Can you turn GOLF BALLS into a ....???

- In this wood turning or should say resin turning video, I will attempt to turn golf balls into a cool project. Was not too sure what to make out of them but during making the project I decided to make epoxy resin hybrid night lamp as the balls looked really cool and vibrant colours. I should have sanded the balls as the resin could not bond very well therefore I did not want to make the wall very thin.

Have you ever wood turned something and a large chunk of wood or epoxy come loose?
Hi....what is the name of this turning machine? Any specific name for this lathe?
@@pradeepmurugesan3416 it is an axminster at406 woodturning lathe
4:22 - Cheater ;) j/k
Had not seen something uglier since the 60s or the 70s, sorry.
That actually turned out good. Also pretty cool seeing that each golf ball has a different colored core.
Amazed this worked so well, considering what golf balls have inside! Your patience and creativity are admirable.
Golf balls have so many fillings, he’s lucky he didn’t get the ones that have actual hoop inside
@@Hershewed Yeah, the golf balls when I was a kid had a soft, liquid filled ball in the centre, wrapped in elastic, and then the hard cover. I was expecting crap to go everywhere. LOL
What a gift for a golfer
It used to be rubber band stuff I was expecting an explosion.
That’s definitely on “par” with a Lava Lamp in terms of beauty & creativity.👍🏼
Thank you 😀
Agreed
Completely agree
ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ba dum tissssssssssssss
Ahhhhh, i see what you did there
When seeing the beginning of the video, I didn't expect such a beautiful thing to be turned out. Very impressive. These balls have different colours inside? Who knew?!
Thank you very much!
Any golfer that’s ever walked a course knows they’re all different on the inside. Thanks to Mr. Lawn Mower!
That was the first thing i thougt, didn't now that they are different like this in the core👍😅
@Rickshields knew
@@shelleywhite5229 various balls have multiple layers, hard/soft distance/control ect. Some materials inside top balls are proprietary and top secret, not cheating by any means but there is some balls that are illegal ie:cheating in tournaments.
I was imagining this as a mug, then u flipped it over and threw me off lol. wish I had the lathe and knowledge to do this, so many ideas so little $$
I'm not gonna lie, I was a bit sceptical at first. But it turned out really amazing, very neat! Great idea and great execution!
Glad you liked it!
Who would have thought golfballs could look so awesome. Love it 😍
Thank you very much!
My thoughts too! Now I want one!
This surprises me. From what I know of golf ball construction, this shouldn't be possible.
I guess they must be made differently today from when I was a kid.
I remember them having a sort of spongy 'honeycomb' interior.
Yeah some used to have a core of wound rubber bands.
@@deadmagenta7042 Yes, that's exactly what I found. IIRC, the rubber bands surrounded a hard rubber core which was itself hollow and liquid-filled.
Yeah I expected them to explode from the pressure release. Lol
Gorgeous! I love it. Great gift for a golf fanatic!
Hello how are you doing?
Very cool. I was thinking it would be very weird if you used golf balls with the old style of construction. In the 1950s, most golf balls were made with a liquid center wrapped in thousands of feet of rubber bands. Those old-style balls were likely not turn-able.
That was my exact thought. If the rubber decided to eject itself into the blade it could get exciting pretty quickly. I've seen more modern golf balls that the inner core would ooze out like a snake as well. Hopefully that is just a beautiful lamp and not a time b_ _ b.
WOW...the 70's hooks up with the 20's and a funky colorful lamp was conceived and born! Far Out man!!!
Never thought, that golfballs are so wonderful coloured inside 😲
The ultimate golfer's gift!
Well done, sir!
Man, you could make a killing at the majors with something like this.
Very cool and an excellent gift for any golfer! Thanks!!!
Thanks so much 😀
They obviously make golf balls differently than when I was a lad. they used to be full of elastic bands with a liquid rubber center. I don't think this would have worked as well with that! :)
I came here to say the same thing. Also I remember the very center having a small rubber ball filled with A liquid
love the different color inside the balls, very cool effect
Thank you 😀
artistic natch...
What I find most interesting about these "Encase Twinkies, nails, pull tabs or macaroni and cheese in resin and turn it on the lathe" videos is the accuracy of mixing the proper amount of resin.
Okay for the golf enthusiast that is actually pretty cool.
Turned out great...love the colors under the light.
One golf ball to his buddies:
"Hey, it this might hurt a bit right now, but isn't way cooler then spending the rest of our lives at the bottom of a pond on the back 9?!!"
Plus, love how the last few images look like a pair of sunglasses with a red nose!!! 😎
Gotta be honest, from the start had no idea where you were heading with this, but the end result was impressive!👍👏
В очередной раз поражаюсь Вашему мастерству. Браво!👍👍👍🤜🤛💪😁
Wow that's clever.
An ideal gift for a golfer that has everything.
I enjoyed watching the video thank you.
Much respect from the San Francisco Bay Area
Thank you 😀
Always admire the creativity. I showed this to coworker whose an avid golfer, and interestingly, he was much more interested in the piece when it first came out of the mold, complete golf balls suspended in resin.
I learned the hard way to never, never get around lathes and mills with gloves on. Other than that, neat idea.
I had a co-worker who ran the same lathe as me, only on first shift, who always wore gloves at work. I came in one day, and he wasn't there. Our boss came around and asked me to keep an eye open for any loose fingers. My co-worker lost four of them earlier that day. That was over 40 years ago......
Ive seen an aweful vid of a guy getting sucked into a lathe hes turning pipe on, it turned him into chunks man so bad. Dont wear long sleevs/gloves or have long hair around lathes!!
I always work on our machines in cotton t-shirt , i dont wear glowes , any jewelery ( not even a weding ring) always in protective glasses. Its very dangerous work- and its getting more dangerous with time as you get used to it, get more confidence work faster to earn more etc.
Never wear gloves around most tools is what I learned early. Especially anything rotary.
@@pmbbmp Yeah, for a very long time now.
That is a golfers dream piece. I want one.
Got a very cool retro look about it... definitely wasnt expecting the balls to look that on the inside. Great job!
Thanks!
Even better than I imagined!
When I was a kid I cut open a golf ball and the center had rubber bands around the core. I guess that is not the case any more. This looks amazing, it would be cool to see different color LEDs in the center.
Yeah they started switching over in the 90's iirc
I'm old enough to have carved open the rubber band style balls....some had a liquid center ...I sure made a mess cutting into that...lol🔥🔥🔥😎
Golf ball lamp? I'm all FORE it.
Looks great David!!
The inside looks a lot different that the last time I took one apart lol I thought there was going to be rubber band strands everywhere hahaha
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thanks 👍 It was one or two with rubber bands but cut the lamp short as it did stay in one piece
@@DavidsWoodturning You are welcome buddy
@@DavidsWoodturning I've pulled golf ball apart before and was wondering if they were the ones with rubber bands. Then when you turned them I saw they were the solid core type. I wish you would have shown the rubber band balls and what happened when you turned into them.
@@ghosthand8119 All modern golf balls are unfortunately solid core; the old-school wound types went away around the turn of the millennium with the advent of multi-layer golf balls like the Titleist ProV1. If any company still makes wound core golf balls, they are likely for novelty reasons and are probably *very* expensive.
I was big into golf as a kid. Growing up a few doors away from a well known course and caddying there all the time. I’ve chopped loads of balls up. I remember some had a strange sack of oil type fluid at the centre.
That looks so cool! And the golf balls kind of look like the layers of jawbreakers. Great work!
I LOVE THAT LAMP..
Nice! Up until the end i had no idea what the finished product would be, lol.
hi David, I am Diane I really seeing you do this unique golf ball vase,
I really like that you put another layer of epoxy on it once you got the basic shape. I've always wondered why people don't do this or, at least, they don't show it.
Thanks so much 😀
I just love this. My late dad was a golfer and never found a golf ball that he brought home. After he passed away, i donated at least 50 boxes of new balls to charities for gift bags at tournaments. However, I still have about 300 lose golf balls. At hone point i had them displayed in a HUGE glass ikea vase, but would really love to find another way to create a memory for my family. If i were rich - they'd all have one of these~!
Hello how are you doing?
I donno what I was expecting but. I mean sure, golf lamp. Looks great my guy
Glad to see someone had the BALLS to do this 🤣😂🤣
Always a pleasure watching you do your magic on wood & resin
This is amazballs!! No pun intended!!🥰🥰👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much!
Very creative! I didn’t know golf balls were different colors inside. I thought they all had black rubber centers and this was going to be a mess at the end.
Thank you :)
This would be an awesome gift for someone like my dad. Impossible to buy him something he needs so gotta find something he would want but does have
Oh wow it’s beautiful
Are golf balls made differently now than they used to? I remember as a kid opening up golf balls just to watch them go crazy with the rubberband-like innards unwinding. This turned out a lot cooler than I thought it would.
yes they are made differently now. its not 1800 anymore
They also had a liquid (or sometimes a steel) core back in the day..
@@garyburton7947 Actually they used the rubber band type ball up until 2001.
Now thats a nice lamp
That was awesome I really like that I made a gopher would really love it
Oops golfer
Thank you 🙂
FORE! lol....seriously, it might be a great concept for a Golf Trophy of some kind. Cheers, Dave
Thanks so much 😀
That is so cool!!! Very creative!
One full of slices would be perfect for my dad for Father’s Day
Много оригинално ! Ето какви невероятно красиви неща могат да се получат, когато имаш идея.
I can't believe it worked, I thought for sure air pockets and breakdown would have happened, this is cool. If you had sanded first, I think you would have lost the whole effect of the actual golf ball itself. I think the thicker wall worked good.
thank you :)
Unbelievable how beautiful ❤
Wow! That is awesome.
You have a wonderful gift man.
I was thinking this was going to be a disaster. I kept thinking of when i was younger and i cut open a golf ball and it had rubber band like material as the core. I was sure that was how golf balls were still made. Not a golfer so i was surprised at how the core looked.
Awesome use of the skill and mind ...
That would make a cute little lamp.
I LOVE 💘 IT. THANK YOU.
Thank you! 😊
Resin is fun. Liquid plastic is fun too. My husband makes soft plastic fishing baits. Uses pigments, mica etc and sometimes epoxy resin to make them along with silicone to make molds. Very cool. Love the creativeness! He also has the same drill mixer thing. I would have never known about these products if he hadn’t started making fishing lures lol
Very cool and creative using golf balls! 🙌
Thank you 😀
Super cool!
All those colors... I kinda wanna bite it LOL looks delicious
I would 100% buy this for my Grandfather. Id love a matching Mug/Tumbler to go with it!
Initial turning ( revolutions) was very well balanced !
Your ideas are by far one of the most creative on here. Fantastic piece! 🏌️♂️
Thank you so much 🙂
That is magnificent.
Absolutely amazing you were able to turn golf balls into that lamp. Congrats.
While not interested in wood turning, I am amazed by the guy's vision.
Thank you
This techniques but the end result being a putter would be amazing.
WOW....very nice!!
I halfway expected the balls to come apart when they were carved into. Cool results.
Super Cool
Gorgeous
Super cool!!!
Somehow this lamp looks to me like an egg breakfast gone very badly. I love it!!
How satisfying
Looks so cool. This would've made an awesome beer glass too!
I would love one of these that’s awesome. I’m a golf junkie
Thank you :)
this lamp ist the must have for every golfplayer 😊
Wooooow 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 so creative 👌 never seen such talent 👏 🙌 genius
I'm not easily impressed with the whole resin turning peeps, but this is really cool!
Thank you 😀
You kept me wondering, what's he making, what's he making?
It was worth the wait, that turned out to be very cool.
Very very cool
I remember when golf balls were bound in elastic and at the core was a rubber sack full of liquid. That would be interesting to see.
That's what I was expecting! Looking forward to seeing the carnage that never came.
As a kid we would clear the golf course pond of balls at night, the balls were tightly wound rubber bands to the core, i was expecting the center of this project to be a cluster of spun rubber bands !!! Who knew.
That’s is very cool!
World class Thanks for the upload John
Thank you 😀
David ¡My Congratulations! Nunca, imagine el resultado final. Muy pero muy ingenioso.
This is one of the coolest things I've seen. It's quite beautiful.
Brilliant!
That looks so cool!
Better use of them than what I do to them on Sunday mornings
That is a cool piece. 2 of those would make beautiful candle holders🧐🧐
Thanks
Very cool
That is wicked
It was awesome!
It's cool to see inside of every golf ball.
Fantastic
I want One ☝🏽 I Love It 🥰
Wow, those would be a big hit at flea markets......
“Shutup and take my money!”
This was fascinating to watch.
