I make an ''8 Ball'' out of solid Stainless Steel and Brass
Рет қаралды 40,672,193
3 жыл бұрынI had this idea since I recently discovered how to easily make balls on the milling machine and lathe. As I currently don't know what to restore next, I decided to make the 8 ball. It was a very cool little project. Very accurate work was needed to get all six individual pieces fit together with no gaps. The hardest part of this project was filming the last few shots, because it is so super shiny now and reflects everything. I really like how it turned out and it will be a nice decoration piece to look at.
I hope you like my work and the video.

I don't have lots of money to buy art of this nature; however, I will do my best to meet your cost if you'd make me anything.

As a long time woodworker I've always admired craftsmanship in any form. Taking a collection of raw materials and turning them into art is a skill that few have and you sir have some brilliant skills. Kudos to you and keep exploring your creativity and art!! Peace.

@gregmead2967 2 жыл бұрын
@@jmc8583 It was always going to be decorative. No one is going to use a steel 8-ball in real pool game. It probably outweighs the other balls by 5-10x. But I was also surprised that he used a file at the end. If he had taken the nub and put the ball into the chuck at an angle, he could have used the shape of the rest of the ball to maintain sphericity.
