Trying my hand at YouTube, still a lot to learn. Please imagine that I have an expressive internal experience.

Really nice. I also enjoyed the video too!

This is gonna cost me though. After seeing all of the nice parametric art from @greg.obj I’ve been on the verge of learning Grasshopper/Rhino. You have pushed me over the edge. It’ll probably take me years to learn, but I think I’m up for the challenge. Thanks again for sharing this.

Awesome video and work.

This is very inspiring. This combines several areas I’m interested in that I haven’t found the time to start yet: Rhino, Rhino + Grasshopper, 4th axis, and (for me at least) more advanced 4th axis milling.

Thanks!

The design and planning is next level.

The execution is next level.

The minutia in jigs, clamping, alignment - all next level.

The result is next level.

The video documenting the process is - _shocking_ - next level.

What else is there to say? I guess I’ll just go watch the video for the fourth time.
