We spent 1200 hours carving a shark and engineered it to swim. Spoiler Alert: It worked! I teamed up with Travis from Locomotion Creations and we made something truly one of a kind. I just love how it turned out and the kinetic flowing movement it has. #carving #shark #Kinetic

I know on your video you said it was noncommissioned. The Legasea Aquarium is being built currently by the creator Brian Barcyk in Utica Michigan. Might give them a call as they are building a HUGE shark tank.

@cpl_0503 2 месяца назад

I just don't have the right words for BOTH of you guys' talent. 1200 hours seems like nothing compared to what I would have guessed. The engineering on the mechanism is only matched by the talent on the carving and design. I loved the collaboration! Thanks for letting us in.

You should definitely do more ocean themed projects. Seeing something from the water come to life out of something from the land is poetically and visually perfect. Top tier stuff

This was such a fun project to work on. I really enjoyed collaborating with Blake and working together to bring this thing to life. We coordinated our separate efforts and then were able to unite and work together to see the pursuit in motion. More than anything, I love it when a plan comes together. I can’t thank Blake enough for asking me to join the project and for the wonderful hospitality that the McFarland family provided me for a week. This was a dream collaboration and I can’t wait to see if there is something else we could make in the future… What else could we make?

@bradleygillespie4541 2 месяца назад

A wolf chasing a deer, or grizzly chasing a baby elk since he likes doing bears maybe. It would be much harder though cause you would have to engineer a way for the legs to love along with the body. But I got faith in ya you've done harder stuff before

@wreckenbach9703 2 месяца назад

Amazing work. This collab brought me so much fascination and mirth. I was thinking of an Otter family playing with a fish in seaweed. Momma teaching the pups how to fish. Seaweed waving with currents. Maybe a little bioluminescence in seaweed. Jelly fish floating in the water. Or... The "alien" popping out of Bishops belly.

@Apmannen 2 месяца назад

An interesting sculpture you could make is to make a coral reef with fish and stuff, then pour epoxy over it, then carv out the epoxy to the shape of a fish, whale, shark, jellyfish, octopus or something, so that it looks like an animal with a coral reef inside.

@zeeprather4120 2 месяца назад

The shark was awesome to watch you give shape to, and then the motion made it come alive. The seal, though, brought me so much joy. I feel like the seal is a smug little fellow, darting and staying just ahead of the shark, playing. Meanwhile, the shark is all patience, stealth and silent strength and subtlety, biding its time with the hope that persistence will see the seal slip up.

@C-unknown 2 месяца назад

Learnt something new in this episode. If you want to find out a tree specie then what you do is 1. Sniff it 2. Observe it, then 3. Give it a taste - These three steps will give you the correct specie as well as the year it first began it’s life. Who knew aye 😂😂

@BMSculptures 2 месяца назад

the more you know..... 😂

@JohnDlugosz 2 месяца назад

I think smell/taste can give you the species, and then knowing that, the size of the root base or the diameter of a log can give you a rough idea of the age.

I've got artists in my family. My maternal grandmother did oils on canvas and my aunt on my dad's side worked mostly with acrylics. I've always tended to like sculpture. I just think there's "more" to it than a flat painting could ever be. But you've raised it to a whole new level. practically bringing the sculpture to life. If I had the money I'd build a room with this as the centerpiece.

This is the most sophisticated combination of "children at heart" and "boys and their toys" that I've ever seen 😂❤🦈

Many years ago I created a giant redwood puzzle I called Quest. it was officially recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the World's largest mechanical puzzle. To the point... I created a mountain of wood chips and saw dust doing it and was approached by the owner of a dog kennel. He wanted it for bedding for his dogs. Maybe thats an option for your waste material?

Every time you mention how blown away you are by the mechanics and engineering, I can't help but imagine how many minute calculations you did in your own mind to carve angles, facets, and curves and then the experience and artistry required to smooth and sand that much wood to have it looking so amazing. In appreciating someone else's expertise you realise how long it must take to get to the point of mastery.
