1
00:01:57,300 --> 00:01:59,840
Okay, I've just run into a little problem.

2
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:02,000
Do you see this gap here, between these two parts?

3
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:04,860
That should not be there, these parts should be flush.

4
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,360
And, from an aesthetic point of view it's not a big issue.

5
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:14,660
But, I don't want the top wires to hit each other on the backstroke

6
00:02:14,660 --> 00:02:16,040
Because listen to this sound

7
00:02:18,140 --> 00:02:19,420
When they don't hit

8
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:24,020
I need to adjust the springsteel somehow

9
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,120
To remove this gap down here

10
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:36,680
So now with the larger holes, we have some possibility to adjust the position of the springsteel

11
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,120
The gap looks great now

12
00:02:40,140 --> 00:02:42,900
The springsteel is sliding under the screws here

13
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,620
After a while it slides loose

14
00:02:47,860 --> 00:02:50,800
So, after a while, this gap is returning

15
00:02:51,260 --> 00:02:52,680
We need another solution

16
00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:54,960
But wait, what is this!

17
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,920
Tim Keller & The Broken Endmills have just come out with an extra bonus track

18
00:02:59,500 --> 00:03:01,040
The hole punch jig!

19
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:02,980
Wow

20
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,300
And a lot of spring steel blanks

21
00:03:05,540 --> 00:03:12,100
Okay, let's listen to Tim Keller and The Broken Endmills performing 'The Hole Punch Jig'

22
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:45,980
[upbeat music]

23
00:03:47,820 --> 00:03:52,320
I mean, you can really hear like the sadness in the music

24
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,180
Coming from all that hard work with stainless steel

25
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,940
Already did two out of three today

26
00:03:58,940 --> 00:05:27,600
[upbeat ragtime music]

27
00:05:33,980 --> 00:08:20,100
[serene piano music]

28
00:08:21,220 --> 00:08:25,100
This is another hit machined by Tim Keller & The Broken Endmills

29
00:08:25,940 --> 00:08:30,040
And it's a PMMA pipe cover

30
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,120
So the PMMA pipe
goes in here and it's locked down with two set screws there

31
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:41,580
and as you can see, the fit is pretty tight, which makes it important that when I weld these on here

32
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,340
I don't want to make this inner diameter smaller in the fittings

33
00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:50,880
I'm gonna do my
absolute best to avoid welding distortion

34
00:08:51,060 --> 00:08:54,620
so I machine this pocket in
the plywood since these are protruding

35
00:08:54,620 --> 00:09:00,200
above the surface, so the plywood goes
down around the pipes like that

36
00:09:01,420 --> 00:09:02,580
that fit is spot on

37
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,060
so to avoid distortion I'm going to

38
00:09:05,070 --> 00:09:09,390
limit the amount of heat I allow getting
into this part so I'm gonna weld very

39
00:09:09,390 --> 00:09:13,880
hot and as short as I can and only at
the few spots.

40
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:28,500
So here you can see that the heat has not spread at all outside the weld,

41
00:09:28,740 --> 00:09:29,660
which is great.

42
00:09:29,820 --> 00:09:32,440
Here you can see I messed up somehow,

43
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,800
but overall this is much cleaner than I normally do.

44
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,880
Let's check the banana wobble.

45
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,240
Considering we're only
welding on one side, that could have been much worse than this,

46
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,200
and I can easily bend that
out.

47
00:09:50,500 --> 00:09:51,920
Just a little bit like that.

48
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,160
Let's check the id: the inner diameter.

49
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,460
Ah, that looks pretty good still.

50
00:10:01,460 --> 00:10:04,260
I do not have a 22 millimeter drill,

51
00:10:04,500 --> 00:10:07,860
so I taped some sanding
paper to a smaller drill.

52
00:10:08,500 --> 00:10:10,040
Let's see if this works...

53
00:10:16,180 --> 00:10:17,800
There we go.

54
00:10:19,380 --> 00:10:21,611
I've been spending quite a lot of time off-camera

55
00:10:21,611 --> 00:10:24,480
to make the decision, where this part is gonna go on the machine.

56
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,040
And initially it was supposed to be supported on the sides here,

57
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,920
but now I know where it goes and now I know

58
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,280
I can make a bracket that comes from the
top like this.

59
00:10:36,260 --> 00:10:38,040
So I'm actually going to

60
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,560
decrease the length of this part just to
save some visual space.

61
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:45,700
So I'm scribing a 10 millimeter line here,

62
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,820
I'm gonna do a
savage cut.

63
00:11:23,660 --> 00:11:25,600
Thank you my friends!

64
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,080
Cheer up, will ya!

65
00:11:40,460 --> 00:11:42,100
Haha!

66
00:11:43,340 --> 00:11:45,060
Yeah!

67
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,140
Yes!

68
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,980
So I'm gonna test a couple of
notes and see how they're hitting.

69
00:12:00,340 --> 00:12:01,980
yeah, we're on the low side;

70
00:12:01,980 --> 00:12:05,612
we're hitting all the way up here, on the lip

71
00:12:05,620 --> 00:12:08,100
and no note is close to this.

72
00:12:08,700 --> 00:12:11,500
I got the lip up higher by bending the pipe.

73
00:12:36,260 --> 00:12:41,280
So center-to-center of these vibraphone
plates is 55 millimeters,

74
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,140
which means that the funnels only have 55 millimeter of space

75
00:12:45,140 --> 00:12:48,000
and we designed them to be smaller than 55

76
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:54,360
so this one is right now 53 at the top and 53

77
00:12:55,380 --> 00:12:56,900
but that's a little bit too wide

78
00:12:56,900 --> 00:12:59,900
I figured out a way to make
them smaller

79
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,420
48 millimeter on this funnel,

80
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,340
and 49, which creates a little more air between the funnels.

81
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,260
This is a mistake I make in CAD all the time.

82
00:13:10,260 --> 00:13:13,800
two millimeters feels like plenty of space in CAD

83
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:18,140
in real life two millimeters is that much space.

84
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:20,160
So, 53...

85
00:13:21,940 --> 00:13:24,160
52... 54...

86
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,280
So, if we can get this down to 50, I'm pretty happy.

87
00:13:28,060 --> 00:13:29,840
And I figured out the savage way;

88
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,300
I'm just taking my clamp

89
00:13:33,220 --> 00:13:36,020
I'm just pushing the wire together,

90
00:13:38,100 --> 00:13:40,740
and
then I'm just bending these tops out,

91
00:13:40,740 --> 00:13:44,820
flaring them out a little bit to make
the top rail straight.

92
00:13:44,820 --> 00:13:47,260
Already that looks great.

93
00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:49,880
Check where we are. 
Oh, 46

94
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,920
47. I went ambitious in front of the camera

95
00:13:59,700 --> 00:14:03,080
So you can see that the right side lines up perfectly,
but it doesn't line up here.

96
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,700
But I like how the back
looks. I'm going to bend this rail out a lttle bit

97
00:14:09,020 --> 00:14:10,080
47

98
00:14:10,220 --> 00:14:11,600
48

99
00:14:11,740 --> 00:14:13,060
47

100
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,060
47

101
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:19,580
And the design of the funnel looks intact.

102
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,740
So I'm lining it up with a set screw, clamping a funnel to the PMMA pipe

103
00:14:26,740 --> 00:14:28,940
and look at that

104
00:14:29,060 --> 00:14:31,900
five millimeter clearance that's all we need

105
00:14:49,400 --> 00:15:09,900
[upbeat music]

106
00:15:10,340 --> 00:15:14,240
I have the feeling that I've wasted my
time on this one.

107
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,740
I had several designs that I wanted to do

108
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,820
and I chose this one.

109
00:15:24,260 --> 00:15:26,500
And I think I want to do another design.

110
00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:32,489
So the other design was 11 individual small
tracks hanging in the air more... more

111
00:15:32,489 --> 00:15:35,620
visually... interesting I think,

112
00:15:35,620 --> 00:15:38,620
but anyway I'm gonna make this thing a little more pliable

113
00:15:39,700 --> 00:15:42,400
by just take a face cut on the backside.

114
00:15:43,940 --> 00:15:46,500
I'm just gonna remove as much material as I can

115
00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:52,100
so I can turn this corner into a spiraling angle.

116
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,340
so now I can create this twist

117
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,900
that I need to have a slope down here

118
00:16:00,140 --> 00:16:01,800
I still don't like this solution.

119
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,660
let's put it on the machine

120
00:16:04,500 --> 00:16:06,540
I hate how this looks

121
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,780
I wanted it to be like a little bit
childish in the front of the machine

122
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,180
But this is not going to stay long I can
tell you

123
00:16:15,660 --> 00:16:17,660
No resonators now

124
00:16:23,980 --> 00:16:25,240
hahaha

125
00:16:26,420 --> 00:16:27,560
Brilliant

126
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,800
I wanted to show the melody here with
the marbles coming out

127
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,640
and on the back of the machine
I'm doing the same with the drums

128
00:16:39,140 --> 00:16:42,380
but I'm happy that this is not working because

129
00:16:43,060 --> 00:16:46,140
then I know I have to make something more beautiful.

130
00:16:59,540 --> 00:17:02,020
it's hard to catch them on camera,

131
00:17:02,020 --> 00:17:04,540
but the vibraphone is at a 7 degree angle,

132
00:17:04,559 --> 00:17:08,120
and this line down here, where the funnel base is

133
00:17:08,120 --> 00:17:13,660
are picking up this 7 degree tilt that is picked up here, here, here and here

134
00:17:13,780 --> 00:17:15,900
I love that design aspect.

135
00:17:15,900 --> 00:17:20,040
Let's see if the funnels are flaring out the way I want them to

136
00:17:21,220 --> 00:17:23,720
You can see the melody played in the funnels

[VIBRAPHONE BEATING]

139
00:17:37,580 --> 00:17:40,680
there are some occasions when the
marbles get some kind of super hit

140
00:17:40,780 --> 00:17:43,720
and goes like twice as high as normal

141
00:17:47,340 --> 00:17:48,180

there

143
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,520
Okay my friends, time for some closing thoughts.

144
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:08,700
this was meant to be a victorious moment where I felt that we crossed the finish line on this huge monster project,

145
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:13,280
but there are two reasons that make me feel a little bit
deflated at this moment.

146
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:17,820
it was kind of ominous that my main inspiration for the
marble machines came from a video called

147
00:18:17,830 --> 00:18:19,980
"pipe dreams" by Animusic

148
00:18:19,980 --> 00:18:23,080
and if we look for the definition of 'pipe dream' it says

149
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:27,020
"an unattainable or fanciful hope or
scheme".

150
00:18:27,660 --> 00:18:29,860
Similar is: fantasy, illusion,

151
00:18:29,860 --> 00:18:36,820
delusion, daydream, reverie, mirage - that's my favorite, chimera and pie in the sky.

152
00:18:36,820 --> 00:18:40,980
There are two aspects about these
funnels that makes me feel deflated

153
00:18:40,980 --> 00:18:44,440
number one is that they make a lot of sound.

154
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,580
A lot of people in the team asked me about this and I said

155
00:18:46,940 --> 00:18:50,400
Ah, it's not gonna be a problem because I love the design so much

156
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,060
I think we can fix it but I'm tired of fixing things in the aftermath

157
00:18:55,220 --> 00:18:59,780
I learned enough about designing that you should fix things in the design.

158
00:18:59,940 --> 00:19:02,080
The second thing that makes me deflated

159
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,440
is that there are some marbles that make some kind of super jump of the vibraphone

160
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,280
and bounces like ten centimeter higher

161
00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:13,880
and if I would have only the sound issue with these funnels I would have felt better,

162
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,140
but the fact that some marbles are escaping the funnels altogether,

163
00:19:17,300 --> 00:19:19,780
it doesn't feel like two step forward and one step back.

164
00:19:19,780 --> 00:19:21,380
It feels like the opposite

165
00:19:21,380 --> 00:19:25,460
I want to thank you for the beautiful reactions on last week's video about focus

166
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,750
I have been working really efficiently this week,

167
00:19:28,750 --> 00:19:31,940
but I have been falling down into old
patterns sometimes.

168
00:19:31,940 --> 00:19:36,000
I've been watching Sandy Munro tearing the model Y apart.

169
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,840
It is very very educating and interesting

170
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:43,080
to see him comment
on the design and manufacturing of a whole car.

171
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,850
I can't even start to think
about what Sandy Munro would have said

172
00:19:46,850 --> 00:19:49,753
about the design of the marble funnels.

173
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,960
He would have... He would have not liked them

174
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:58,140
from several fundamental
engineering principles, I can tell you that.

175
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,000
I guess it's inevitable when you
work so long on a project that you learn

176
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,520
so much, that you become critical to your
earlier ideas.

177
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,360
I will make these funnels work.

178
00:20:08,420 --> 00:20:13,600
But the main feeling I have today
is that I'm tired of cleaning up after my own mess.

179
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,100
But now something that makes
me pumped:

180
00:20:16,100 --> 00:20:19,520
We have started a Spanish Wintergatan YouTube channel

181
00:20:19,700 --> 00:20:22,610
It's called
Wintergatan ESP and it's Carlos Montoro,

182
00:20:22,610 --> 00:20:24,280
the guitar luthier from Madrid,

183
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:29,180
who makes my voice - but in Spanish - he's an amazing Spanish Martin.

184
00:20:29,380 --> 00:20:33,420
So tell all your spanish-speaking friends to check out Wintergatan ESP..

185
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:38,300
So far we have one subscriber and six views and it's kind of fun to start from scratch

186
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,500
and we reached 8,000 supporters through YouTube

187
00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:45,100
memberships and patreon that is just
insane

188
00:20:45,100 --> 00:20:50,260
I want to thank every single one of you personally for your continuous support

189
00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:52,720
and thank you everyone who is watching this series.

190
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,680
Thanks for sticking with me come rain come shine

191
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,620
see you next week on Wintergatan Wednesdays
