As an Etch-A-Sketch artist I hold Mr Cassagens in high regard. Thank you Mr Hoefer for your recognition of his invention. I think more people should try to learn the skill of drawing on an E.A.S.. It is a great way to develop motor skills.
Original patent for The Etch-A-Sketch is US3055113A for those interested, 1959! Great work on the video, good explanations.
This was GREAT! Please keep them coming!
DO MORE OF THESE! Very nicely done!
Brilliant brilliant video, enjoyed it completely!
What an awesome video. Great job!
Awesome, awesome, awesome video. Please do more.
Amazing job! I really liked this video.
Very well thought out video!
Good job make! I really like this new series.
I am trying to replicate it for another function. Unfortunately, I can't see everything clearly in the video. Is there a video where it is more visible and goes slower?
Almost sounds like a documentary.Am looking forward for more!
Wonderful video! Give this guy a TV show please!
Great video! Great narration too!
Really like it, feels like the Discovery series How its made but even more educational!
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing :)
continue this series!!
Nice work!
dude ur channel is the best!
Interesting series. I am looking forward what other inventions may show up along the way :) Like the Concept ^^
This is like if NPR hosted How It's Made. I love both, so this is now my new favorite thing ever.
I like this video. Nice work.
with Jimmy, Deek, and this guy, your'e doing it right again make.
Great videos.
best video in a while.
You can not make Aluminum powder as is, since aluminum is very reactive, the moment you shave those powder they will also oxidize immediately and become alumina (or the way you say: aluminum rust (which is not exactly correct since rust is a word used specifically for iron/steel)) or have a thin layer of alumina covering all the outer surface depending on the size of the powder of course. it should also be noted that it is good that the powder can not stay as aluminum dust due to the same very reactive nature as if the toy had aluminum powder the moment you drop and it leaks oxygen inside it will become a bomb with fine powder inside which is the maximum surface area for the least material. Great video, just wanted to share these additional information :)
would a thin film of perspex/plexi on the inside of the glass help with the powder by providing some static cling? I'm also curious about the toner idea mentioned below. thanks for sharing.
Really good but i'm doing this project to build an etch a sketch for school and i need to make one. I get everything about it but making the wire system is hard because you do it so quickly in video. please help!!!!
Best video ever thanks I have more ideas for this project
Great effort! Hopefully you can eventually find a way to get more metal powder to stick to the glass.
Is there a way to make the glass have a small static charge that will keep the powder on the glass. Just an idea I had.
More please!
Have u tried the bronze or silver powder called pulver made to coat FIMO Plastic Clay? So fine it coats clay to look like metal,it just might work ...
thanks awesome video! i love my etcha sketch, take it with me everywhere !
inventions and DiResta are my two favorite sections of make
got a strong retro vibe watching this-i recall my father had to epoxy the knobs back on after it got broken =)
Cool!!
Perhaps my favorite childhood toy. I've been a graphic artist since grade school. I'm now a CG modeler and animator. Any Lightwave artists out there?
Such a relaxing voice..
Very cool
I recomend to use tones from a printer, i did it and it works great
Cool men, continue com mas videos porfavor
I have this toy awesome video
I loved this video, but at 4:40 I couldn't help but think: "And now, the moment of truth..." *shakes etch violently above face only to discover holes large enough for metallic powder to escape* "AHHHHH, IT BURNS"
Try baby powder in the mix.
More info please! size pulleys, type wire on pulleys (I know you said in the video but I can't quite understand what you said even after replaying it a hundred times), measurements for placement of pulleys, cable wiring diagram, etc etc etc. I've looked everywhere I can to find out more specifics and everything just points back to this video. While we appreciate you making and posting the video it actually creates more questions than answers for those of us wanting to make one as you did. PLEASE help!.
Cool very good jobs
nice video
voice is so relaxing
Could you quite possibly make a slinky? Pretty please?
Why couldn't you open up a etch a scetch and use that powder? Or look it up on the internet what powder they use
" Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent."
that lego truck is good.
I think you just needed more powder, and you spoke about glass beads inside?
And after fifty years, no one has yet figured out a way to retract the point from the glass.
Nice
Cool
Maybe I'm wrong but I think the Etch a Sketch uses some sort of iron powder mix, and a magnet attached to the point or stylus. The screen is somehow made of hexagonal cells. Anyways great video.

+rhythmandacoustics I was thinking something along those lines too. Can I ask where you found that out?

Nah its got aluminum powder mixed with polystyrene balls and is pretty much this design
that is very cool. could you teach me how to build one in real life. just joking but that was pretty cool how you knew all those facts about him. he also built the first ever trick kite.( I think.)
As I kid I always wondered how that thing worked, but I never dared to open it (unlike the rest of anything lol).
next episode: MAKE: Inventions "Rubik's Cube"
cool
I found the material completely fascinating, which is at odds with the inhuman presentation by the host.
Ohio Art sold the Etch-A-Sketch brand to Spin Master
Like the video but i can barely hear anything
great idea! that stuff is like napalm hahaa
The only aspect that resembles the etch a sketch is the pulley system... But this isn't how to make an etch a sketch, it's more like how to make a dust drawing machine
Why?
according to breaking bad, the etch a sketch has thermite, that mr. White and Jesse use to crack open the methylamine factory

it doesn't have thermite. it has aluminum power, which is a ingredient in thermite

thanks for the correction
I guess to make it so the stylus would lift up and not draw would cost to much or something.
make about how to make rubik's cube
Break open a couple real etch-a-sketch and take the powder from them.
Motorize it and add a pen and you have a plotter!!!! Add a 3rd axis and a plastic extruder and you have a 3d printer!!!!
classic aluminum powder fail! we've all been there....am I right???
His name is pronounced like “Champagne.”
No metal powder stuck to anyrhing. You used it as dust, and then drew in it using a piece of plastic to make empty space... Wtf
Ok
or he can just buy one
haha
This is my sweet memory👌👌😁😁😁😁
omg custom rubiks cubes i came
Toy Story And Toy Story 2.
Whisper, whisper, whisper...
That's not really the point.
Omg speak up
That guy has no sympathy; he's like a robot with very little robot accent.
Don't you dare post first. not on my watch
