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

In this video I make a no. 15 pool ball out of stainless steel , copper and epoxy resin.
After seeing @mymechanics 8 ball video , I told myself that I have to make a ball out of it too because it is very challenging in the machinist field. The only thing I had to do was to find a way to use different techniques from My Mechanics, firstly so as not to copy his work and secondly but not least , those of you who watch our videos, see different techniques but also a different video . So I started thinking about how to make this ball differently, I made the plan and executed it. The result was more than satisfactory, it was a fulfillment of my work and I hope you will like it, both the video and the ball.
thanks for your patience to read this and hopefully you will watch the video. Cheers !

[@mymechanics]

Good job! Which one should I make next?

[@zillionvfx4786]

please add other episodes of datsun restoration..

[@calecoyle4291]

The cue ball from damascus.

[@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.

[@CoolAgainRestoration]

Thanks a lot mate 😊

[@dan725]

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

[@CoolAgainRestoration]

Glad you enjoyed it!😊

[@ds2jim]

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 👍

[@GrayRaceCat]

Until you go to shift on a hot sunny day!

[@secretagentbloke]

@@GrayRaceCat I have a metal one in my Mini, so I know the feeling!

Loved that final transformation from the cylinder into a sphere. Very nicely done!

[@jessevandyk7980]

Finally someone making something awesome not just restoring

[@CoolAgainRestoration]

Thanks and glad you liked it 😊

[@TheGman0808]

We need a full set between y’all too. My mechanics does all the solid balls and you do all the striped balls. That would be absolutely sick pool set

[@CoolAgainRestoration]

That sound challenging 😈

[@Shell_Beach]

Can you imagine what shooting a rack of these would sound like.😖

[@TheIrishman007]

My man! That is absolutely amazing. The precision is next level. Your work is exemplary. 🙂

[@CoolAgainRestoration]

Thank you very much mate 😊

[@juanantonioverdiasensi8367]

} p DVD dc

[@-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.

[@-bail-]

@@joekruger1857 imagine gatekeeping machining

[@stoojinator]

That was awesome. The end result is beautiful. I love how the copper and steel are just so seamless. Well done!

[@CoolAgainRestoration]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

I love copper, beautiful job! Turning copper on the lathe can really be a pain sometimes, I bet this was a lot of work. But it definitely was worth it! 🙏🏼

[@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

[@CobyGannaway]

I don’t even know what to say at this point! Other than…like…I want one so bad!!!!! Awesome. Brilliant. Amazing. What are you making the pool cue out of??? I’m just speechless. You have officially moved into the artist arena. Also I am so jealous of your tap and die. Just wow. Again I wish you and yours the very best!

[@CoolAgainRestoration]

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.

[@leafgreensniper13]

Thanks for giving MM some credit, he’s the og!

[@CoolAgainRestoration]

I had to take credits to him because it was his idea to make a ball from steel and apart of that , we are friends who talk every day. But for some people who want to say that I steal the idea from him , I had to not agree that, because my decision was to make a ball with different techniques and video making. I saw some other KZbinrs who they made the 8 ball too , practically it is the same way to do it but with different materials . I don’t understand why if you are a craftsman, why don’t choose other ball , or other way to do it 🤯
