Making a Finger Tapping Machine

hey hey hey how's it going my friends and in this video we're gonna make a machine the tips a finger tapping machine [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] hello there have you ever kept your finger on the office table until one of your fingers snapped off clean from your hand well I sure know I had will feel not since I have a solution for you presenting the finger tapping machine it tips the finger so you don't have to it was a hell of a project it was really really fun it was quite difficult at times surprisingly not that difficult in the places I thought it would be I mean obviously the gears were quite difficult to make this the first time I made years I always wanted to make a machine like that with with moving parts and all and yeah and obviously the gifts took awhile to learn how to do that how to do it quite accurately but I've noticed it at the very end once you assemble everything they have quite an allowance they give you some like you can make a few errors here or there in accuracy and they just work they don't skip T's they don't get stacked that much I mean they don't get stuck at all to be honest yeah I don't know kind of worked out I think it's also due to me making a kind of a more ancient style of gears where they just triangular 60 degree teeth rather than those round modern type gears and so yeah that's that the most trouble I've had with this thing is the most insignificant part about it is they're actually the kind of beechwood cubes holding the whole mechanism to the base when I suppose a quite important but I've tried so many things to do it differently I I've made this kind of use this small mahogany tire would type in a kind of shape these two holes that can hold the mechanism simultaneously like on the why accident anyway they were typical I spend a whole day just doing these two little cubes with four holes in them and kind of well I wouldn't say an issue but like em I just found this wood online and it was quite cheap for this block I mean it's not mega cheap but it was like I don't know ten years which is like 12 dollars or so and and this it's called an it's an African Purdue it's Gopi Duke and it's it's it's super nice it's like the first time I open it it was amazing amazing piece of wood like the color it looks like it was it's radioactive or whatever or something like that and then I was I checked online before I got it a chicken aren't they on the database to see how how this wood isn't split out and it's resistant to dancers very high so this kind of scared me I felt like okay carving this thing would be a nightmare I won't be able I will just put it aside and where the waited to like do something else with it fortunately it was pretty nice it accepted carving pretty well actually and surprisingly very good problem is it's not the best wood for one month at least when you use hand tools it's not the best wood to kind of shape geometrically as you might say I found it even though it's very it's a very strong wood it's a very dense wood the layers of it like the grain all the rings of the wood I'll kind of loosely held together and so it splits even if I go with the grain like just the blade digs in and something that with the other words I never had a problem with and with this funny when it splits it splits all the way so that's the thing I'm not sure I'm gonna keep on working with this word since and this problem and there was I also had mind it loses its color over time so I also edited they say that shellack is quite a good protection so yes because I love Shallah um but still it loses a bit of wood the dust is not really nice it does stains everything orange can be prickly sometimes but can also be pretty bad mmm and yeah that's about the wood but I think next time if I will do a major carving project I will look to use something else even though I really want something Oh andryush so if you have any suggestions please let me know I probably will tend to use linden or base wooden in America so thank you for staying this long to see the video I hope you like me blabbering a little bit after video if you don't you don't have to watch this I suppose the night um but I think it's important to say what I have to I think it gives a little bit more insight on on the project and what I've learned these are not this is not really a tutorial or anything like that because it's more like just let you know what I've learned through all the product and what mistakes I've made and arrows and so you can you know have a bit of a easier time if you approach this hopefully I see you next time and
