Amazing stuff Keith. I've watched all of your videos, read all of the comments, including the foreign language ones, and I am VERY IMPRESSED! Can't wait for the next chapter. BTW, I wouldn't give away the angles either. Not when you sell this Fine Art on your website at oddballgallery.com.

Another great job Keith, thanks for putting this on KZread!

Oh my goodness! This is fantastic! 👏👏 thank you for sharing! Pam 😄

The most beautiful work I have seen on youtube in a long time! Thank you very much!!!

I love the level of precision! Nice chop saw set up and lathe set up, very clever! Great end result!

Fascinating and fantastic results! Thanks for sharing.

That looks amazing love the pattern on the plywood its great. Love the tool for rounding it off on lathe. Cheers Tim from Wood 4 Nothing

I was impressed with both projects. And the math to figure out all the cuts and angles.

Great video I just love the effect of the playwood layers. I often look for the plywood made with darck colored glue or colored glue which really make the patterns pop.

I also clapped my hands at the end of the video. You're a very creative person. Good job!!

Thats amazing how that pattern pops out like that!

Love it. Looks like a lot of work. I am glad you have the math down right.

This is really cool! The pattern looks so awesome

Stunning, I love the detail the plywood makes. Two mitre saws, set up for the required mitres. I am so jealous. Thanks for sharing

How does this not have millions of views? Amazing.

Mr Williams - as bad as this sounds I love your balls! Seriously, what you create is beyond amazing. Thanks for sharing your skill with us!

Great job. Totally enjoyed it!

Love it! Ingenious!!! Thank you!

Nicdly done. I gave up my electric lathe about 14 years ago to use a spring pole lathe. I might consider having an electric again to do this sort of thing. Nah, I'll just get my grandson on to this. I really like the 5 gallon dust collector fitting.

Love it Keith!

lol I like the applause track at the end! Really neat looking project man, well done.

So cool and satisfying. If I could only make one out of my corian scraps.

Amazing, you standard of work is something to aspire to.

Hi Again Keith and thanks for the info on the plywood that's best used. After a week of pulling my hair out and getting no where on trying to figure these mitered angles I ran into another fellow turner that experienced the same. Had to share his comment he made to me since I no longer feel in the boat alone. His quote, " There are a few gaps here and there. Making one of these is tricky because you can't just check that things are square. Until final assembly, you can't be sure that it will all fit at all. The whole thing really is miter joints from hell". I keep hoping as you stated months ago that one day we may see a more detailed description on making this. Just trying to make one to say I did it. I certainly commend you on the time I know you put into this. These truly are "Miters from Hell"......ha

Math and wood projects ? One video and I subbed immediately ! Great job !

4:50 that's an amazing dust collection set up lol

Incredible work. Subbed! !! Some collaborations with other 'Tubers would be outstanding. Different laminate materials would be interesting: micarta, resins, polymer clay, metal. Shou Sugi ban would be a great finish as well. FIRE !!!!

That's really cool !!

Must be a royal pain to get the angles on all those cuts perfect to join together properly. Congratulations to your attention to detail.

Very cool. I make origami dodecahedrons every Christmas for the tree-- never thought of using plywood instead of paper, but I might have to try this. If you're feeling insane, you could go for the 390 unit model. 12 pieces with five, and the rest are blocks of six. It would be about twice the height of the bigger one you made, so there won't be anywhere to store it afterwards. ...unless you have a spare bedroom with double doors you never use. Great vid.

But I also get to put his work, his brain and his skills in the 'damn good work' category. I just watched his 'small ball' video once again. It still brings smiles and admiration.

Very cool, I like it. One thing I did notice is when you tilt the table saw and set up to rip those strips you should be tilting the blade AWAY from the fence instead of toward it to prevent wood binding and a possible kickback. Put the fence on the other side of the blade for safety!

@John Sadler Correct, that's why you have to move the fence to the other side of the blade. I taught shop class for several years and just trying to show how to accomplish this as safely as possible.

Hi Keith, love the work you do. Noticed in your video that the plywood your using has 13 layers of veneer. Is this Marine Plywood or a type of Birch plywood. Hard to find plywood with this many layers, but I realize it's the layers that give that great look once it's sanded. I'm assuming this is not the run of the mill Home Depot stuff.

R Roe Thanks 👍🏼. It’s called Baltic birch or Russian birch. I use 3/4” B/B grade. I get it from my plywood distributor, but you can special order it at Menard’s here in the Midwest. About $75 for a 4x8 sheet. Most birch ply is only birch on the face veneers. Baltic is birch all the way through.
