I make an ''8 Ball'' out of solid Stainless Steel and Brass
Переглядів 40,635,052
3 роки томуI 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.

@@DavidPankarican no dislike from myself, but... the last touches prevent this "ball" from being perfectly spherical, not to mention mass difference between the alloys used, making it a purely decorative object.
@gregmead2967 2 роки тому
@@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.
