Wood Turned Bamboo Death Star
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
May the 4th be with you! I have wood turned a Death Star out of bamboo plywood. The build consists of making two segmented halves that seam together at the trench. Each half is made of 9 rings. Each ring has 13 segments. (13 seemed like an evil number). There is one extra ring to help the two halves overlap at the seam. The superlaser dish was turned separately. The hole in the Death Star and the profile of the dish were cut on the CNC router to allow to two to fit together.

It's not often you watch a woodworking video with a smile on your face. Thank you.

Don't get why anyone would give this a thumbs down. Very creative and fun Frank.

Your decision to use bamboo is very well thought out. The notches within the bamboo served to be like the panels and that was a great life decision on your part! Well done!
Possibily one of the best, DIY videos I've seen ever.
You've outdone yourself! I hope this video keeps growing! Truly amazing work.
Someone seeming like they enjoy doing woodwork in these videos is nice, naturally. Someone seeming as if they enjoyed making the video itself, as well, it's amazing! I love how much fun he has in the video making process. It adds so much. Great video, great project. Amazing.
Straight up incredible. The editing was impressive. Clearly you knew exactly what you wanted before you started shooting. That was the most riveting woodworking I've ever seen.
Wow! Awesome I love it!
Amazing on all levels, wow!
You are my new Hero I have been sitting here two days in a row watching your videos, I remodel houses and do custom wood work but you sir are a MASTER at what you do I wish I could come spend a couple of days with you and learn as much as possible! Thank you for posting these videos!
You're a very clever man. I don't know which is better, your workshop, the masterpieces coming out of it, or your video editing!!!
Unbelievable skills. Thank you for sharing.
I watched this video with my wife as we both love star wars, she wants to see you make a BB8.
It’s so cool how he can throw the pieces on the table and they just assemble themselves in the hose clamp, truly remarkable
the editing is on point... the fact that you used the same scene wipes as in the movies gives it the final touch! you sir are a legend!!
WOW that's incredible!!
Wow - enjoyed the great woodworking AND movie making... thanks!
Omg. The best carpentry related video I've ever watched. Along with the entertainment factor the amount of planning, designing and effort that must of gone into this project must of been out of this world. From one star wars fan to another, you are a true legend. Thank you for this pure work of art.
i like the way he did this video, with trying to make it more fun than just watching him work on a lathe for 10 minutes
man I would sooooo buy this
your work is best. your editing is great.
I always hated woodwork in school. but I have to admit this video and your wood turned eyeball has sparked some interest towards woodworking for me.
the way you used the wood pattern was AMAZING
i think i've just found the coolest video on the internet
Your editing is always amazing.
This is by far my favorite KZread video hands down!
Mr. Howarth you are an artist of the wood turning but also an entertainer. The angles of camera, the ultimate wood tech. I enjoy very much watching you work. Greetings from Argentinian Patagonia.
