Question: since the end caps are screwed in, could there be an air pocket in the middle of the screw is shorter than the bolt? And would that make the ball imperfectly balanced?
I don’t know too much physics but probably you could have right. Maybe someone more experienced to answer to this question , I will pin the comment here !
I would not worry about the balance as copper (8.96 g/cm³) and steel (7.85g/cm³) have different densities, so it was never going to balance anyway. On the other hand, you could use the air pocket hide a message or something small and valuable.
Instead of restoring something old/broken, I'd love to see you design/make something you've always wanted *from scratch.* Something unique to you from your past, the shop, or life outside the shop-anything you like via: *"I make a new one."* Especially if it involved using items you've restored in past videos. jmo
@@CoolAgainRestorationI appreciate you taking us on this journey with you!!! My father-in-law left me his cane and I recently broke the 8ball on the end of it. I would love your help to recreate it!!!
Yes, it would be interesting to see how well they play. I expect with the hard surface it would be very similar to a resin ball. The weight may affect play (for good players) as the distance would be different for a similar power.
@@CoolAgainRestoration this has me thinking of different materials for each ball and if I can add my opinion to the pool, a tungsten 8 ball would be amazing. SUPER heavy 👀
I love copper, beautiful job! Turning copper on the lathe can really be a pain sometimes, I bet this was a lot of work. But it definitely was worth it! 🙏🏼
I don’t even know what to say at this point! Other than…like…I want one so bad!!!!! Awesome. Brilliant. Amazing. What are you making the pool cue out of??? I’m just speechless. You have officially moved into the artist arena. Also I am so jealous of your tap and die. Just wow. Again I wish you and yours the very best!
Thanks a lot for being here every time , Coby ! And glad you enjoyed so much , I try my best every time! Cheers and hope you are your family are well too 👍
That’s so crazy. The shine/polish is so good at some angles you can’t tell that you are looking at a ball. You just see the ocean and other items. Imagine a game of pool with a whole rack of these. Really beautifully done, very cool.
🤯 That's it! You've blown my mind! ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!! Superior craftsmanship. Impressed BEYOND EVERYTHING!!! Now you need to make the rest so you can shoot some pool/billards.
On thing that distinguishes guys like you and mymechanics from the rest of the pack is: making a tool for a restoration. Amazing job sir, I appreciate your work!
Beautiful work! Had you kept that shank on the end of the ball instead of cutting it off and smoothing for pool, it would make a great gearshift knob for a sports car!
Im a veteran Machinist/Tool and Die Man for the last 30yrs and I had to take the time to tell you….. Fine Job ,Veryyyy…….Fine job! From here looks like you got good calculated and smooth moves. Yessir, fine job FINEJOB
That's the way of mastership... creating a masterpiece!!! Don't play pool... but this ball is a definitly highend highlight.... love it!!! Real good job!!! 👌👍
Holy frig it turned out beautiful 😍🤩 i do wish da copper stood out a bit more but it honestly looks as if it were shiny glass as it is. Well done sir 👏👏👏
I had to take credits to him because it was his idea to make a ball from steel and apart of that , we are friends who talk every day. But for some people who want to say that I steal the idea from him , I had to not agree that, because my decision was to make a ball with different techniques and video making. I saw some other UA-camrs who they made the 8 ball too , practically it is the same way to do it but with different materials . I don’t understand why if you are a craftsman, why don’t choose other ball , or other way to do it 🤯
Took me all weekend to find time to watch this. Copper is my favorite metal. Had no idea it was possible to machine a completely round object. You have all this stuff in your garage at home? Maybe if I had half your talent I would have half your subscribers. Glad to see no task ever puts you _behind the 8 ball._ Stupendous as always, my friend.
My first goal was to identify a different method than MM because I wanted to be different than him and my viewers to see something different than his video 😇 thanks a lot and glad you liked
The “C” shape of the 5 was very challenging. I tried first time on a brass part like a test and was made perfectly from first time. Then I tried on stainless steel and I made mistake , twice 😅 but in the end I reached a good result
Nobody can't do it better !!! This is my favorite, the one man show !!! Bravo tată, iar ai dat recital pe UA-cam, ce-i al tău e pus deoparte !!!👍👌❤️❤️🏆🥇👑🛠🪛⚙️🔩
Diersta just made a billiards table recently. I think it would be amazing if there was a collaboration between a bunch of makers to make the rest of the balls needed to have a full set for billiards and then a game was played using these metal balls on his table. Well maybe he could make a sacrificial table to play on. I don't think a normal table would survive having metal balls used.

probably yeah. The pieces are different shapes and materials so it's highly likely it isn't balanced. Although with that rolling test... maybe not?
Good job! Which one should I make next?
please add other episodes of datsun restoration..
The cue ball from damascus.
Miss you videos too 😭😭😭

@my mechanics deja vu 😅
Perfect. Just skill. No voice. Its everything I ever wanted in a turning video.
Thanks a lot mate 😊
Well that was utterly satisfying. Incredible machining skills, patience, and craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing this :)
Glad you enjoyed it!😊
it was satisfying, wasn't it? that's the word I had in mind, too!
@@CoolAgainRestorationI appreciate you taking us on this journey with you!!! My father-in-law left me his cane and I recently broke the 8ball on the end of it. I would love your help to recreate it!!!
Sweet! ❤
Danke schon brudher 😊
The tool you made for shaping the ball was excellent! Drill a thread in the bottom and you have the mother of all gearshift knobs 😉👍🏻
Thanks a lot mate and glad you enjoyed 😊 that probably is a good idea 👍
Until you go to shift on a hot sunny day!
@@GrayRaceCat I have a metal one in my Mini, so I know the feeling!
Incredible! Beautiful. I would love to see a complete set and then actually playig pool with them.
Great idea! Thanks a lot 😊
Would be difficult to pull off, but I'd love to see that too.
it wouldnt work, they would stop dead as they have no rebound
Maybe not. IF they were all the same size as billard balls, less material. @@Dragon359
Wouldn't the harder materials like stainless steel damage the softer material like copper?
Loved that final transformation from the cylinder into a sphere. Very nicely done!
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed 😊
We need a full set between y’all too.
My mechanics does all the solid balls and you do all the striped balls. That would be absolutely sick pool set
That sound challenging 😈
My man! That is absolutely amazing. The precision is next level.
Your work is exemplary. 🙂
Thank you very much mate 😊
} p DVD dc
oh my god this is more HD than real life :O
Now that two of you have done this, this should be a machinist rite of passage.
How long until we have a full set 👀
😅 I don’t know , maybe sooner 😅

A machinist right of passage should include threading with the lathe, not a die. Lmao.
@@joekruger1857 imagine gatekeeping machining
That's really cool, love it bro 👍👍👍👍
Thanks a lot 👍
You and my mechanic are one of the best mechanics in the world, I congratulate you for getting better every day 👍🏼
Thank you very much for your kind words 😊
😅😊😊😊😊😊
Why in the heck was that so captivating??? I don't know, but it was!!!!
Glad you enjoyed Mark 😊
Beautiful. Not just the finished product but your whole process.
Thank you very much mate 😊
I like the new 15. Nice work with the copper and stainless friend.
Thanks a lot Michael 😊
I love copper, beautiful job! Turning copper on the lathe can really be a pain sometimes, I bet this was a lot of work. But it definitely was worth it! 🙏🏼
Turning copper on the lathe is very challenging every time 😬 thanks a lot my friend and glad you enjoyed 👍😊
@@CoolAgainRestoration Absolutely. But you did the right thing using the sharp Ak A inserts for the copper. Works much better with those

Amazing craftsmanship. Picture-perfect ending. Great video, bro!
Thanks a lot man 😊👍
No problem homie🤘
Number 15: Burger King foot lettuce
Wow, excellent results and best of all this was done "old school" without any CNC.
Yeah , I didn’t wanted to use the CNC because I wanted to give people something nice to see 😇
That was a gorgeous build. Nice to see a peice done from scratch vs a restoration. I love to watch a gifted artist, like you, at work! Kudos!
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed 😊
THE BEST AWESOME AMAZING PERFECT WORK.....😁👌👍
Thanks a lot 😊
It is fun to watch a creator create ❤
Glad you enjoyed 😊
Awesome job!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Now we just need the rest of the balls, a table and some cues!
Thanks a lot and glad you like it so much 😊
🤯 That's it! You've blown my mind! ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!! Superior craftsmanship. Impressed BEYOND EVERYTHING!!!
Now you need to make the rest so you can shoot some pool/billards.
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed so much 😊 cheers mate
Finally someone making something awesome not just restoring
Thanks and glad you liked it 😊
Fantastic engineering skills wish I could do this
Thanks and glad you enjoyed 😊
Once in a while, YT recommends a video actually worth watching. This one appeared just as I was ready to go to sleep.
Thanks a lot for watching and glad you enjoyed 😊
That tool you rigged up to do the domes on either end was so creative 🤯
Thanks and glad you enjoyed 😊
The beauty of a fusion of copper and stainless steel is amazing!
Hello from Japan.
Thank you very much and glad you enjoyed 😊 cheers to Japan 🇯🇵
It was perfect, my friend David. Cheers. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks my friend Alvaro 😊👍
I could watch this all day
Glad you enjoyed 😊
It must feel magical to hold the finish on it was beautiful!😍😍😍😍
Thank you very much 😊
That was awesome. The end result is beautiful. I love how the copper and steel are just so seamless. Well done!
Thanks a lot 😊

Beautiful work! Had you kept that shank on the end of the ball instead of cutting it off and smoothing for pool, it would make a great gearshift knob for a sports car!
A lot of people asked me about transforming that ball into a gear knob 😅
You are an artist. It’s absolutely beautiful.
Thanks a lot mate 😊
Im a veteran Machinist/Tool and Die Man for the last 30yrs and I had to take the time to tell you….. Fine Job ,Veryyyy…….Fine job!
From here looks like you got good calculated and smooth moves.
Yessir, fine job FINEJOB
Thank you very much sir , wish you all the best 😊
I'm particularly impressed with the engraving. That was some smart setup. Work smarter, not harder.
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed 😊
Ok, you have outdone yourself again here my friend. Outstanding job.
Thanks a lot my friend 😊
I want one so bad, the copper and stainless look supper nice and the polish is so good
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed 😊
Very nice! Can't even tell it's threaded together, I wouldn't have known if I didn't watch this amazing video!
Thanks and glad you enjoyed 😊
Why is metal turning so satisfying to watch? Beautiful
Thanks a lot , I don’t know why but it is my satisfying process too 😊
15 is R.Kelly's favorite number too.
How do you know ? 😅
Excellent Work !! I'm Excited For Your Upcoming Works
Thank You very much 😊 wish you all the best
There was way more to making then then I thought. ❤ great job
Yeah , actually exist another way that was unseen on UA-cam . Probably I will make another video in the near future 😇
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! this video was throughly enjoyable the whole way through please consider making a full series!
I already considered that 😅 thanks a lot
That's the way of mastership... creating a masterpiece!!!
Don't play pool... but this ball is a definitly highend highlight.... love it!!!
Real good job!!! 👌👍
Thank you very much Ralph , glad you enjoyed 😊
There is something mistic about this ball near the ocean... can't put my finger on it... looks incredible!
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed 😊
Holy frig it turned out beautiful 😍🤩 i do wish da copper stood out a bit more but it honestly looks as if it were shiny glass as it is. Well done sir 👏👏👏
Thank you very much Sir 😊
You and my mechanics! Simply the best!
Glad to hear that 😊 thanks a lot
That's so cool! Imagine playing pool with all 15 balls made like that!
We have 8 and 15 , we need to rest of all 😅
Very COOL! It turned out absolutely beautiful. Thank you, it was fun to watch you make it.
Thanks and glad you enjoyed 😊
Wow! I didn't know you could lathe metals, especial stainless steel!! SO COOL!!
Outstanding work. The ball looked translucent in the high gloss test segment. Im impressed. 👍
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed so much 😊
Love making handles / knobs out of pool balls
Awesome work 🎉
Ce monsieur est un tourneur de haute volée !!! 👍👍👍
Merci beaucoup 😊👍
im glad i passed the test i definitely didn't study
You know that thing when you watch a video and it's so satisfying you have to watch it at least 3 more times.........yeah that 👍🏼
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed so much 😊
@@CoolAgainRestoration 🫶🏼
Man, it's beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Great work.
Thanks a lot Josh 😊
Absolutely amazing, astonishing! This man is an Artist!

Amazing !!
Thanks a lot 😊
I really hope you make the whole set! I wanna see what a game of pool would look and sound like!! Amazing!
Thanks a lot and that are a great idea 💡😊
@@CoolAgainRestoration heck yeah I’ll be waiting to see it. Do a series of videos. I’m sure people will love it
That was just delightful. Awesome job and perfect end product. Well done
Thanks a lot mate 😊
Awesome. It takes a lot of work to make so little, but it's fun doing it. Love the 15 logo, like going to the Pennsylvania lottery, or power ball🎱
Many thanks Steve and glad you enjoyed so much 😊
Отличная работа! Спасибо за видео!
Thanks a lot and glad You enjoyed 😊👍
One of the best video’s I’ve seen in a long time! Wow just wow. Beautiful work my man wow
Thanks a lot man 😊 cheers
Wow ! - That is truly some machinig expertise - 100 *s. Attaboy there !
Thanks a lot 😊
Seeing that ball spin at the end was amazing
Glad you like it 😊 thanks

The blue color on that stainless steel ❤
Not your typical work but I thought this was a fantastic video! Always fun to see an expert at work.

Gear shift knobs for $$$.
The copper is so well polished its hard to discern from the stainless.
It must have taken quite a bit of time.
Excellent!!!
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed 😊
Cool to see how the ball was made! 💪🏼
Thanks and glad you like it 😊
If you ever wondered…here’s how…amazing! Total professional
Thanks a lot 😊
Affascinante....mi piace un sacco ...vedere macchine utensili al lavoro....e che realizzano idee fantastiche....bravissimo😊😊😊

Well Done...!!! That takes excellent and professional craftsmen ship...!!!
