Robin's wheel - 7 sheet modular origami 

Hello Richard, thank you for the question. The paper I used in the video was from a memo block and the squares had sides of 9cm. Any size of paper is fine for this model, I have even used the full width of wallpaper to make an extra large version. This was my first ever RU-vid video. In more recent videos, I provide commentary and make a point of mentioning the paper size. This is as a result of feedback such as yours, so thanks again.

I can see your point. I know that when I am teaching a model, some people struggle to understand reverse folds. You can see what I am doing, but it could be a bit clearer. I will try harder in future videos.

Another point, is that this early video was in my "silent movie" days. In all my recent videos, I talk about what I am doing. Hate the sound of my own voice though!

@@robinglynnorigami7274 Hello, Robin, thank you in advance. By the way, I´ve already made three wheels.

This was one of my first videos and I was still getting used to making tutorials. All my recent videos have spoken instructions. Maybe one day, I will re-make this video. Hope you managed to make it in the end.

I used sheets from a memo block. It has no brand, but I think I bought it in a UK shop called "The Works". Memo blocks are a good source of cheap single sided paper, but be warned, sometimes they are not perfect squares and you have to compensate when folding. The ones in the video are nice and square.

Any kind of paper should work. It may be that a couple of layers have locked together and the pop needs a bit of encouragement. What size and type of paper did you use?

@@mathwithmisha1928 Just made one with 3 inch paper and it worked fine. One thing I did notice is that it is possible to assemble with the layers not all connected the same way. This may well stop the model from popping into shape. Examine how I join the units and make sure that yours are done the same way.

That move is called an inside reverse fold. It can be confusing to people who are new to origami. Fortunately there is plenty of help out there, and a quick RU-vid search for "origami inside reverse fold" should get you sorted. Hope you try again.

And if you want to assemble the model 3:47 - 10:30

This was my first ever video, so I agree it is not very good. I want to help, but I am not sure what stage you are having trouble with. If you let me know what time in the video, I will see if I can help.One other suggestion - there are diagrams for this model on my website, which is shown on the closing credit.

Hi Robin, you can stop at critical points and simply show your model for a second. That just helps all of us getting on the same page.
