WOOD KNOT BALL - KNOT ART (Directors cut) 

Beautiful. From a forester of 50+ years, sometimes whittler, you’ve captured some of the beauty and intricacy I see in nature.

Beautiful work...love your clean shop. You must enjoy keeping everything in it's place. I could watch you work all day.

Your fancy art lady thought Jackson Pollock was messy and Michelangelo was dated. Knot art is priceless.

There's a certain God-like creativity in this project. We should all be pleased by the creation of beauty, but this is an example of pure creativity in that the creator takes something ordinarily discarded by the common craftsman and makes them into something wondrous to behold. Inspired work. Thanks!

This is truly epic, can't believe this doesn't have millions of views!

This is the most moving and perfect building of an artwork I ever saw. Thank you for your work and for wanting to share it with us.

One like is knot enough. Absolutely stunning. My jaw was on the floor the whole video. Thank you for sharing.

One of most beautiful woodwork i've ever see...

Glorious!! 😍 They're "knot" flaws, they're features!

Oh, I love knots! I always have appreciated their appearance in panels and furniture... Dang! If I had what you just created, I would probably want to hold it for a while and then try to give it a proper display area for my home where my trusted people could appreciate it!

This is one of the most original and creative projects I’ve seen on RU-vid.

That ball turned out amazing! I'm glad I stayed subscribed for all these years. Looking forward to more big wooden balls...

I love the dual chop saw setup!

I Absolutely love your work!!!! John Bies, Old Soldiers Workshop, Huntsville Alabama

Looks like eyes looking at you I love it

Very cool idea and some knot bad acting as well. Loved it!

Knot too shabby.

Friggin' Awesome

Well worth the wait! You are extremely talented and fun to watch. I bet that would be cool with some lights in it!

That's what I said too..."That's 'KNOT' art!" Lol!😂😂 My goodness, fantastic, absolutely fantastic! I'm subbing as of right now! Man, this would look fabulous as a light in the living, dining, or den! Thank you so much for sharing this! 👏👏👏 Pam 😄 Ps, loved th domino effect! Gosh, this whole vid was excellent!!😄😎

Just discovered your channel, I love your art and your humor ! Greetings from France.

i mean... most people turn their wood into paper before doing modular origami with it, but whatever... XD .... was super happy when you kept it geodesic this time :D

ingenious! I'll never throw a knot away again! Very, very nice!

reminder on ✅

I love that ball. I don't know why, but a like a LOT more the poly than the rounded ones.

You are funny! Great work!

Wow, my brain doesn't even understand how you worked all those angles out! #geometricjealousy haha. Awesome work mate. Mad respect from New Zealand!

Of all the balls you’ve built, this is my favorite. Absolutely ingenious! I bet your glad you saved knots all them years! 👍 Do you have any plans for making another “Knot Art” Ball? Maybe a mini?

You've got something very good going here by the looks of it. I will be anxious to view the video. Bet you had some scrap wood left on this project in all the singling out of the individual knots. Great job though....can't wait to see.

Wow! I am really knot impressed with your knot art!

The Buckminster Fuller of Woodworking!!! Nice! Subbed...

Amazing!

8:34 ... ha, so good :) awesome work bro

It would be a fun chandelier to create a romantic atmosphere 😃

Im amazed at the accuracy of the drop saws. Just a fraction out over so many cuts surely would have left gaps somewhere!?

I absolutely LOVE this!💜

There is something wrong with you . You are KNOT right. But you are definitely a very talented artist and I take my hat off to you my friend. Beautiful work.

Eres el mejor Keith

Hey pal, I hate to break this to you, but that's knot art! That's great! Love it! You made my day. Thanks.! Vaughn

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Excellent! Great surprise ending. Aloha from Hawaii, Thomas

Brilliant work!

Fascinating. Turned out gorgeous.

Amazing. You really did a fine job.

Great work and funny ending.

Keith, your accuracy is so perfect! I noticed that the table saw sled has no stop block. How can you maintain such bevel accuracy on that first triangle cut? Are you able to maintain that accuracy on all 180 triangles by line of sight only?

So cool!

Beautiful!

While preparing oak beams for a irish cottage ceiling, I filled all these knots and their holes with VERY rough chippings from the planing process. Its difficult to push them in with glue, especially when they are pointing into all directions (and they should!) because they want to expand again. you need to have a few mm on top since the glue contracts and you need a hump for planing again. So push and push it again and then fasten the clamps Once planed , the fibres pointing into all directions look very nice. but the waste of planing you push in should be at least 3mm wide and 5mm long to give it the character of timber from the roots and to look "natural". If well done, these parts are actually the highlight of those beams and give them character.

That's beautiful

Not just awesome.......its ultra mega awesome

Abstract art. Enjoyed the video 😎✌

You didn't have to add in the domino cascade but thank you for adding it into your wonderful video.

i wood love to put a light inside of if and have it in the corner of my living room

That art critic was definitely KNOT having any of it.....

Like hell its knot!!! I want one for my living room! Knocks hell out of the Dali over the piano now...

Мужик просто сумасшедший )))) такие заморочки

3:43 the eye of providence is everywhere

Great work

Love you work man, subscribed.

This is awesome

How long does it take to build one that size? More videos please! EPIC!

Impressive

Thank you 🙏🏼

Wonderfull!

Now what will he do with all of the tiny bits from the edges of the knots? Probably wonderful.

You math real good!

Nice pun

Lol, I love the punch line

Very cool piece of "knot art"! I was wondering what the tape dispenser thing you are using is. Tha seems very handy.

What the Mitter angles and bevel angles when u cut the triangle?

Really GOOD JOB MAN! WOOOW!!! Congratulation from Italy...

I want to see more. Get some colors. Make some lamps. Experiment with resin and fire and all kinds of stuff.

Really cool impressed Im going to attempt to make 1 myself what are the degrees and angles for the triangles

so it looks as though you rejected half of the knotty pieces. I'd be interested to see how this turned out had you rounded it on the lathe. Maybe a smaller piece is in the future?

So...I have to ask: How did you figure out the degree of the bevels? Was it trial by error or was there a "paper and pencil" way for you to figure it out? BTW....really great work. Maybe one w/ thinner pc's and put a light inside that might glow a bit?

subbed, made me laugh

LOVE IT

It looks nice, but why didn't you make it into a sphere?

I am very interested in you process, I am a just a tinker at woodworking. Once you find the angle cut is it the same for any size?

Very nice work. Love the whole concept and you work flow is awesome from the double chop saw set up all the way down to your tape dispenser machine thingy. What is the angle of the back bevel you put on triangles to get them so precise?

Very clever sir!!and looks amazing,if you make any money you can put it towards a new shop.well done you got my sub.

fantastic work , what size are the pieces and at what angle are they cut at have to try this

I think I'll buy this ball. I mean, free camera inside, right?

Belo trabalho. Não suma, vc faz falta.

Awesome What is the length of the side of the two different triangles?

3:38 *Illuminati has joined chat*

The acting between you and the “snooty art lady” had a certain cheesy porn feel to it. Hilarious.

''19" Geodesic sphere'' .. Is that the angle of the bevel on each of the triangles? I've been trying to figure it out..... (Great work & vids btw)

Dear Sir, Can you tell me the angle at which you cut off the edges of all those 180 triangles?

keith do you have a video on making a soccer ball with hexagons and pentagons/?? thanks

I'm wondering what that weighs. It would be a great decorative light.

Hola. Me podrías decir los ángulos de corte que utilizas? Gracias

Brother, what are the miter angles?? I want to try to make one.

Is this the same geometric pattern as a soccer ball?

How did you EVER get the angles perfect enough for all that to fit together??

3:38 Illuminati confirmed!

The real question is, how many triangle sides it got. Can I call it a D200 dice 😝(bet there's even more)

what was the line on the template and triangle for? mark the grain?

How long did this take you?
