Making a Mosaic Globe

have tried my hand at another world project. I wished to try out making a from a 20-sided item (icosahedron) of equilateral triangles. I laid out the map of the world onto those 20 triangles as a of scrap pieces of wood. I put resin in the gaps in between the pieces of wood that I had glued down to the map. Then I cut the map into the 20 triangles. Next, I cut the angles into the sides of those 20 triangles and glued those triangles into an icosahedron. I turned that item on the lathe into a and it became an impressionistic and recognizable .

  1. I’ve recommended Frank’s channel to more people than any other channel, regardless of if they are interested in woodworking.

  2. Watching the thought process is always fascinating. I love that you included the panic moment with all the bleeping. Would dying the wood an ocean blue and using ocean blues resin be something you would consider for the next globe?

  3. Yes, the 4 sided rectangles look kind of jarring as you transition from one triangle to another. You might have done triangular scraps or better yet, gong back to colored pencil segments.

  4. I wonder if it would be interesting to make a sphere with triangles, but in normal wood, and then cut it in half to make 2 bowls, and see what the inside looks like… Maybe there would be something cool about that!

  5. Kumiko-sphere next? Or even better, I would love to see your Earth-sphere getting some neighbours. Jupiter with the eye or Saturn with its rings.

  6. The woodworking is incredible. The video, shooting, editing, and story… you are on another level. Thank you for sharing!

  7. Perhaps 1/2″ or 3/4″ dowels for the oceans. Random pieces cut a tad smaller for land mass. Brilliant work. I can offer visual suggestions, but there is no way on God’s green earth I could conceive of, much less build, this project.

  8. Thanks for including the bit at 15:45. When masters like yourself have the same frustrations and do-overs like us amateurs, it helps give us the courage to keep trying 🙂

  9. Very cool. I really like how at some angles you can see light “inside” the sphere! Thanks again for sharing

  10. I’d like a whole “mini-video” on how you got that smooth rotating beauty shot at the end of the video. That was nice!

  11. If you wanted a blue effect for the ocean, maybe you could have stained the wood a bit before gluing it into the triangles?
    Also, you could incorporate the triangle seams into the final design by having the initial wood scraps all be triangular. It would probably be pretty wasteful though. But it would definitely help if it was all tessellated.

  12. I love all your videos! Such an amazing combination of great skill at woodworking AND video making. Potential suggestion if you do this again, and you may have already had this thought, instead of rectangular pieces of wood would triangular pieces hide the seams slightly better?

  13. Hey Frank. Another great project. I recall with the ornament project, you were a little upset with some of the joints getting off/having a slight gap. I noticed at 14:36 your jig gets pushed up on the blade which would change the angle being cut. That might be a place where some inconsistency was showing up.

  14. This turned out great Frank, much better than my first mosaic. I like that you used different woods for the land. I want to make a map of the world soon and though about using a dark wood for the land and light wood for the sea, but your way offers much more visual interest.

  15. I think it would be an improvement if you used round dowels instead of square scraps in order to reduce the disjointing effect of the triangle cuts.

  16. Maybe the use of small round dowels for the ocean part would have created a nice contrast too.
    Nice sphere btw.

  17. The glamour shot at the end makes me wonder about a light source INSIDE the globe! I bet it would look really interesting!!! Beautiful work as always Fank!

  18. Was there a school auction art piece this year? As you carried the map, over to the CNC it made me think it would make a great wall piece.

  19. When a brilliant execution of a great idea results in a meh project, it’s disheartening; but those craftsmen with few soft-fails never reach the highest levels of excellence in the workshop/design room.
