- Making a wooden ball bearing on the lathe, patterned after regular steel ball bearings.

Using my homemade lathe:

I was inspired to play around with making a wooden ball bearing after Peter Collin mae a "sit and spin" with a wood and marble ball bearing for our baby Harriet:
• Building a Sit-n-Spin - Навчання та стиль
You can't imagine how hilarious this video was to someone like myself who spent an entire career working for a company making metal bearings! As I watched the video, I kept thinking that the solution for your inner race problem (you used the correct terminology for the bearing parts) was to make it in two pieces. I think you might be the first person I've ever seen make something on a lathe other than a damn bowl or vase. I'm amazed at what you can do with wood. Entertaining video in more ways than one!
Such an incredibly clever, resourceful guy, a great pleasure to watch you work.
"...especially 'cause the main goal of the bearing is actually to look cool."
Wow, Matthias, this is great. I have watched your videos for years now and finally decided to comment on one. I will be making one of these myself now. Thank you for the wonderful idea and walkthrough.
Your projects are always inspiring. I also love that you expose the iterative approach to design.
the first thing i wondered when i saw this video in my feed was "how is he going to manage the cage?" brilliant solution, as always. up next, planetary gearbox?
a planetary gearbox would be nice
and, as i originally understood, a model of the universe would be nice, too.
1:1? :)
i think matthias could manage to get a working wooden model of the universe into a palm sized wooden sphere.

don't think planetary gearbox would be much of a problem for matthias, after so many gears made (and even a program to help design them) :D
Wow, can't wait to see any experimentation done on this ball bearing

You amaze me every time. Now that is true woodworking when you end up making a wooden ball bearing. Thanks for another great video.
Your work on this video absolutely fascinates me. I am amazed at how you meticulously built a useful and beautiful device out of fairly common materials. I truly appreciate the inspiration. Thank you.
THIS DUDE IS SO TALENTED.

Although impractical the beauty of this project the focus on the end result and the problem solving to achieve it. Love it.
Simplicity and ingenuity. The 2 ingredients to make a genius !!! Congrats !!!!!!
Videos like this are why people that aren't word workers in the slightest are still drawn to Mathias's videos. So many brilliant decisions through this built!
instead of making the center piece out of 2 parts in order to fit all the marbles, how would using steam/boiling water and softening up the pieces work? that would end up with a pretty cool "puzzle" as to how you got all the marbles in.
It would be really cool if you could state the time it took you to build your projects.
Matthias, its just a real joy to watch your videos. You're incredibly creative and talented, and I have learned a lot from you. Thank you!
Your patience, determination and initiative, are a joy to behold, Matthias. I (like many others,) get a tremendous amount of fascinating enjoyment from watching the progress of your projects. I doubt that I will ever try any of them now, at my ripe old age, but still it is fun to learn form you. Ed
Those would be wicked casters.
You know it's a Matthias project when you can't tell where the home-made plywood-built lathe chuck ends and where the home-made plywood-built workpiece begins.
I guess I should paint the chuck!
Matthias Wandel just keep them guessing.
+Matthias Wandel yes, I think a certain shade of green with do the trick
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
He would chuck, he would, as much as he could,
and chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would
if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
;)
My
Matthias this is one of the best ideas you've had recently!
Absolutely COOL! I really liked the jig for drilling holes in the spacers. Genius!
Only one ball bearing was harmed during the making of this video.

Only a few hundred more parts for the wooden car!
now, don't go putting ideas in his hea..........oh, too late XD

windshield wiper motors
nah make it a v12
now he will satiate his curiosity lol
If the SHTF ever comes about, this is one man you would want to learn things from. One stop shop for building mechanical things out of wood that works. Always enjoy watching these inventions of yours Matthias. It's like watching old school come back to life or when it all began with inventions.
It's amazing how you come up with these things and find solutions to everything. Thank you.
The spacer drilling jig was clever .
Hey Matthias that is so cool!
Every week you make something else that blows my mind Matthias.
Can't wait to see the project that uses giant wooden/marble bearings.
Sensei - 'Grasshopper remains in awe of your skill' (bows respectfully)
Next project. wooden Rubix Cube 👍
I second this!
Michiel Drost the first rubiks cube prototype was wooden.
I 3rd it
As long as it is at least a 7x7x7.
Michiel Dros
Sir,
you are a true craftsman. god blessed you with magic hands. Great video
You just broke the limits with that bearing of wood.Keep up the great work
It does look better but it's more efficient with the spacer.
Yes, the glass on glass between the marbles has more friction.
Could do an acrylic cage? looks sweet either way
Matthias Wandel make a giant fidget spinner
hopefully you put that to use!! : )
Son of a gun, what an interesting way to demonstrate how ball bearings are made. As long as it's not run under a load the thing spins freely. Thanks for showing us how to have fun with the wood.
What a creative guy you are. Thanks for sharing all your ideas in engineering!
Nice work Matthias. I always enjoy watching your videos because you come up with creative ways to jig things up for drilling and cutting.
BTW, did you build this bearing for your child to play with? Or was it just a random project to experiment with?
Just an experiment.
You should test it in one your machines.
I second that.... Hook it to a motor and see just how much abuse it can take. :)

🔵 { O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous - ( 2:21 )
🔴 [He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]. ( 2:22 )
🔵 And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful. ( 2:23 )
🔴 But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.( 2:24 )
🔵 And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. ( 2:25 )

I’m not sure which of your videos is my favorite. This one sure is in the top of the list. Very fun and inspiring video.
This is one of my favorite videos of yours. Hope you find a cool use for the bearing.
Any idea what sort of load this bearing will take? It might be cool to see a destructive load test :)
some one notice me later about the results.

Next up: turning wooden spheres to replace the marbles.
That sounds cool but problem is you would have the get them so polished to work as good as marbles. But I like the idea

Wow! I'd love to see that supporting something big going around and around, or in a machine!
You really make things look incredibly easy, love your work!
I like it when you make fun projects..people ask what's the point you can't do anything with..yeah but it's cool...
Actually people have done lots with wooden bearings. That is how ancient carts used to be made. Those bearings were entirely made out of wood.
except that ancients didn't use ball bearings, they used solid bearings which hardly are bearings, especially if you don't use any kind of bearing surface

no they used roller bearings. Not all of them, but some did.

"the main goal of the bearing is to look cool" Now... we're on the same page. It succeeded!

Grazie mille
You all probably dont give a shit but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Mohammed Wilder Instablaster =)
You sure come up with some fantastic working approaches to building your projects.
I do not understand how 1,200 people taking no like for a craft work as creative as this ... Congratulations Matthias ... I liked it, I signed up on your channel and gave my like .... I also liked their tools, as the lathe sander and the circular saw ... gave me a great idea for my home workshop ... thank you for sharing.
Now build 3 more, and a deck, and send it to Braille Skateboarding so they can skate it.

You should spin it up with compressed air to see how fast you can get it to go.

Mattias, you are a genius! I follow all your videos and have built many tools from your plans. Thank you for all your wonderful videos and ideas!
Very nice. Looking forward to seeing what you'll be doing with this.
Very cool conversation piece!
very cool Mathias, is it a demonstration piece, or will it be used in some novel table?
no one of his car wheel bearings went and he made this as a replacement you know he's to tight to buy anything lol
The tighter you are, the more creative.
I love these experiments. They really show what you can achieve if you put your mind to it.
That was a neat experiment. I had never known how these went together.

That's brilliant! Runs pretty smooth, too :D
Make new lathe bearings, ON the lathe? :P
man...that's incredible what you made! I clap my hands !
Tu enfoque personal sobre cómo solucionar los temas siempre me ha gustado; mil gracias por tus aportaciones. Un saludo desde España
I'm still trying to figure out why someone who plays video games has more followers than someone who can make literally anything out of wood. Matthias, I think you could make a great tasting bowl of soup with a lathe and a drill press, out of wood lol (this is not a rhetorical question)
Star Wars is bad ass, More went into making that than all of this mans projects combined, work time, skill involved, imagination, etc. This man is a genius in my book, but what it took to make Star Wars, especially the first three, was on a different level.
I watch Mathias and I have no interest in any wood working of any sort. But its fascinating. And I admit I had a preconceived notion that wood workers were simple people, I've been proven utterly wrong
I couldn't agree more :P
Two reasons: Demand and supply.
People like Matthias can't supply content at the same rate as people playing video games.
And not as many people want to watch it. This is niche content.
There's always that one guy who doesnt understand figurative speech. Of course you are correct, and everyone understands that. NOw explain to me that wooden soup wouldnt taste good.
Really love this. I would be cool to see this in a future project, although I assume this was just an experimental build. Either way, awesome project. :)
Most of these projects go something like this:
I'm making a project, and need to do this part, so I made this assembly to help.
Then I had a problem, so I made this assembly to help.
I was able to use an assembly to do this one part.
I ran into this problem, but then this assembly fixed that.
Once finished, I found a way to make this while thing even more epic, and it only required modifying an assembly.
Seriously, I love this channel. Matthias is a genius and I can only hope to someday be able to make something a fraction as epic as his projects
the ingenuity of this man.. awesome work
"The main goal of the bearing is to look cool." You had me laughing out loud on that one. Thanks.
Do you plan to use this bearing in anything? It would be nice if you use it to make a child's toy trailer :)
Just an experiment
For now. I don´t doubt he´ll be rebuilding a better version of his tracktor soon. Out of wood and marbles
You are some kind of genius, Matthias Wandel. I am so glad I found and subscribed to your channel. Thank you for sharing on UA-cam.
Matthias, you like a mad scientist! I love it! keep up the awesome work!
Did you collaborate with Alain from the woodpecker. You both have similar themed videos today!
just coincidence
I like your video
you have a lot of spare time don't you
so do you for watching and commenting
well, of course. I never said having time on your hands is wrong. We're encouraged to comment aren't we, or am I wrong?
seeing how ball bearings get filled up just half tells me how the front wheel mount of my scooter failed
Congratulations. Imagination, creativity, and excellent skills. My deepest admiration.
Matt you're awesome! I'm always excited when you post a vid. Always a pleasure to watch your works.
I didn't breath when he put his fingers so close to tablesaw.
Why not? The saw isn't going to reach out and bite him! Saws aren't malicious by nature.
Hahaha those are the words I needed my woodwork teacher to tell me in high school. I was always terrified
It's cool, but it's useless as those glass marbles will break too easily
those marbles are tougher than the wood. Ever try to break one?
Matthias Wandel Can you make Video about flycutter... :D
It seems to me that they would almost act like a prince Rupert's drop. Minus the fragile tail.
Will there be a stresstest video on the bearing?
Marbles are also really bouncy. fun fact that isnt very obviously. and certainly stronger than wood
Wish I had your woodworking skills. Fun stuff.
Dude, you amaze me! I love what you do...so fun and out of the box. thank you, keep it up.
I'm so glad you use your vast knowledge for the forces of good and you haven't gone over to the dark side 👍
I'm always impressed by your work - thanks for sharing.
Very cool, Matthias. Thanks for sharing it.
Matt: you are an awesome guy! you could be holed up in the jungles of New Guinea as long as you have power and your tools you can make anything and maybe even become a chief in their village! You rock and thanks for all the projects you are showing all of us. May you be blessed with such a long life so you can share to us your God-given talents!
From mousetraps and wasp suckers to wood over glass ball bearings and a scaffold that doesn't corner well." You're an inspiration! I love it.
Loved this video, always wanted to know how ball bearings worked
Just brilliant!! Opens up a whole new world of opportunity!
You are such a clever and handy guy. Fantastic result.
Brilliant!! Loved watching this come together.
Nicely done! - and only you Matthias can think on this fantastic way to see all in Wooden
Another great video. I really enjoy watching your problem solving. Thanks for sharing.
I liked everything works beautiful works of art. And I'm doing some of your works, despite the lack of equipment. Thank you for your teaching me, some businesses
Paper joints are amazing for lathe work. Glue your workpiece to a sacrificial piece with a paper joint (sacrificial piece, glue, paper, glue workpiece). It turns just fine, very securely. The two pieces come apart very easily with a chisel and a sharp tap from a steel hammer. Then just sand away the paper quickly. Safe, quick, and easy.
Beautiful work yet again Matthias!
Wonderful! You are so creative, and good at solving problems, very well done.
It wouldnt be a friday without a Matthias video :)
I chuckled every time you say "so I made a jig for it."
Holy crap you are a clever man. Thanks again for making my Friday!

Hi Mathias,
Fantastic! You are The Man!
Holds to you from your friend Jucimar - Brazil.
thanks for sharing this matthias! i was thinking of making a lazy susan or something of the sort and trying it out. this will be a great guide for me!
If there were a Nobel Prize for woodworking, Matthias Wandel would be the hands down winner!
Matthias, Even though I saw all of this series as you originally produced them, I had to binge watch them again!!
Great content! You mentioned perhaps someday building a drill press when you got the drill chuck. I’ll go look.
Who downvotes this? Learning from doing it, or watching it done, is reason enough to make a wooden bearing. It doesn't have to be "better" than a steel one.
You have the super hero ability to work really really fast !
