I don't know what's wrong about this and why it has dislikes. Just because he used tools in a different way than what you have been told to use them doesn't make it wrong. I actually liked this video.
Dude, that's genius. Nothing like going back to the basics and understanding the foundations. WHERE all this fancy equipment comes from, is what's important. The basic fundamentals like this really help... It opens your mind to true creation, rather than boring accuracy and efficiency. Something inside you lights up when you see stuff like this. It's hilarious in hindsight, just how amazing simplicity can be. Modern tooled up man is basically an idiot, and the arrogant comments negatively attacking, is just the false pride of people who don't have any depths to themselves, no ability to appreciate and connect. It's sad... this... this is freaking amazing. I am so grateful... Just started to work with wood and fix things, and I so need this. Fancy saws and mechanical things are useless without this kind of fundamental truth. Anyone that can't appreciate it, well, again, that's really sad. Thanks man, you taught me a huge lesson here. I had NO idea how to pull this off at the fundamental level. I would have needed a $1300 lathe to pull it off... because like so many others, I'm not patient and don't like to think ;-) Much appreciated.
Ohhh, so very refreshing, to see someone who 'gets it'. Every phrase you have penned rings true. I should frame them and hang them in my workshop. I wish you every success in all you do. You will go far, you will enjoy going far, but sadly you may increasingly be irritated by people's ignorance. Thank you for your company on this planet. :)
The Stephens Family Stuff HA HA HA HA HA... that is SO awesome.. wow... when someone else gets it (you), it's triply amazing! Bless you guys, that just made my day. You crack me up too... Thanks for the prophetic insight.
I watched a woordturning video once and now it's all youtube recommends, but i like it. I found it's very relaxing to see people make stuff. This one i enjoyed especially because of the creativity. Very nice, sir.
I made one instantly. But with an 2 inch pipe and the ball about 3 inches. I work as a teacher in wood working at an elementary school in Sweden. My students where very impressed. A couple of them eager to try. Most of them though, did not see the point in crafting a perfect spherical wooden ball. It's hard to explain the level of satisfaction I feel. Keep up the good work and don't stop breathing. ( I mean he noises, I love them).
+J.G. Gennedy . Thank you for your comment. I have been wondering the same. Over the last couple months it has got quite nasty. Has youtube gone all nasty all of a sudden, or is it just an isolated incident due to the number of views and therefore promotion it has had? Has this video struck a hornets nest in the minds of modern society? After all, it was done quite innocently, in good faith,and for free, to help some puppeteers who were making eyeballs at the time of making it. I have been surprised by the attention it has gained, and sadly been upset at times by how nasty some people can be over a video done for free. Why be abusive towards someone who has offered what they can , for free?... and, you are very welcome. Once again, thanks for commenting.
+PhilipStephens007 While I have been exceptionally lucky with comments on my videos, RUclips comments in general can be some of the darkest, meanest, most depressing I've found online. I don't know why, but my advice is to not take it personally. I think it has more to do with the person commenting than the video they're commenting on a lot of the time.
Why is there over 1,000 dislikes? This is actually a super helpful video for me because I don't live anywhere near a big hardware store or anything so I have to make my tools. This is perfect for me and people in big cities because you can just buy tools that are similar to this, or give yourself a challenge and make them yourself! Thanks Philip :D
+Treble Hook . Precisely. I totally agree with you. I know there are many people in your situation and that is why I do things the way I do. The problem is, that if you have internet, you are likely to be in an area of the world where you have all the gadgets that you need, and doing things simpler and rustically is likely to confront and irritate. When you live in a big city with space age gadgetry, it is hard to understand that most people on the planet do not have that gadgetry, and it rocks people's boats. It exposes, which irritates.
Philip amigo cuando publicaras mas de esos fabulosos videos? Entro en youtube solo para ver si has creado algo nuevo, tienes gran ingenio y tus videos son exzcelentes!!! Un abrazo amigo! gracias por compartir tus ideas.
Great Job, I love the fact that you had a problem and had the skills and initiative so solve it the world needs more people who look for solutions instead of complaining about difficulties. I appreciate you sharing this, thanks Philip.
I have zero need for a wooden ball, but I'm going to go make myself one. As you said, there is something therapeutic about creating something for yourself by hand. Great work.
Love the simplicity and earthiness of the whole video. Getting away from the whole jiffy culture where you just get it over the counter or from a vending machine. Reminds me of the time when i and some mates built my first canoe out of a piece of steel roofing sheet and wooden tomato box end panels with tar filler
Philip, love the technique. Sadly, until today I'd never seen the technique used before watching your video. How far back does this method (using a sharpened cylindrical cutter) date, do you know? Gives one an even greater appreciation of the effort involved in making spheres by hand before the widespread availability of power tools
I have no idea as to how balls were made historically, apart from lathes or whittling.. I saw a youtube video of a Japanese man once, using a jar and piece of mosquito netting to finish off a lathed ball and I was impressed with the physics of that, a circle on a sphere, and thought I would use the hole saw concept to rasp in a circle, to achieve a sphere, and as I did not have a hole saw, I made the one in the video and found it had some advantages over the commercial hole saws.
All these negative comments. I actually like videos of bush working/jury rigging. They get across the most important part of the idea, without the 'yeah but can't do that without a bigdigitillion dollar workshop' barrier. I take it OP is Kiwi? (Don't shoot me if yer Aus) Worked with a Kiwi oke about 10 years back. Good bush mechanic he was.
***** Doesn't bother me. I'm not paying to have him make me something by eye, nor am I buying something he's made by eye. I'm just killing time watching a free to watch video, that shows the basic concept of how to make a crude wooden sphere without a lathe and ball turning rig. The basic concept of things, and how they can be achieved with the least amount of technology, is something I find rather interesting. For my personal interests, less is more, and simple is best.
***** Somewhere there's a comment pointing out the irony in the fact that a guy who doesn't know the difference between surmise and summarize, goes about the internet dropping duh's. I'm sure I'd recognize that comment when I see it, but it's out there, man.

First is I tried to buy wooden balls and didn't find any in that size (Yes i live in America and no I was not about to travel to every store or drive too far away Just for some wooden balls) so tried making some I tried a rasp a file sand paper a really sharp knife. But they didn't came out round ( well not perfectly round). To anyone say O just use a rasp well let me tell you it's NOT that easy If you think it is then make some on video and post it. Now I would like to say your way is actually quite good and if anyone with a lick of common sense would know the beauty in that pipe you made the Reason (Mathematics) why the pipe will make round balls. But NO there too busy trying to put some one down who is kind enough to post a video someone who thinks out side the "BOX" I love your videos Keep on keeping on " You can please some of the people some of the time But you can't please ALL of the people all of the time" Don't let the ill minded get you down stay just the way you are man...
+JYC422 omg hahaha. I was laughing through this whole video. Have fun making balls! Whatever you have at hand and what works i guess. good job man. I def agree w the prison idea tho lol
Impressive! And the answer to people asking "why not buy them cheap instead"? is first of all, -You have missed the whole point. It's about satisfaction of having made something with your own hands!
+OnlineBackupServices when you take into account the economics of it and time saved in traffic while you go buy a ball, it is actually surprisingly efficient and not so mundane. I made one for a guy a couple weeks ago while he sat and watched. It was that efficient. But yeah, its not for everyone I suppose.
Great video ! I liked your marking pencil & your way of wood working pretty similar to the creative & humble woodworkers here in India. Looking forward for more of interesting projects. Warm Regards,
Yes Atif Hasan a kind of, I design & make Wooden Puzzles & Educational Toys. I actually do it for my voluntary child help organization The Jigyasa Foundation, and it's a lot of fun & learning. www.jigyasafoundation.in facebook.com/thejigyasafoundation
Thanks Manish Pathak , you are doing very good work. I am however into woodworking as a hobby. I have made small boxes, tables, stools etc.. just as a beginner and learning my way up to obtain a better finish. nice connecting with you. :)
Those are beautifully made...i always wondered how old sailors made them aboard ships...guess it was something like this...thanks...great video...nice and straightforward
Several years after you post, so it's unlikely you'll see this. But if you do, damn, that's some good work! I love the minimalist aspect, and watching the process. I have a woodshop and do a lot of work in it (hobby, not professional), but I love seeing other people's techniques and projects whether I ever have any intention of building them myself or not. Great job, I really enjoyed this.
Everyone, when you file, always push your strokes. Never go back and forth! Files only cut going away from you, so you will ruin your files doing otherwise. Push, lift back, push lift back.
actually guys - this is wrong. I did engineering fitters apprenticeship and that's where you learn to file - pressure on the forward stroke, but draw the file backwards slightly rubbing the metal in order to clear out the 'pins' the filings. If you don't do this your file will soon clog up. Also it helps to pre-dress the file with chalk - especially before filing aluminium. Just rub a piece of blackboard chalk on it.
Rob Starseed "Push, lift back..." yeah, there is nothing wrong with dragging it lightly across the surface. The point I was trying to get across was that one shouldn't make a sawing motion with files. On wood it doesn't really matter too much, but on metals it does.
Ten in all ... !!! Explanations, practicality, video, music, used tools ... Nice to meet you ... Where'd you was ... ??? :) Following ... !!! HUG ... !!!
Damn it, how did I end up here? I swear I started with watching a lil dicky video... Somehow within like 3-4 suggestions I got here, and now feel compelled to manufacture hand crafted wooden balls.. Thankfully I have tonnes of hole saws.... Im think walnut, or cherry balls, something hard, and rugged, I wanna be able to let people handle my balls without fear of damage to my balls... Balls.
"It's not what it sounds like..." You can actually make BALLS OF STEEL (or any other hard material) with the same technique. It will just take you... Several decades of hacking and filing away, I think. What's the music?
Loved this video! I have a project I've been working on for about 3 years now, I need to make two balls in buffalo horn, side by side. This may just be the answer! Thanks so much.
very creative and humble... very nicely done !!!! yet another example that lack of resources is just not enough excuse for not being able to do a job. if you have Will, you have a Way !! "Subscribed for your Creativity"
+monty poppins . I have a friend in New Zealand who managed to make stone spheres using this tutorial. He did however use a diamond tipped hole saw to get better mileage out of the tool.
Wow, I really want to make one of these now for no reason at all.
Man, you could make wooden bearings. ;)
I don't know what's wrong about this and why it has dislikes. Just because he used tools in a different way than what you have been told to use them doesn't make it wrong. I actually liked this video.

yes you are right.

actually guys - this is wrong. I did engineering fitters apprenticeship and that's where you learn to file - pressure on the forward stroke, but draw the file backwards slightly rubbing the metal in order to clear out the 'pins' the filings. If you don't do this your file will soon clog up. Also it helps to pre-dress the file with chalk - especially before filing aluminium. Just rub a piece of blackboard chalk on it.

Balls.
Wow, with power tools it will be very fast way of making them. Thank you very much.
"It's not what it sounds like..."
You can actually make BALLS OF STEEL (or any other hard material) with the same technique. It will just take you... Several decades of hacking and filing away, I think.
What's the music?
ClydeYellow You are right :).. and the music credits are at the end, on screen.

Google "Aleksandr Dugin".
Loved this video! I have a project I've been working on for about 3 years now, I need to make two balls in buffalo horn, side by side. This may just be the answer! Thanks so much.

I was a little surprised you didn't use a hand-crank drill after fabricating all of the other tools. but this is pretty awesome!
Dat beard ._.
Me gusto mucho tu video recién termine de hacer mi bola de madera, dado que no tengo muchas erramientas saludos desde argentina
So, you've essentially made a tool to make a tool to create a tutorial about creating an object.
Don't go too far.
+Wali Adeeb. That's essentially what industry does... maybe they should not go too far also.
Great technique. Easy and inexpensive to perform. Thanks for sharing, friend.
Wow! Great how to video. I’ve learned something totally new. Thank you!

Welcome... hope you enjoy the viewing. :)
yes i do, i like how you do it and you show that we dont need machine and stuffs for make it, i enjoy hand made stuffs well done
Outstanding wooden balls Sir! And I commend you on your beard! This method could give a clue to how those mystic stone spheres were made!
+monty poppins . I have a friend in New Zealand who managed to make stone spheres using this tutorial. He did however use a diamond tipped hole saw to get better mileage out of the tool.
Why is this recommended for me RUclips?
And why do you always have the best recommendations?
Exactly
Fantastic!! Necessity is the mother of invention my good man!! Therapeutic indeed, the more hands on the better!!!
+Jason Johnson . Yes I had a need, I got the job done, and it led onto a number of other cool things.
