I’ve finally got part 2 of my video finished…. With lots of voice over torment…. Hope I don’t sound too mournful this time….
Maybe one of those silent videos with music and text over would be a lot easier next time.
Just started using lumafusion app for editing so text overs would be a lot more straightforward.
This is part 1….

Thanks for any feedback….. Nick
great video really enjoyed watching
Glad you enjoyed watching…. Simple stuff Delft clay …. Nothing up to your standards…. your octopus ring is fantastic…. Nick
Just clicked on the link to watch part two on my iPad. Sound is fine but I have no pictures. Any ideas?
I notice you didn't cut channels for the air to escape which is what I've seen in every other delft clay video. Are they unnecessary then or was there a reason why you didn't?
I'm also intrigued by your request for alternative uses of a pendulum. What do you use one for? I saw a woman in Waitrose the other day using a pendulum to dowse the peaches
Perfect video 2. The obvious use as many viewers will probably note is for the end of a plumb line.
A number of them, suspended in a row from a frame, could make a 'perpetual motion' desk toy, also known a a clacker, very popular in gift shops in the 1960s, but using metal balls. Dennis.
Hi Kellz,
Just tried those links, seem to be working fine on my iPad, not sure what happens for other people,
Here’s a link to my channel you might be able to view it from there.

Hope that works… Nick
Hi Caro,
I don’t always cut air channels, if I have a large diameter fill hole, vents are not needed and doing so can sometimes irreversibly damage your perfectly formed cavity and leave lots to clean up after casting.
Don’t mean to waffle on… but it’s a bit like …. If you want to fill an empty washing up liquid bottle with water, You can’t easily do it through the tiny spout, you get airlocks. Whereas if you pull the whole cap off, the water will enter down the side of the hole and the air will release at the same time.
Sometimes before pouring I sit my flask on slight tilt to allow the molten metal to enter the hole down its side….. Hope this makes sense…
Well I’ve heard it all now … dowsing peaches…. Maybe fruit in Waitrose has a higher vibration…. Or maybe she was testing whether they were worth the money… without taking a bite.
Or maybe testing whether she was allergic to them…… Pendulums are sometimes used for Divination…. A bit like divining rods for water…. I occasionally use one to help with a situation or dilemma that I’m stuck on that is unclear or undecided. ….. The reason to mention it on the video …. was simply to encourage comments on my channel which can really help with YouTube….. thanks… all the best …Nick
Hi Dennis,
Some people use the name plumbob in the building trade…. supposedly Egyptians used them to build pyramids.. I had one of those desk toys and knew it as a Newtons cradle.
One last thing….. have you seen a “pendulum wave” A mesmerising affect that occurs with lots of pendulum swinging at the same time on varying lengths of string.
YouTube has lots of examples of this….. cheers…. Nick
Ah yes, I remember it now: Newtons Cradle.
He used those metal balls when he ran out if apples. Regards, Dennis.
I once made one the size of a coffee table …. The steel balls were the size of apples …. Unfortunately it just didn’t work…. Instead of ricocheting the balls seem to just absorb the energy…. Nick
Hi Nick
Tried again last night and everything ok now thanks. I have a polished wooden pendulum which I’m told is for finding water etc
Regards Kellz
Hi Kellz,
Marvellous stuff this modern technology, how it mostly just works. A friend of mine who is a bit mystical just uses her bunch of keys when she needs a answer to a dilemma…. Nick
Thanks - I thought that was probably the case. Do you want me to ask again on the you tube channel so you can answer there to get some comments?Quote:

I didn't comment on YouTube, because it seems that it would disclose your full name. i get enough spam as it is. Dennis.
Hi Caro,
Yes if you could comment below the video on YouTube it would be a great help, The more comments and communication on a video the better, it helps with YouTube algorithms…it’s hard to think of a way to encourage it…. In part one video I asked if anyone knew what the name of the blade thing was …. Not well thought out on my behalf …. A one comment reply answered the question and that was that. … so hopefully a bit of cosmic pendulum banter might help……
You must know your stuff… living near Glastonbury… dousing lessons in stone circles…. Sounds all very fabulously alternative.
Thanks for your help… Nick
Hi Dennis,
me being a bit inexperienced on all things digital, not knowing where information goes or where spam comes from can be a bit worrying. But I generally trust it will be alright.
I’ve occasionally told people that I do my banking on my phone and to their shock and horror they’ve said that they don’t understand why I would take such risks.
I’ve been getting a lot of text messages saying that my parcel is ready for delivery if I pay some extra money…. Working out the good from the bad is always a challenge.
Leave me a YouTube comment if you can…. Thanks… all the best…Nick
All the best…
You can use any name you like ;) I have a number of accounts and switch between them.Quote:
