I made Insane Pool Ball out of Stainless , Copper and Epoxy Resin - Lathe Turning Ball

[@LaSandWitch]

Question: since the end caps are screwed in, could there be an air pocket in the middle of the screw is shorter than the bolt? And would that make the ball imperfectly balanced?

[@CoolAgainRestoration]

I don’t know too much physics but probably you could have right. Maybe someone more experienced to answer to this question , I will pin the comment here !

[@anonnymouse2402]

I would not worry about the balance as copper (8.96 g/cm³) and steel (7.85g/cm³) have different densities, so it was never going to balance anyway. On the other hand, you could use the air pocket hide a message or something small and valuable.

[@max_garcia]

probably yeah. The pieces are different shapes and materials so it's highly likely it isn't balanced. Although with that rolling test... maybe not?

[@mymechanics]

Good job! Which one should I make next?

[@joseantoniomartinezcruz5244]

Miss you videos too 😭😭😭

[@DanKoning777]

Instead of restoring something old/broken, I'd love to see you design/make something you've always wanted *from scratch.* Something unique to you from your past, the shop, or life outside the shop-anything you like via: *"I make a new one."* Especially if it involved using items you've restored in past videos. jmo

[@CoolAgainRestoration]

@my mechanics deja vu 😅

[@joshlego4775]

Perfect. Just skill. No voice. Its everything I ever wanted in a turning video.

Thanks a lot mate 😊

Well that was utterly satisfying. Incredible machining skills, patience, and craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing this :)

it was satisfying, wasn't it? that's the word I had in mind, too!

[@BuddyDanger]

@@CoolAgainRestorationI appreciate you taking us on this journey with you!!! My father-in-law left me his cane and I recently broke the 8ball on the end of it. I would love your help to recreate it!!!

[@ACCORDriver_NL]

Incredible! Beautiful. I would love to see a complete set and then actually playig pool with them.

[@CoolAgainRestoration]

Great idea! Thanks a lot 😊

[@Dragon359]

Would be difficult to pull off, but I'd love to see that too.

[@capatainnemo]

it wouldnt work, they would stop dead as they have no rebound

[@luxordeathbed]

Maybe not. IF they were all the same size as billard balls, less material. @@Dragon359

[@sum1liteamatch]

Wouldn't the harder materials like stainless steel damage the softer material like copper?

[@secretagentbloke]

The tool you made for shaping the ball was excellent! Drill a thread in the bottom and you have the mother of all gearshift knobs 😉👍🏻

[@CoolAgainRestoration]

Thanks a lot mate and glad you enjoyed 😊 that probably is a good idea 👍

[@-bail-]

Now that two of you have done this, this should be a machinist rite of passage. How long until we have a full set 👀

[@CoolAgainRestoration]

😅 I don’t know , maybe sooner 😅

[@wictimovgovonca320]

Yes, it would be interesting to see how well they play. I expect with the hard surface it would be very similar to a resin ball. The weight may affect play (for good players) as the distance would be different for a similar power.

[@-bail-]

@@CoolAgainRestoration this has me thinking of different materials for each ball and if I can add my opinion to the pool, a tungsten 8 ball would be amazing. SUPER heavy 👀

[@joekruger1857]

A machinist right of passage should include threading with the lathe, not a die. Lmao.

[@CoolAgainRestoration]

Turning copper on the lathe is very challenging every time 😬 thanks a lot my friend and glad you enjoyed 👍😊

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

@@CoolAgainRestoration Absolutely. But you did the right thing using the sharp Ak A inserts for the copper. Works much better with those

[@chainsawhero5]

That’s so crazy. The shine/polish is so good at some angles you can’t tell that you are looking at a ball. You just see the ocean and other items. Imagine a game of pool with a whole rack of these. Really beautifully done, very cool.

[@CoolAgainRestoration]

I like your solution to making the ball perfectly spherical. it's doesn't quite feel like My Mechanics' almost hack-y solution (in that it feels like some kind of secret cheat code for making machined spheres) but it's very down to earth and practical and durable feeling. love both of your work, and would love to see more.

Diersta just made a billiards table recently. I think it would be amazing if there was a collaboration between a bunch of makers to make the rest of the balls needed to have a full set for billiards and then a game was played using these metal balls on his table. Well maybe he could make a sacrificial table to play on. I don't think a normal table would survive having metal balls used.
