  • D.I.Y Japanese Mirror Tin Foil Ball Challenge! (AKA the best thing to do during lockdown to waste a bunch of time)
    Yes I know I'm late to this challenge... around 3 years late. But better late than never right?
    But I was sitting around bored out of my mind because where I live is currently in a lockdown then I remembered this challenge!
    When the challenge was relevant and everyone was making videos about it, this was actually something that I really wanted to try but never got around to it... until today!
    Hope you enjoyed the video! If you did make sure to subscribe and come back for the next one! Yeeewww!

    i think there are two reasons the actual Japanese can hammer their balls into shiny masterpieces. 1. their tools, and surfaces, are cleaned and disinfected to the highest of Japanese standards. 2. slick editing.

    I used to make these at school using the foil from my lunch, before I was even aware that others did this in Japan. I didn't have a hammer, so I'd use my foot to squash it into shape, then rub it on a smooth surface to polish it a bit.

    You did an absolutely outstanding job on the aluminum foil ball! I give you my respect, and you should give yourself full esteem as well! 😁
