Make wooden balls easy

How to turn wooden balls. How to combine both the lathe and the drill press to make wooden balls. In this woodworking video we see how to set both woodworking tools to make the wood balls using a hole saw. Turning wooden balls can be tricky, but with this trick we can get almost perfect wood balls.

That was one of the most terrifying and ingenious things I've ever seen!

[@byonbill9499]

"I think not bad" is truly an understatement. That is really thinking outside of the box.. I wish I had the need for some wooden balls.

[@thomasarussellsr]

That sounds like what Gapetto said just before deciding that Pinocchio was to be a boy.

[@boristhebilder7553]

Thomas Russell hahaha

[@andrewcady9443]

You must use them to play croquet!

LMAO - That is one of the best comments I have seen in a while

[@redjack2629]

I'm thinking wood and resin. It'll need some touching up to make it glassy, but it's a good start.

[@BrassLock]

That's amazing! I did think it would all jam up suddenly at the start, but it worked a charm. Very innovative. That's what I love about your woodworking videos, they make my brain re-wire itself and accept new ways of looking at stuff.

[@thoslwwillis]

Well done! Very clever of you. I look forward to your videos. All the best to you, Sir.!

[@jcortese3300]

I was looking at your setup and thinking to myself, "OMG, he's not going to do what I think he's going to -- he is. He seriously is." :-) This was Matthias Wandel-quality crazy/clever.

[@41A2E]

I actually got here through one of Matthias' videos.

[@ianmoone2359]

People say much the same when I take to wood spinning on my Lathe, with a 4 inch Makita angle grinder & tungsten tip rotary power chisel (Arbortec wood carver pro).
It works so well I’m going to make a dedicated copy Lathe with the angle grinder and wood carver out of my 2nd Lathe & keep it for repetitive baluster type work, where it’s mounted on a cross slide that follows the desired shape template. I’m of half a mind to use CNC & stepper motors to automate it!

Wow! That is really cool.

Matthias is a freaking GENIUS!

[@2hopskipjump2]

This man has balls of wood for trying this, literally. Don't you just love YT.

[@SilentGloves]

This is definitely a safety squints engaged, mom on speed dial scenario. 😂

[@bobs12andahalf2]

Sketchier as frig

[@johnbeauvais3159]

2 condoms as well

[@carolynmmitchell2240]

Chip Ormsby im pretty sure even in safety glasses I would squint

[@HelenaOfDetroit]

Extremely high pucker factor

[@TakenTooSeriously]

carolyn mmitchell I'm squinting through the screen.

[@andrewmackinnon3327]

Another genius on RUclips. That's two I've come across in the last hour.

[@SatanSupimpa]

Here in Brazil we have a name for these clever improvisations that looks like could go very wrong, gambiarra. And you sir is a gambiarra master.

[@testticklehead]

Thanks for the video. It's great to see videos like this where people think outside the box. To be honest, I was waiting for the hole saw to grab hold of the wood and something go flying. A little bit of danger always makes projects more fun!

[@zross8471]

Fantastic! You utilize the potential of the tool beyond its typical use.

[@spudhead8489]

that's some great wooden balls

[@eCitizen1]

That is very clever. Thanks for sharing. I was terrified and thrilled at the same time.

[@WoodworkingwithDIYtools]

hahahahaha Yes, it was 😅

[@BitHead1000]

Howdy Doodie would have been thrilled with this one.

[@songofthepassaic1521]

I've been wondering about this for several years now. Now I don't have to try it myself. Thank you for the great vid

[@edl4114]

One of the things this video taught me is how people make those fancy wooden railings.

[@mattwasmyname]

Why people give thumbs down? This is beautiful simplicity.

[@macbilling6410]

What a fantastic idea

[@1d2a3ve41951]

Thanks Sergio,this gave me the idea on how to make planters with these balls attaches to the four wooden posts for a good finish!!!

[@2ndsonof8]

Very clever way to turn wooden balls, thanks for sharing!

[@scottlowe5961]

Pure genius, I wish my dad was still alive. He would have loved this.

[@bigshortstack2929]

Mr. Padin.......you Sir, have an incredible eye and thought process for developing new ways of doing projects. You are an artist and I thank you for your videos that have given me ways to build many of my own projects.

[@clivebashford2900]

You are one clever man that never ceases to amaze me. Oh how I wish you were my neighbour!

[@clivebashford2900]

Great, I have a shop too. We could be unpopular together.

[@InoFughaul]

Nice little trick!

[@jamesallen6007]

Excellent, many thanks.

[@tunapig]

[@tianamatson]

[@DAPRAFAZEREMCASA]

melhor maneira de fazer bolas de madeira que eu já vi

[@petea2721]

You sir have some balls

[@johnwildermuth3136]

pete a And they're not brass.

[@MCsCreations]

HAHAHAHA

[@TheGauges420]

And they are made of wood!

[@barkybarker2592]

There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity.

[@derrickp2628]

Amazing bro!!! I had a piece of 4x4 fly off my lathe one time...definitely had to change my underwear haha.

[@nolanwoodworksartcompany6612]

Woah. What an awesome idea. Great job. BALLSSSSS!!!

[@ianthompson9201]

Very ingenious and effective. I imagined there would be several quite delicate processes, but you did it all in one go!

[@McAVITYourWay.]

I have the exact same hobbist lathe in my shed, hardly used and gathering dust, I will get it out tomorrow and give this great idea a try, you sir, are a genius!!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Awesome technique!

[@bachirramdane2947]

Very good job

[@mr.b.w.3146]

I say, what a clever idea! With a bit of imagination and invention................

[@kerrygibbs8198]

Nice Job good idea

[@mrsyed8828]

Brilliant project

[@ckeller07]

impressive. worked quite well.

[@markohelenin8731]

Awesome! I have lathe/mill and this is by far the most easy way to make a sphere!

[@ericdell1819]

Wow great work

[@kripto999]

Thats a great idea

[@darrencouzins6500]

Nice Job

[@jorgeaguilar5809]

AMAZING! I've gotta try this, thank you, buddy!!!

[@sergeykuts9346]

Sergio, thank you. It is really easy, fast and useful idea.

[@mtmchenry]

Very ingenious idea. Thanks for the video.

[@smashyrashy]

Yeah easy and we we all have this setup at home

[@shellyg397]

That’s really clever! I’m glad the ball didn’t fly off at the end 😅

[@LeopoldUlysees]

Had I not seen it with my own eyes . . . Amazing.

[@spuds6423]

Nice job, Sergio... you never disappoint.

[@jchast1980]

Excellent!

[@coldblu357]

Awesome as always Sergio....thankyou

[@WoodworkingwithDIYtools]

Thank you very much. It is nice that people know my name despite I changed the name of the channel 👍😃

[@garmar704]

Cool idea!

[@JDeWittDIY]

Good idea Sergio!

[@jonrosenthal7749]

Nice work..good

[@Roman-hx3qj]

Looks good.

[@SpecificLove7]

WOW, that is awesome

[@triangle379]

Wonderful idea put in action!

[@capcom6633]

I am thoroughly impressed by your ingenuity! Not to mention your fearlessness of completely cutting through the wood. I probably would've cut and sanded the last bit just for safety. And fear of injury( lol)! Great video again. If I wouldn't have already subscribed I would have after this one!

[@gillessophie6158]

So great and smart. As usual with you

[@omskariyazmaraikayer913]

unique idea.never imagined that before.excellent.

[@ToolinAround]

Great way to make a newel post.

[@10seanf]

very nice trick to know. thanks

[@Mark73]

Holy crap! That's brilliant!

[@jardel_lucca]

This is not so dangerous if go slowly with low power tools just like he did. Very clever method... Thanks for sharing!

[@davidmiller5832]

You sir, are The Man!

[@thomasarussellsr]

Maybe if your rounded the wood first it might run smoother, less drag on the outside of the hole saw. Or, when you get close, use a parting tool or SHARP chisel to open the outside gap a bit.

[@ericdell1819]

Thomas Russell I agree.

[@davidspicer9621]

Thomas Russell killer what's your channel name where you did the way you said? I cant wait to watch it
