfect.
It was challenging for sure. The hardest part was cutting a natural rock into a nice square block.
I couldn't quite grasp the concept until your paper circles. I love this! Thank you so much for this! It's cool and it's beautiful!
The circles helped me out a lot. I looked at a lot of different videos and websites to try to understand the shape. I tried to share what helped me the most.
I love learning new things! Awesome project. The paper demo was very helpful in understanding this Escher-like shape.
Yes it was. I found it really helpful so I shared it with you.
So glad you included the 2 circle demo. It made it easy to understand the concept. You did a great job on the rock!
Thanks, Jennifer!
O Rob! You really nailed this one!! I give you the WIN for Most Challenging Concept piece! Wow -- fabulous!
Thanks, Sally.
Amazing Rob!! This is definitely a top shelf project for the maker’s challenge!!!
Thanks, Michelle!
Amazing project and also really beautiful! The green rock turned to be a hit! Congratulations
I was going to do this with a better rock, but I didn’t have anything big enough. I wasn’t sure how good this rock was, but it turned out to be really nice.
Sublimely fantabulous. Thank you for making my head spin lol. Truely great!
I’m glad you had fun with it too, Marie.
I could not for the life of me figure out how you were going to make that. Was clear as mud until you showed the paper version. Then it clicked. That is so awesome. You nailed it. Thank you so much for sharing.
I didn't understand it myself until part way through the process. I did this over about three days and watched some videos and looked at pictures along the way.
Oh my gosh, we just laughed out loud when you said your confidence in the project was fluctuating. Haha i like these challenges, keeps us wondering right to the end! We’re enjoying this so much.
I sure was wondering until the end. I never completely lost hope, but each new step had me concerned. It was a fun project to do.
Great video! You had said it was challenging while you were making it, but I had no idea it was THAT challenging. It turned out really cool, and I'm glad it was a success.
I was pretty sure it was that challenging from the get go. I knew that just getting a nice, square block was going to be difficult.
Thanks for suggesting this project Thomas! 👏 I had never heard of an oloid and I think they are amazing.😊
You really made this Makers Challenge challenging. You had so much patience with this project. It turned out so well.
It was a little challenging, but fun too.
Rock and roll hehehehe awesome project thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it.,
This is so cool!!!! It was a bit of a mind bender at the beginning! But it turned out great and the paper model really helped! Thank you for bringing us along!!!
Sure bent my mind. I think it's finally getting straightened out.
This is such a neat little thing! I love it! I don't think I'd be able to figure out the geometry to even attempt to make one of these. So cool!
Sure you would. It's not all that complicated. There was some confusion along the way, but when you see it in person, it makes more sense.
Lol @8:49 as a fellow math person I was like "Oooo non-Euclidean lines. Better use a laser to project it!" and then I giggled when you actually did. This project was right up your alley!
Yeah, that had me stumped for a few minutes. I kept thinking I had a good plan just to find that it didn't work. It's always fun to learn new stuff. The laser was a life saver.
That's actually way cooler than I thought nice job Rob !!!
Thanks, Motohead!
Awesome project, I really enjoy how well you explain it all. Thank you for sharing this with us, I learned quite a bit from it! You are a natural born teacher.
Thanks, Lauren. I'm glad you liked it.
Wow Rob, this is fantastic, what a great idea Thomas! This is so cool, great video. Thanks for sharing your passion and hard work, thanks for what you do. Keep on inspiring!
Thanks, Nic, I had a fun time with this.
such a cool carving, glad you persevered!! seeing the process was very interesting, and what a beautiful choice of stone!
I wasn’t sure about that rock, but it turned out to be really nice. I know I made some turtles out of the other half of that rock, but I couldn’t remember how they tumbled. I would have liked to put this in the Lot-O but I just didn’t know if it would undercut some.
Ooooh! I'm feeling polished rock envy☺️that was a very good video. Watching you figure it out and try some more. Now, Do it Again!🕊️🖖👋👋
I might do something else challenging, but one of these is enough for me.
My head is exploding!!! I had no doubt that you would succeed!!! That is the coolest project yet!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I had some doubt, but somehow it worked out.
So very impressive. The amount of skill and ingenuity you applied to this project is laudable! I'm giving you a standing ovation. Well done, sir!
Wow, the standing type of ovation is the best kind, I believe. Thanks!
Wow! That is pretty neat! A lot of work goes into that... Great job👍 I really love the stone you chose as well... Love that green💚 Cheers to a great makers challenge!
Happy Maker's Challenge week, Marlaina! This turned out pretty good, I think. I was happy with it anyhow.
@@MichiganRocks It really turned out great! The rolling at the end was oddly satisfying😄 I had played it on the big screen and funny thing...my cat thought so too! Lol😸 Looked like a bobble head... I was rolling🤣
@@MarlainaAtkins It is pretty fun to play with.
That was quite amazing! I can see how that can be confusing putting grinder to stone. You did an admirable job on that. I like those kind of puzzles.
I have been in a bit of a rut making the same sorts of things all the time. I needed a project like this that was completely different. This project challenged me but that's exactly what I needed.
Fantastic creation! This shape would be perfect to hold also, very tactile. And fun ❤️
Yes it is fun to hold too. Just a neat object.
I really love it, my brain exploded a little with all the work involved 🤣 but the end result was perfectly explained along the way.
I really appreciate your attention to detail ❤️
Got to give you a 👍🏻 for figuring that out. Now I’m headed for the aspirin to fix my headache.
It wasn't that hard to figure out once I got started. Picturing it without having it in had was much more difficult.
funny how such a simple shape can be so complex
And so entertaining!
This is way too cool 😎 Rob! This was a definite challenge.😳 Glad you were a math teacher for so long, someone else would have probably given up. Thank you for sharing this awesome project!!✌️🤠
I'm not sure that being a math teacher helped too much, but I think it's one of the reasons I found this shape so intriguing.
A Fantastic carving challenge. Made use of every machine Great to hear all the thought that went into it , a great video.
I did use a few machines, didn’t I? I could have gotten by with just a decent sized trim saw and my cabbing machine, but if I’ve got other stuff, why not use it?
You da man, or something equally cool. Outstanding job, Rob! “I think I can, I think I can” got you to an end result that worked wonderfully! Congrats! From my end you are a winner! Joy S. (Yeah, not Richard) from Northern Indiana
Thanks, Joy (not Richard)!
That was really cool and just a bit fiddley, buy you pushed through an it and made it. Thanks for sharing your finished stone with us. Great polish and it rolled! Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
It was a bit fiddly. I was never quite sure how the next step was going to work out, but I was happy that they all did.
Wow! I've seen them 3d printed, never thought I would see a rock ground into one. Nice job!!
I had never seen one at all. It's a fun object and was a fun project too.
Amazing work using the tools you had.
No simple feat but you did it. Marvelous
I managed to get through it. I'm ready for the next challenge!
Such a cool project. Kind of mind bending!
I like the striations left by the saw on the outside of the rectangular prism. Reminds me of lenticular stickers. Good thinking using the laser level!
If only there were 3D images on it.
Absolutely incredible! Totally fun & educational!!!
Glad you had fun with it.
That such an interesting shape and you did a great job with working the stone and the polish too!
Such a cool makers challenge video :)
Thanks, Kyle!
@@MichiganRocks You're welcome, Rob! 🤠
Awesome, that thing is pretty cool. Nice job!!
Thanks!
That is pretty awesome Rob great Job...
Thanks!
Cool idea for a project, thank you for sharing 😊💙
this was really technical in such a tricky simple way, like a test in drafting class! until you were done my brain kept getting twisted around trying to follow, but really cool brain stretcher, and the end result is as aesthetic as a slinky, or dominoes , just fun to watch ! seems like it would be very stress relieving to play with and focus on ! another awesome vid!
I wasn't at all sure what I was making along the way either. I think I worked on this on three separate days which gave me time to watch more videos and look at more pictures along the way. I really didn't understand how I was supposed to do that final grinding until I got started doing it. It did turn out better than I expected though.
That is the coolest ball I’ve ever seen, outstanding job
Not great for throwing, probably, but it rolls sort of like a ball.
Oh man thats amazing.....so difficult...congrats!!!!!
It was a challenge, but I never felt completely hopeless, just unsure of myself along the way.
That is so cool! Thanks for sharing!😊❤️
You're welcome, Julie!
That was some serious geometry. Killer project.😎
It was pleasantly geometric, wasn’t it? Fun, fun, fun.
That’s so cool! It was fun to watch it roll. You did a pretty good job working it out.
I was really happy with how it all worked out. I wasn’t at all sure I could pull this off when I started.
Well done! The laser idea was very clever. Hope you win!
This isn't a contest, just a fun thing for us all to do together.
How cool is that!! I think it’s fascinating!
That is cool. I have never seen anything like this. All of the makers challenge have been cool.
It is fun to see the huge variety of things that people come up with. I like that it's so open ended.
Oh my goodness Rob I want one!!! And double oh my goodness Rob holy heck! That was not an easy challenge at all but your brain absolutely conquered it!!!! That’s no easy feat man! I’m gonna make the paper version for kids at work but I absolutely (as always), take my hat off to your mastery mate. That is awesome!!!!!
Thanks, Jesse! I just finished watching you video and I'm equally impressed with what you made. I need to make one of those too. I'll get it all done and Nancy will tell me that it will look good in my shop.
Wow! Oloids are super cool! i didn't even know anything about oloids until i saw your awesome video! your oloid totally rocks!😍🥰😇👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I didn't know anything about them until Thomas suggested I make one. I agree that they're super cool.
@@MichiganRocks They are very fascinating! 😍🥰😇👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Trust a math teacher to do this project! :D It's so cool, Rob - good job!
Thanks, Kate!
Thomas is like it's a challenge? Cool difficulty set to 99 rock hounds🤣
He challenged me, alright.
Wow that is really cool.
Looks really tricky to make.
Pretty stone too.
It was a little tricky, but as I just did one step at a time, I was able to figure it out. Fun project!
I am so impressed! Beautiful stone and excellent idea. I hope you win. I've watched several videos and so far I think your project is the best.
This was just a fun thing that Theo Kellison put together. It's not a competition. I just enjoy seeing all the unique things that other people make.
Awesome job Rob
Rob,
Great Job, you are a master!
Cheers,
Rik
I'm not sure I'm a master of anything, but I get by.
I love this idea xx gr8 job Rob xx
I can take credit for the stone work, but Thomas @99 Rockhounding gets all the credit for the idea.
Where does the math end and the art begin? Where does the art end and the math begin? This old engineer says at the beginning. It is beautiful.
It is beautiful, isn't it? I really like this fun little object.
I just recently learned about those. I have one that’s 3d printed. What fun. I love that green.
One of the videos I watched to learn about these was from a guy who 3D prints a lot of stuff like this.
That was a REAL Maker's Challenge. Although you being a Math Teacher, probably made it a litter easier. Job Well Done. I will have to try the "paper version", think I can handle that one.
I never studied things like this and had never heard of an oloid. I have to admit that I probably liked this because it was so geometric.
Yeah, there ain't no such thing as a block plane for stone. Or a free lunch, but that's a different story. I love weird shapes, so glad you did this. Go for a mobius strip next!!
A Möbius strip out of stone would be awesome, but that’s beyond my abilities at this time. I just can’t imagine doing something like that without it cracking part way through.
@@MichiganRocks Good point. Jade would probably work without cracking, but I can't think of anything else that would stand a good chance.
@@Ken_G. Jade was exactly what crossed my mind too.
Thank you for sharing the entire process. It's very interesting and it's good to know that life is not always easy for you but you're just like everyone else. Lol. But of course when you get to the finished product your genius comes through. It is incredibly beautiful and amazing. Thank you again for another great video I always learn something new and different when we watch your videos.
Yeah, I'm no genius. I do have the ability to stick with things for awhile until I figure it out.
Great job Rob! Love this!!!! So cool!!!!!
Thanks, Gina!
That was such a fun project to watch!! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love the infusion of math, science, and art! The paper model was a nice touch, really illustrates and simplifies the concept. It is beautiful and a testament to your resourcefulness and skills! Plus it will entertain your grandson for hours. I truly enjoyed this video!
I really enjoyed making this one. It got me out of a rut of doing that same sorts of things. It's good to push myself to do something new and challenging once in awhile.
@@MichiganRocks how will you top it next year? This was so creative!
@@mjoyparks I don't want to think about that right now. I'm not at all creative.
@@MichiganRocks bringing out people’s creativity is my specialty, so I hate hearing that!
@@mjoyparks I try, I just don't always have a great imagination. I'll keep trying. In tonight's video I was looking for a way to do a transition from beach to my shop without it being really abrupt. I love the idea I came up with, but Nancy told me that I can't do it again. So now I'm trying to come up with other ideas for smooth transitions. So far I haven't come up with much though.
I am in awe. That’s amazing you made that out of rock
I'm kind of surprised myself!
@@MichiganRocks I bet
Awesome Rob, I wonder if the density of one portion of the stone isn't heavier than the other. The gradient shades of color sometimes indicate that it's a slightly different material.
I appreciate that it was a mathematician who created the original.
My intellectual side loves a challenge.
Watching this conversion was cool.
Density might have something to do with it, but it was pretty unpredictable. My guess is that I have the middle a little bigger than it should be, making it veer off in either direction.
@@MichiganRocks it definitely enjoyed watching you create this one. And I love the chance you take in creating.
That is fascinating!! Very well done - thank you for doing this!!
I had fun doing it, thanks for watching it!
Great video! Beautiful rock, sort of looks like jade.😁
It is green, isn't it?
Awesome video! So fascinating!!
Thanks!
Very cool!
I loved this! Very cool and you polished it up very nicely! Excellent video!
Thanks, Julee!
Way to keep those retired math teacher skills in use. When you started bending the cardboard, I was saying "Rob why wouldn't you use a laser?" Ahh, then it appeared.
Rob is a little slow sometimes. I got it eventually.
Very cool! I really liked your creation!
Thanks!
Very cool. Great job.
I would have made an ashtray or something.
Maybe a rock
Hey! An ashtray! Now I have an idea for next year. I just need to take up smoking before then.
Only math teacher would attempt a project like that!😁 Good job!
But most math teachers would not attempt it because they're not also rock lovers.
@@MichiganRocks You're probably right. Lol
* Thanks for showing us how you planned the Oloid & worked. ~ Slowly is Smart..
Slowly is how my brain works sometimes, so there weren't a lot of other options. I was really happy with how it all worked out in the end.
It kinda makes the tear drop cabochon shape from the side it’s like two cabs merged into one. Very visually interesting shape!
I agree, it does look like that. Fun shape.
wow that's quite a mind bender!
It had me scratching my head a few times.
WoW! How cool is this? You rock!
It is fairly cool.
Real science!!!!!! Bravo!!!! 👍🙏👍
Really cool idea! How satisfying it is in the hand and then rolling it! Yours actually rolled really well! And it looks so cool doing it! great project and great work on it!
It was a really cool idea, but I can't take any credit for that at all. I'm really glad Thomas suggested this because it was fun to make and is a really cool object.
How cool! I’ve never seen that, in any material. I struggled mightily picturing what you were doing much of the way through. I wish you would have showed the paper model early on in the video. That said, you did an excellent job. Looking forward to the rest of the entries in the project!
I don't know if I had seen the paper model until later in the project. I kept looking at more websites and videos along the way as I tried to figure out how to make this thing. When I found that model and realized how helpful it was, I decided that I needed to be part of the video.
Very cool! At first it seems like a shape impossible to achieve. Your intersecting paper circles really helped with the concept. I think that to accomplish what you did with your green rock required not only a logical approach but quite a bit of faith that the shape would in fact emerge. It's one of those mind benders that slip in and out of understanding! Thank you for stretching my brain cells with your very successful makers challenge! The stone took a fantastic polish. Really beautiful! Thanks, Rob!
I didn't have 100% confidence that I could pull this off, but somehow it all came together. I love it when a plan comes together.
Very cool! I've seen them before, there are many shapes, usually 3d printed. Rock models are rare!
I watched a video by a guy who 3D prints a lot of stuff like this. Fun stuff, but most of it would be extremely difficult to make from rock.
@@MichiganRocks Oh, yes, I fully agree with that. Until some company will find a way to sinter rocks... ;) They did that with metal... maybe glass filler and glass sintering for 3D printed quartz parts?
Very interesting, never of this before! It's actually really cool! Too much math and engineering for me!😂😂 As always you do an outstanding job and face the challenge head on! Thanks for sharing!
This was a new shape to me too. It was a really fun challenge.
you have great tools --- I love this video thank you
for sharing !
Awesome. Never heard of these but it's very cool. Now I want one lol. Great job
There are places that sell them made out of metal.
That's amazing. For a man of your skills and patience I would hardly use the word "challenge " unless you were given time constraints. It makes me wonder what the need was for with this theory. Anyways, you crushed it.
I sure felt challenged. It turned out as well as I hoped for, but there was definitely some head scratching along the way.
I had no idea this fascinating toy was named an "Oloid," I learn something new everyday!☺ I played with them as a kid in my dad's wood shop. Love this! Thanks for sharing "Rock Bottom" in Ohio.💯✔
Your dad made these? That’s really cool.
@@MichiganRocks yeah out of wood, so much easier to deal with than Stone because if he messed up he could turn it into a top or something else that was fun to play with. But I would love to make them out of stone like yours. Had he not passed away, he would be in his 80's now. With 6 kids they had to keep us entertained,🤣 he was my mentor into my artistic side ☺ "Rock Bottom"
@@margaretpeabody2584 Sounds like you had a great dad. My dad made me kites, and a couple other toys. Have you seen the propeller on a stick that you spin between your hands and it flies up in the air? The other thing that he made that was really cool was a stick with a series of notches along the top and a little propeller on end. You could rub another stick along the notches to make the propeller spin. Then, if you knew the trick, you could make the propeller change directions.
@@MichiganRocks Oh how cool, do yo make them? My favorites were tops, I still have dads tops. ☺ What a great generation our parents came from💗Sending Respect to your parents and good memories!💯✔
"Rock Bottom"
Good luck on your challenge.
🙃☕❤❤
I don't need a lot of luck now that it's done. Are you thinking it's a competition? This is just a fun thing for us to do, not a competition.
@@MichiganRocks it's a cool way to have fun with your beautiful rocks. 🙃☕❤❤
