This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Amazingly well done! I would love to see one made out of aluminum next time. Maybe even anodized to match the colors in the game! Regardless this is so cool and I look forward to seeing what else you make in the future!
I carry it almost daily. There's a few minor things I'd tweak, and I wouldn't abuse it as much as another knife, but it's still handy and very easy to carry around. I like it's slimness.

How much would it cost me if I requested that you make that Pokeball for me? (without the shipping cost, I don't want to share where I live in the comments)
This was an amazing video! I hope my CNC skills will get here one day. On a side note if you need a good lacquer try Deft products. You can find these at Ace Hardware store. They dry fast and leave a beautiful finish.
Not a Pokemon fan, I couldn't tell my Magicarps from my Chumbawambas (that's a Pokemon, right?), but damn, this is a sweet project! Started thinking you lost some sanity there with Comic Sans though, but it all came together in the end! Very cool!
This is the first time I’ve ever left a review on a video. Just wanted to say that the time and effort you put into creating the piece as well as editing the video with your voiceover paid off. I loved watching this entire video and while I don’t have the skills to create the a poke ball like yours, it was fun admiring your process and listening to you explain it step by step. Thank you.
This is your coolest project ever, and you’ve made a ton of cool projects over the years. I’m not even a Pokémon fan but there are so many cool techniques in this project that I want to make one.
Bro this is ABSURD. I love it so much. 100% want one. I’m customizing a pokeball tin right now and came here for insight on the hinges. Nicely executed!!
Dude, that looks awesome. I would love to have one of those things myself. I don’t suppose you can help me out with that. I’m not really a wood carver so I wouldn’t able to get anywhere close to creating that masterpiece without some help. I know that you won’t make more on account of time consumption, but would it be possible for you to send over the 3D design for it so I can try to make it myself? I’m sorry for being rude, I’m just a really big Pokémon fan and would love to have that work of art.
Goodness, Winston, I would pay big money to do a “Vulcan Mind Meld” to obtain your Fusion 360 knowledge. I’m pretty good with Carbide Create and moderate with VCarve, but Fusion 360 is a bit too complicated for me… Anyway, this is beautiful!
It has been 2 years since you posted this, but here I am, probably way over my head, attempting to use your example to attempt to figure out how to make a globe-sized(aka using actual globes to DIY it) Pokéball that opens to use as a "gift bag/wrap" of sorts for a few Christmas gifts for 2 young Pokémon fans. I'm not smart enough to understand half of this, but I am going to keep trying until I can figure out a good way to do the hinges and button without it opening too easily.
I know this is a year off, but a CNC router if you use Fusions pecking tool path can absolutely drill holes with high rpm consistently and nicely in bulk. For those wondering, Pecking is when the bit goes up, then down repeatedly to take just a little material at a time with a plunge cut. If you have a dust collection system set up, on the upstroke your dust should be cleared from the hole, and the hole itself is "Drilled" at a rate of however aggressive you set up your packs. For 1/16" endmills I set my machine to take 0.0316" off per peck which is half of 1/16" of an inch. for a 1/8th I'd use the same peck when you start getting to bigger endmills you can take a little more off on each of the downmoves. That being said, do not trust my parameters, you need to figure your own parameters out for your CNC, and I highly recommend that when you are trying out new trick and new tool paths you play with them on scrap boards. To play with that pecking toolpath I used a bunch of scrap 2x4 pieces and drilled easily 100 holes to see what was going to work best / be cleanest.
As a woodworker yes it looks beautiful but it takes away the real fun using a lathe machine. That’s why I never commission anyone making something like this for me. Because I don’t little using the machine he uses. But it’s a great product. The fun you get out of a lathe is way more fun than make a computerized machine
I have always been super impressed with Starbond's CA glues. I was introduced to them by a friend, who is a luthier. He was introduced to them by another master luthier in the area. As one of the amazing tricks of the trade. I have been hooked since that point. They have been a great company to work with even if your just a hobbyist.
Hey Winston, get one of those ball-tipped router bits (a literal ball attached to a shank, not a typical ball end mill), it's perfect for these rare situations where you need a concave surface perpendicular to the vertical axis. And Fusion can surprisingly work with it.
Hi Wiston, first of all your videos are beautiful. Keep on like this. I was wondering if you can give me an advice for a CNC that I would like t buy. I'm not sure which is the best option between a shapeoko or a CNC6040 from Ebay. Especially considering that living in Italy it is not easy to get a Shapeoko. What is your suggestion considering also the build quality and strenght of the machine. Consider that my target is to mill wood and in the best case scenario some small alluminium plates. Thank you for your help.
I have never seen a 6040 first hand. Plenty of people get those cheap Chinese CNCs working, but they're generally slow, and the support is non-existant. If you're good with electronics and mechanical systems it's probably nothing to be afraid of, but I think the user experience will still be poorer overall. Have you looked at distributors in Europe for the Shapeoko? That might make it easier. (Full disclosure, I work for Carbide3D.)
This is fantastic! I absolutely love the self-righting feature because of the magnets! I think I would have sat there for quite some time before I could convince myself to drill the holes for those hinges.
this turned out awesome. a cool tip for hiding the gap is to sprinkle some sawdust over the ca glue. that will match the color perfectly(assuming you used the typical clear version of ca glue)
Awesome job! Love the magnetic stand! I've made a few Poké Balls myself, but not out of wood. Have you considered making the Arceus wooden steam powered Poké Ball?
Man I totally get the whole questioning the "taking this thing you made then bolting it down". If I had a replica pokeball you but your ass I'm gonna play around with that and pretend to be a pokemon trainer ahaha. But I'm also an action figure collector that takes my figures out of their boxes, so I'm sure that has something to do with my thought process.
amazing work ... of course ... amazing finishing ... of course ... it just can't be called carpentry when ninety-seven percent of the work was done by a computer ...
I dont remember you saying you orientated your magnets between the pokeball and the Base. Either you did it and not mentioned it or you just got really lucky. it would be a pretty bad base if it repelled the pokeball XD
For future attempts you should look into barrel hinges there like 8mm. I use them when making pen boxes that need a flip lid. Most of then can be pressure fit too, so you dont have to worry about drilling through

All the ladies go wild when I perturb it on a ferrous surface and it snaps towards an upright orientation in an under-damped fashion.
lmao yeah
Fantastic build Winston! =D
Dude, this is next level. Definitely one of my favorite projects of yours.
That is the coolest hinge I've ever seen, it's almost like it was made for making pokeballs
How are you liking the Maker knife btw?
I carry it almost daily. There's a few minor things I'd tweak, and I wouldn't abuse it as much as another knife, but it's still handy and very easy to carry around. I like it's slimness.

@ Shoot me an email or IG DM and let's chat.
my friend tried this in woodworking.
it didn't work.
How much would it cost me if I requested that you make that Pokeball for me? (without the shipping cost, I don't want to share where I live in the comments)
That'll be a great house for the ring when you propose to your gal. Like imagine kneeling and asking her with a pokeball. That'll be awesome.
Definitely the best thing on the internet so far this year!!

Dudeeee that’s so cool. Kinda like the one that’s coming out in the upcoming game Legends of Arceus!!!!
Not a Pokemon fan, I couldn't tell my Magicarps from my Chumbawambas (that's a Pokemon, right?), but damn, this is a sweet project! Started thinking you lost some sanity there with Comic Sans though, but it all came together in the end! Very cool!
😂 honestly, I wouldn't know if chumbawumba wasn't actually a Pokémon. I lost track of all the new ones they kept adding.
🤡
Consider using 1000 - 2000 grit on the wood and finishing with oils instead of that spray-on crap. Game-changing results!
This is the first time I’ve ever left a review on a video. Just wanted to say that the time and effort you put into creating the piece as well as editing the video with your voiceover paid off. I loved watching this entire video and while I don’t have the skills to create the a poke ball like yours, it was fun admiring your process and listening to you explain it step by step. Thank you.
excellent project, but man, that finish kills the wood. Try a oil and wax so the beauty of the wood isn't lost.
this is even more cool after the Pokémon legends announcement.
This is amazing. Fantastic job. Your projects never fail to impress. Slow standing clap!!!
This is your coolest project ever, and you’ve made a ton of cool projects over the years. I’m not even a Pokémon fan but there are so many cool techniques in this project that I want to make one.
Actually in Pokemon legends Arceus the pokeballs was make in wood
You predict that
Bro this is ABSURD. I love it so much. 100% want one. I’m customizing a pokeball tin right now and came here for insight on the hinges.
Nicely executed!!
The whole project looks amazing. The bonus that it looks like a real pokeball on metal is so awesome! Well done, what a great gift 👍
Now for an apricorn ball

Do you have handcrafts giveaway for your subscribers? I love this handcraft Pokeball so much.
Totally amazed by this project! Even thinking that optimal or critical damping would detract from the piece, incredible!
Was the Padauk naturally more brown than most examples I've seen or did the camera not quite get the right color match?
Seeing that sphere open and close is so satisfying
And if you throw it hard enough you can just defeat your rival trainer with its sheer mass alone.
probably explained this in one of the older uploads, but how do you line up the object to start milling the dome without using dowels?
MAKE A LOTTT, Selll man, just sell those, big money there
How do you charge it? A pokeball need to be charged before capturing pokemon.
I like the concept of this project, and was wonder can you make one that a cat can sleep in it. If so how much would that be ?
what kind of hinge is that? I'm thinking of using one like that for a project of mine
You should do the old new pokeball from the game coming out next year.
Yep, I just subscribed to patreon.. Thanks!!
How much would you charge to make another pokeball?
Dude, awesome!
Aw yeah, the loack of outside hinges is the good stuff! :D
Thats awesome, would LOVE one lol. Ever try and do a Titanic box that splits to reveal a compartment? That would be cool.
Fusion is like a more ingenneery Sketchup?
Steve,
I choose you, always ❤️©
Just do it agian perfectly and send it to me.. = )
Is this available for buying?
Isn’t this the ball celebi was inside of? Lol
This so cool! The vacuum hold down is a great idea
But how much you charged?
Что за херню я посмотрел?
Are the stls for this available somewhere?
It would be a cool way to propose to a Nerd girl!
Can we buy this somewhere .?
please tell me the name of the intro music
You can put your weed in there!
11:27 you choose the Wrong Font, so no i won´t.
try making a Tachikoma now...
Why not use a red-ish wood?
Harold wants to know your location
And you can put your Weed in there
are you making more to sell?

You could hide your weed in there
"cartoons" its called anime
How can i get one of these?
Hipster Pokeball
How much for one of my own?

Somehow I will try too!
Now i'm doing a touch probe. (you can see it on instagram) It's a very useful tool for a cnc machine.

gonna catch that girl!!

Nice video! Awesome design elements - hidden hinge, magnet plugs. Mahalo for sharing! : )
That is amazing. So much work.
You have the files. You can do it again. 🤣
It looks fantastic your friends must have been ecstatic with it
i loooooooooove when the ball shaking around and it really feels like you just catch a pokemon suceesfully!!
Awesome Build!!
Create Master Ball?

computer don't design for you
call it what you like but don't discount the basic skillset required!
the forrest ball
Really nice job and finished product...now if only I knew what a Poké Ball was....not a clue....and I'm ok with that.
I think they're used to capture Pokemon.
Mr.gantetu!?
Is there any chance that you have a shop where i can buy something like that at??
So beautiful 😍
I dont remember you saying you orientated your magnets between the pokeball and the Base. Either you did it and not mentioned it or you just got really lucky. it would be a pretty bad base if it repelled the pokeball XD
A cool gift !!
For future attempts you should look into barrel hinges there like 8mm. I use them when making pen boxes that need a flip lid. Most of then can be pressure fit too, so you dont have to worry about drilling through
nice comercial
