I make an ''8 Ball'' out of solid Stainless Steel and Brass

I 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.

Hahaha! You were hiding under the bench for that first reveal shot. Nice. This is an amazing project my friend.

lol I missed, thats pretty funny

This was terrific. The way you created the "8" out of two cylinders embedded with brass was brilliant.

[@Miss_Toots]

This is stunning work

[@6yjjk]

That moment of joy when I finally worked out how you were going to make the two halves of the 8 come together perfectly...

[@joeyhemlock]

I wish this would have started with a chipped 8-ball and "This billiard ball breaks too easily. I make a new one." 😂

[@mymechanics]

Yeah or a missing 8 in a set...

I'm sure other balls will get chipped because of this 8-ball, he will make new ones(balls)😂😂😂

That is amazing how that "8" is seperate metals pressed into the ball. It looks so perfect like it was printed on. Great job. Please send me one :)

Much appreciated 😁

absolutely beautiful work. from start to finish

[@maxlandy7642]

Must be amazing to have all these random items around that can be used as ornaments or decorative pieces. Even better to be able to say you made them when people ask. Great work. You should sell some pieces or raffle them

[@original-booxfield]

I would like to buy one. I simply must own this beautiful object. 😍

[@nigelwylie01]

​@@original-booxfield Who wouldn't want one of these beautiful objects? Let's calculate the cost: A fiver for materials, 4 days labour of the most gifted metallurgist on KZbin: Hourly rate? If garages sometimes charge £90 an hour for labour, I reckon MyMechanic's skills are at least double theirs, so let's say (ok, perhaps somewhat generously!) £200 per hour, and I bet a day is more than 8 hours, probably more like 12, so one stainless 8-Ball, valued at £9,605.00: (plus p&p!). I don't think many of us could afford any of these museum quality works of art!

The best part of this video to me is I came here straight from watching the video of you restoring the arbor press you used here.
