Mystery Golf Ball in a Block of Wood (WoodLogger.com)

Putting this Golf Ball into a Block of Wood is a quickie woodworking project that is fun and simple project. In this video I'll show how I made one with a few easy woodworking steps. If you want more pics and a description on how I made this, check out my site over at: www.woodlogger.com/

[@xfacter75]

Good video and I'm impressed with your shop I like the way you've got everything nice in order

[@oddities-whatnot]

lance johnson yes thats the first thing I noticed !

[@taylorlaing6833]

This is so cool! I absolutely love your channel I've watched about everything. I showed these to my wood shop teacher and he is going to teach classes how to make them!

[@lynnlard5531]

When I was a kid, back in the '50s, an old fellow had crutches with several pretty, colorful "captive" marbles encased like that. Fascinating to a kid, like me! A similar thing my dad made once was a Coca Cola bottle with a hole drilled all the way through and a carved wooden arrow penetrating through both sides. In that case the arrow head (or the carved fletching) had been soaked and compressed down to permit insertion, then expanded again when dried.

[@kerrygibbs8198]

I like your kind demeanor and you convey knowledge in a easy to understand way. Thank You!

[@vows2sweden]

PERFECT ! Just what I needed!

[@knowall5792]

I envy your workshop, and shiny tools! Your workmanship is even better.

[@rafeer4850]

Cool stuff. I wish I had the gear and the knowledge to woodwork like this, seems like a relaxing hobby.

[@ShahrukhKhan-dc4nx]

That's beautifully done..

[@leopolddjurovic7345]

simple, but so smart! i really like it!

[@fivetwentyseven8598]

Pretty cool I’ve seen this before had to come check it out to make sure I could do it. Thanks for sharing

[@ReneeNme]

Wish I had a fully equipped woodshop ( I'm not talking CNC equipped or anything of that magnitude ) because I'm confident I'd be able to make a nice little living from my shop products at craft shows and such. I used to work for an antiques reproduction company that specialized in curio/china cabinets of all sorts ( Plain Jane's all the way up to our 7 foot tall hall monsters ). The owner of the company used to allow me to work on my own creations during breaks and lunch because he knew how much joy I got from them. Eventually, because he appreciated my sense of fabrication, we put our minds together and constructed a fiberglass/plexiglass wind fairing for his recumbent bicycle. Turned out quite nice for a couple of guys who were working from scratch.

[@missouribob7850]

Start small with some basic tools. There are a lot of KZbin videos for small workshops. I'm trying to set up one myself. I'm currently stuck on what name to use for a channel. :)

[@woodiethompson526]

Pretty impressive, great idea !

[@thiagooliveiravasconcelos963]

Que gênio Parabéns pelo vídeo. .!!

[@infosneakr]

great video, glad I watched it!

[@mikefink2134]

I second that, love the shop, nicely done

[@davomontgomeryda3rd]

thats pretty cool man, thanks for sharing! i saw on your website that you recommend taping off the golf ball if your planning on applying a finish to the wood... just thought i'd mention that another option that may be easier then tape would be to cut a square of plastic wrap/ suran wrap, feed it under the ball, back through and over the top of the ball and then twist the corners to wrap the ball inside the wood.

[@Woodlogger]

Stew Pidass Aaahh.. yep good tip.. Thanks..!

***** LOL What about $5 worth of equipment and what is a forstner bit?

[@leighstevens1075]

Mind games. Love it!

[@soccerboss7924]

I’ve never really taken specific types of wood into consideration when doing projects but can I bend hard wood just as easily as soft wood when “boiled”??

[@diabloed3909]

beautiful workshop 👍

[@RichardBronosky]

This would be a great kids project because of how safe a drill press is to use. If you do a little prep work, it will make the child feel like they did it all by themselves. Note: use 1 1/4 inch bit (divided by 2 is 5/8 inch radius) Tools & Materials: miter saw drill press 1 1/4" Forstner bit 4 clamps push stick rubber mallet wood stock 1 3/4 inch square or greater Setup: 1. Rip the wood stock to 1 3/4 inch in advance. 2. Clamp a 5 inch stop on the right side of the fence of your miter saw. 3. Have an Irwin Quick Grip style clamp beside the miter saw. (With children you want to teach them to clamp their projects and not hold them.) 4. Clamp (with 2 clamps) a scrap fence on your drill press 7/8 inch (1 3/4 inch divided by 2) from center. 5. Screw into your fence 2 stops 3 5/8 inch (5 inch stock - 3/4 inch ends - 5/8 inch bit radius) from center on each side of your drill press. 6. To keep their left hand safe from the saw, tape a sheet of paper to your miter saw table where you want them to put their hand. 7. To keep their left hand safe from the drill press, have a push stick beside the drill press. Steps: 1. Have the child trace their own hand on the paper (from #6 above) and write their name somewhere outside. (If you have several kids doing this, like for a Maker Space project, have a box of 64 crayons and let each child pick a different color because all the hands will be overlapping. When everyone is done, the paper is an art project prize for the organizer.) 2. Clamp wood to miter saw and make 1 cut. 3. Put wood against fence and use push stick to drill as many times as needed 4. Sand 5. Boil 6. Hammer golf ball in with a rubber mallet

+Bruno “Richard” Bronosky no one cares...

[@michaelreyes3653]

@Tim Olson Here's a huge collection of woodworking plans: HootWood. com I was able to build 2 sheds in my backyard with these plans so I highly recommend them.

[@lsteiner]

When I was in grade 9 wood shop, Dave Code, who had long hair, and also though a drill press was safe, changed his mind when the bit caught his blonde tresses and promptly removed about a 1" diameter section of his scalp. Dave is much more cautious now around woodworking tools :)

[@cameronmorris3092]

Neat trick, thank you for uploading

[@medicbabe2ID]

Those clamp racks! I love that! So much more organized and attractive than our system, which consists of 5gal buckets :D

[@Manchester_engineering]

What speed do you use on you're drill press to drill with you're forster bit's? Josh.

[@DTGuitarTech]

Love this!

[@arsenal_7512]

Simple but cool; Props to you sir 👏

[@guitarstalkandtech9085]

Pretty cool. I liked that alot.

[@andber2164]

Love it!

[@larrywhite6179]

Thats awesome!

[@justinm977]

You mention expanding and contracting but it's really just making the wood more flexible to allow the ball to be inserted.

[@Woodlogger]

+Justin M Ahh... good to know..!

[@rossgriffiths1763]

hi woodlogger made 2 of these today the first one broke so tryed againandi used 2x2 wood will be making more thanks for the vid was great

[@PawelTableTennisenglish]

Good stuff man!

[@brianandrews3886]

WHAT SIZE WOOD BIT DID YOU USE

[@NewbTactical]

amusing gag gift for a golfer

[@Carlkhor]

Thank you I made two - white and yellow golf balls and drilled the top and bottom with the same size drill bit.

[@williamdawson3353]

Just made it out of walnut for a 'Hole in One' ball for my lucky friend. Worked great. Boiled the walnut for about five minutes and when inserting heard a creaking sound but no evidence of crack on dried finished piece. Guess I got lucky.

[@Longtack55]

Musta bin a big walnut mate?

[@MzicLv]

that's awesome!

[@luckigolfer]

+WoodLogger What size Forstner bit did you use? Thanks for the vid!

[@reinadoupazzini8606]

Hey this one looks fun!

[@williammcnabb1354]

Wanna make this, this weekend when my granddaughter is here. I'm curious if you can use a different species of wood, something other than Basswood? I live in a place in the world where it's difficult to find wood such as basswood. Mostly, I'm wondering about pine. Thanks :-))

[@myv84x45]

Very cool Gift idea Thanks for your videos

[@mr.quackers1130]

really nice drill press

[@Meebs01]

Very cool, what size forstner bit did you use?

[@jamalalhasbi3289]

Nice. I will try it

[@sergiokiwon6688]

I'M from BRAZIL 😂 Amazing recomendo

[@user-tn9pq3vs2e]

просто и гениально! супер!

[@johndoe3328]

Cool trick!

[@jasonmccabe5915]

Do the thin sides ever dry and warp, or do they dry perfectly straight every time? Also have you ever tried making one of these with a scroll saw?

[@karlbeutjer9107]

This would also be very interesting using a bowling ball. Probably need a 12 x 12 or larger for the frame and a lot more soaking.

[@gabrielemagnabosco8926]

+Karl Beutjer that would be awesome...

[@boydmooso4826]

seriously....awesome?

[@Longtack55]

You know boys - bigger is "awesome."

[@Longtack55]

Gotta drill bit around 11" dia or a router?

[@tstuff]

Or just make a lamp from a bowling pin.

[@BluePapillon88]

What song are you using for this video or who's playing? Thanks!!!

[@ThunderBow98]

This is so simple! I have some scrap wood and plan on making this for my dad for father's day!

[@eizojblpro]

Cool trick.

[@tshidiso89]

3:48 - "...the wood is still a little wet but it went in just fine..."

[@h2w25]

That’s what she said!

[@sabyasachirimpa]

@@h2w25 who your mother or sister?

[@izza7533]

Very COOL!

[@franciscojavierbravocerda3377]

Nice! I really love to subscribe to your channel to see in how many creative ways you flip the bird next time.

[@gattomalo]

Excelente...!!!

[@jaredwall1295]

Cool. Keep making videos. I don't care about woodworking, in fact its something I quite dislike. Not my thing. Seeing you do it though I can tell its something you love. That was nice to see. Thanks for uploading! Keep it up!

[@neoharland7038]

Very talented... 🔨

[@alberritocaravela]

Great idea

[@canadienbeastmode1532]

@woodlogger what size of drill bit

[@kennethkozak2761]

Love it!! New to hobby, going to make a few for gifts. Thanks!!

[@pepperdog3761]

can u tell me what size f-bit he used?

[@Dannitor]

Hei WoodLogger, nice vid, greetings from Iceland.

[@johnstreet1812]

I made a dozen of these as gifts for our daughter's wedding in 2017 after seeing the idea elsewhere. For the golf balls I ordered personalized ones with the couples names and the wedding date. I gave them out at the rehearsal dinner and made them guess how it was done. Took a while, but grooms sister finally got the idea.

[@erichfouke3677]

When I was in Scouts we had a guy that would hand carve chains and do the same in this video but all hand carved with a wooden ball inside. He was talented.

[@charlesstugard5465]

scouts were a great springboard to learning, wish my stepson had taken it growing up.

[@travisleeds2910]

Crazy Ed in Kingman Az had carved a ball inside of a box, my son said ya but can you carve a pyramid inside the ball inside of the box, about 3 to 6 months later he had, he also had several chains carved from 1 block of wood, extreme patience, lots of time, some bandaids, a lot of cursed words, a few extra peices of wood, and a whole bunch of knowledge and talent.

[@PRNadh]

Excellent video 👌

[@Uncle_Princess]

I am trying to make a walking cane, and I would like to put a crystal on the top, like you did here, inside a carved hole, so can I do it the same way, or do I need to saw off the top and glue it back together?

This is magic.
