Last year i was trying to make one as a present for my brother and was going crazy trying to find a bladder till i gave up. I feel so much better hearing your part on that.
I love this Jon!!! You inspired me almost two years back to make my first ball, and then 5 more. I love watching your creations come to life and am so excited to see your kit come to life! Absolutely wonderful video my friend ❤
I’m 3 balls in thanks to your original how to make a ball video. I’ve been pouring over your shorts admiring the intricate designs but never knew how to translate those to the laser cutter. Thank you so much for sharing those templates on Ballmakers Guild. I will definitely be checking that out!!
Handy tip that I've found when making seams like this on hats. If you're using the recommended thickness or leather, you'll want about 3.5* the length of the seam you're stitching, plus a bit extra for tails and needle length.
I really want to do this now. I live in the same city as you as well. I’d be interested to see how you go about making the custom design balls in person if you ever feel like showing someone! I’ll be ordering one of your kits in the near future. Thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks, Jon. This is a great video tutorial for ball making, and has a lot more info than the previous one. I've just ordered the dies and a press, so I'll be making balls on the regular. Just snagged one of your Make A Ball kits too since I'll be waiting on the dies to arrive, lol!
Made two so far. The first one had a problem with the bladder getting glued correctly. When i pumped it up, the vavle stem dissappered. I guess the glue migrated off of the pael where i had put the hole for the vavle stem. When i made my second ball, i glued the the bladded to the panel before starting any stiching. (Blue painters tape protected the edges of the panel and careful stiching worked) my second ball turned out wonderful.
Question: in another great video by you I’ve seen your attempt at a ‘single panel’ ball. And you mentioned it is one of those holy grail things that nobody managed yet. Can you elaborate a little? Why is it such a challenge? If the panel doesn’t have to be economically viable then it somehow seems it shouldn’t be too hard to achieve (famous last words). Please enlighten me a little bit. Great content! Love the artistry and vibe of all of these videos.
Thank you for making this video and a kit I love watching your videos on making all kinds of cool patterned balls and I’ve wanted to try but never thought I could but thanks to you I might do so
It only took 3 weeks for youtube to show me that you dropped a new vid (my notifications got changed from "all" to normal?) But thank goodness it showed ❤ your videos are so relaxing and now that Ive a bit more time off work I might finally start sitting down and making some balls ❤
Hey man great business proposal. You should sell the kits to do this like the crochet kits "Woobles" but for soccer balls like these and do drop like for the watermelon one and all the other ones. and then just add a QR code for this video
After purchasing this kit I see it's a nylon backing that feels a little spongy, so I'm guessing there is foam between. I will say this is giving me super clean stitch lines.
I was very excited to do this as a personal project, only to find out your kit is sold out but is also £240, which seems overpriced, despite the quality of materials. I think it would be great if you could talk about different materials that would make a good ball in detail in a separate video. Anyways, I love your content, I really love the creativity you can impart on a football, keep up the great work
Why not try to make a constellation ball? Like the panels could be black and then idk how you would put the starts on it. Simple design then just add the stars
thank you ball man
💯
@@GOTlilthings Unironically I became the 100th like to the OG comment
I literally searched football maker guy to find him lol. I've been enjoying his shorts for a while and was in the mood for a full video
Jon Paul could be selfish and keep this knowledge and these tools and practices and designs to himself but he chooses to share with us.
Pure class.
I thought about this yesterday, what a gentleman he is.

He never comments on what thickness leather he uses. Any suggestions on that or any other leather related specifics?
@@philhoeck557 he did, all of his patters are created for panels with a thickness of 1,2-1,5mm (it's at 4:20 in the video (btw I'am not trolling))
@@philhoeck557 4:21 he says the recipes are made with 1.2-1.5 mm thickness though I may have misunderstood
he actually mentions it in the video 😘
Damn your so serious at making balls
While I haven't actually made a ball, your videos did help me get into leather working, and I have a nice bag and a cool suitcase now

What thickness are you using for the leather? Just the leather or do you have a backing material?
Ive NEEDED this video
same
How is this comment 11 days old but he uploaded it 9 hours ago according to my phone?
@@Starkesea yeah wtf
@@Starkeseaprobably gives early access to members on his website

Hey Jon , I just wanted to say that you are my favourite channel on the internet right now. Thank you and keep making these amazing balls 🫂
Can you try to make a Quaffle from Harry Potter? Would love to see how you work that out!
Same
My thinking is some thick foam to create the dimples in the side.
Let’s goooooo. You finally plaster in here again. Already bought it. It will be my 3rd ball!!!!!
As an American football player I would love to see you make an American football. I am a St. Louis soccer fan

I’ve wanted this video since you first started and even better, you have a kit now!!
I'm so excited for my kit to come in!
Have you started? I need the foam, but I think I’m gonna go at it without.
You inspired me to start a hobby.
Looking forward to getting started once my kit comes in
I love legos and building stuff. Haven’t done much stitching but this looks like it could be a fun weekend.
Ayeee, kits finally came in!

You sir are a true craftsman - what an excellent skill to have!
I’m gonna try this next weekend, thank you so much!
How about making a Dodecahedron Ball. I have a CAD model if you need a pattern.
Thank you for making this video and a kit I love watching your videos on making all kinds of cool patterned balls and I’ve wanted to try but never thought I could but thanks to you I might do so
This is so cool and such a unique craft to be doing !!!!
Can you make a short on how to properly go about laser cutting the leather panels?? And configuring all that?
I just bought your ball bladders!
I just finished my first flower. Only a million more panels to go haha.
Thanks for making this.
I got 2 of them! They came standard equipment too!
Dude, I dunno Why I think this .
but you speak the most elegant English. Like what hack , it's so wholesome yet professional.
😆But I like it.
I would love to see a Volleyball (just one time(Please)) 🥺
Thanks for sharing!
Damn dude. Crushing it as always!
It only took 3 weeks for youtube to show me that you dropped a new vid (my notifications got changed from "all" to normal?) But thank goodness it showed ❤ your videos are so relaxing and now that Ive a bit more time off work I might finally start sitting down and making some balls ❤
I’m saving this for a future project! Thanks.
Btw, I think a Jack Skellington head ball would a fun Halloween ball to see!
So is this an updated version of your previous how to make a ball video? I just watched that one the other day so this is some amusing deja vu haha
thank you
this would be fun to try
Amazing
I’m super excited to try this at some point
Did you stop melting the ends of the thread?, what's the reason?
I want to do this but where can l find Ur website and what's the best material for a ball that is cheap?
I'd love to make my own basketballs.
i love your videos just started watching your videos i saw one on a short and loved it I was wishing you had a shop were you sell your balls
I will never forget the day i subscribed to sir jon pauls balls
Great video
Hey man great business proposal. You should sell the kits to do this like the crochet kits "Woobles" but for soccer balls like these and do drop like for the watermelon one and all the other ones. and then just add a QR code for this video
What software do you use to make the patterns?
This UA-camr is so passionate about handmade soccer balls, he should go to Sialkot, 🇵🇰Pakistan one day to make a UA-cam documentary for everyone.
Nice balls bro
أنا لا أصنع كرات لاكن استمتعت بفيديو
I challenge you to make a Hilbert Curve ball!!! @jonpaulsballs
What's a good material that I could use instead of leather?
Well-I’ll need at least two first to even try but… I appreciate the tutorial.
you should make the kicker ball
I was so excited to get my kit but it's straight up impossible to stitch without the thread falling off the needle
Balls...
I suppose there really IS a channel for everything.
I make 32 panel footbags. Just like a small soccer ball made from fabric. I should really do a video of me trying to make one of yours.
OR maybe you should try making a footbag?
I'd love to see both of these :3
@@a.lollipop I’m down to trade kits
What is the white on the back of the leather and what is the black in between them 9:34
After purchasing this kit I see it's a nylon backing that feels a little spongy, so I'm guessing there is foam between. I will say this is giving me super clean stitch lines.
do you think i could make a volleyball using this type of ball construction?
HES BAAAAAAAACK
Could you make a tutorial for a 12 panel ball
He said the same principles would apply if you go on the ball makers guild it has the patterns for a 12 panel ball
@ oh ok thanks 🙏
Is there are program to use to make more complex ball pattern, or is it mostly just a good knowledge of geometry?
Just finished making my 30th volleyball

IK what i want for xmas now
ty
I build geodesic domes and covering them is a pain in the neck. Any advice on covering large domes with 2D materials?
Will your 1 panel ball join the ballmakersguild at some point? :)
Imagine as you were pumping it up at the end it just exploded 💀
How do you get your different leather dies for your different projects?
The great ball man
does putting foam on the ball make it better?
@jonpaulsballs my only question: what thickness leather do you use and why the backing material for the leather as well instead of just the leather?
Damn, imagine that flex on your friends when they ask you where did you get that ball
What is the 3rd white layer on the panels? Did I miss something?
The ball at 2:32 really caught my eye, whats the story on that ball…thanks for reading.
3:32
Dam it… 3:42
اريد مقاس الشكل الخماسي ومقاس الشكل السداسي

Hello there
At 03:30, is this a Grimsmo Rask in the top left?
When was the last time a standard 32 panel ball was used in a professional match
just a question how do u make them so light because when i made one it was quite heavy
What website can I get leather from
Thanks man my mate Adolf would have loved this info after the incident
I just had a crazy idea. A ball made of panels shaped like leaves in fall colors
Make some footballs to F2 freestylers
Can you make the final boss of Face Raiders from the 3DS
You should make a American football
Can you make a basketball football
There was supposed to be a link to the foam…did I overlook it
It is on the ball makers guild under tools
It's just regular 2mm EVA foam.
@@andrewparamonoff and what's the white stuff inside, the third layer? I don't think it's mentioned in the video
No this will be my third
You ever make a ball with just one panel?
Ball idea: Use a peeled potato, kinda like the orange
Double or even triple peanut 🥜 ball?
Does anybody know how to make custom leather cutting dies? I’ve been wondering. There so much money and I would like to make my own.
Might have to do this for my partner when we get married lmfao (he is always talking about balls, it’s an inside joke)
