Shiny Graphite Ball made from Clay and Graphite (Dorodango)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- A step by step how-to on creating a dorodango with a graphite mirror finish. Compressing a very thin layer of graphite makes it get very reflective. And upon testing, found it had higher conductivity than uncompressed graphite powder, maybe kind of like graphene.
Shout out to my friend, Mike Room, for inspiring this idea.

If you want to know more about dorodangos, here's a link

------- Materials: ------
You can get clay at your local ceramic supply, or you can process it yourself from dirt. Here's also a link to some facial clay that should do the job -

You can get sand from your local sand and gravel yard, hardware store, wash, or nearest sandbox.
Marble powder or marble dust really helps the process, you can sometimes find it at your local hardware store, but here's a link -
amzn.to/2ZVmhqF
Pure graphite powder is readily available at the local hardware store, you want to make sure it's extra fine and pure graphite.
here's the link to the one I've been using -

I think dorodangos are the definition of "trust the process". Cool video !
Dorodangos are made of mud. Thats the entire purpose

You mean prime example

I bet it feels amazing. So smooth and slightly cool to the touch.
gam mal Hi, I'm the other person who helps make these videos. The ball actually doesn't stain anything. The graphite is highly compressed from the glass jar, so it doesn't rub off at all. And yep, it is slightly cool to the touch!
God dam it now ur just making me want to make this even more
Fire it in a kiln?
I want to put it in my underwear,,,,,,.
In addition to being such a visually striking craft, I get the impression that your work is very meditative; that is, it allows for long moments of thought with just you and the task at hand and little else.
Incredible transformation from irregular clay mud ball to nearly perfectly spherical mirror reflecting the known universe... and that drone footage!!!
Thank you, what are you doing up at this time?
Hope to get to see you soon as well
lol
If anyone ever tries to tell me "you can't make dirt look nice", I'm going to pull up your videos and make them watch them. Dude, you have crazy skills. Love these videos.
That 360 shot was incredible!
Hey this is a really wonderful video, but consider wearing a mask while mixing that much dry clay and graphite! Don't want to catch a lung of any of that stuff, and its easy to avoid.

@@devinm.2398 I know when there are safety sallies that need to be told to shut up.
Rj Peterson said beautifully.
@@JackSilver1410 Ah yes because why warn someone about Pneumoconiosis, Silicosis (and other risks) when you can just watch them continue to put themselves in danger all for the sake of 'manliness'.
I could watch you make Dorodango all day. Will you post some more videos showing how you get different colors in the dorodango?

So that one guy was on to something, and as I read that comment, I was imagining how a graphite would look like, then found this video. Amazing! Thanks for sharing
wtf!!! this cake batter recipe tastes like crap!!! 😡🤬
Ralph Kiderchah I know right like wtf I thought this chocolate cinnamon cake pop would taste like chocolates for cinnamon but it just tastes like pencil lead smh some people
Have tried can confirm

I did this with mud one time, making it into a smooth, solid ball, I think my siblings broke it but it was nice while it lasted
I absolutely love watching you create these. It’s amazing and inspiring. I also watched the episode that demonstrates the process of creating a gorgeous earth/clay floor. You guys are appreciated for sharing your talents and knowledge. How lucky to find such elevating vibes while checking out a few how to videos for weekend project. I now have to figure out how I can incorporate a earthen floor somewhere at my house and when I can spend the day dedicated to learning to create the spheres.
I have tried a time or two to make one of these when I was pretty young and during that time I couldn’t find much about them on the internet like how the process goes and how to fix problems you run into but just from watching one of your videos I feel motivated and confident enough to probably try again now that I understand it better just from seeing how you handled it. Great video.
Using graphite made me wonder if you could electroplate it.

You’ve motivated me to get completely into this. It’s awesome!!
I got some sifted sandy soil from the backyard. Got some plain clay cat litter for cheap in a large bag.
Some containers, jars, bowls, spray bottle and a spice grinder too.
I used the grinder for the clay and then a mesh strainer for the dirt.
Found a good ration with water for make the core mix.
Then I’ve taken powdered clay and other stuff I’ve tried for the shell.
This is really fun and relaxing. I like making anything really and glad I found this. Thank you.
3 am watching some random dude rub a shiny ball....best 5 minutes of my life
The way he used the pvc pipe for rounding the clay ball is as simple as genius! Great content
I truly admire the commitment, focus, patience and - above all - skill that it must take to create something so delicate and beautiful. I always enjoy your videos for the educational value they provide, while simultaneously being highly enjoyable to watch.
Thank you.
Thank you! I don't respond to that many comments like this but I should, I just want to say thanks for your support it really helps.
Just imagine the amazing things people used to craft.
63 years old and it has taken me this long to find out about my own culture.
I'm half Japanese - mother's side - born in Tokyo.
Ever since I was little I loved playing in the mud and making mud balls. Drove my mother crazy - drives my husband crazy too.
Now I know why!!
Not enought thumbs for technique. Awesome work dude.
M.C. Escher approves of this ball.
This has to be the best finish/surface of them all. It looks like metal.
I got 4 days of "extra holiday" from my gentle and super kind hearted boss (because i have 25 free days in this year, but because of corona, i have to work every single day since the end of february... and if I don't take off as many free days as possible, our agency have to pay some penalty money for the work-force-office something - i Don't know it's name even in my native tongue). So, because I'm a projekt / sales / costumer / senior office menager - and a general fixer, and mid range IT man, and delivery guy... (sorry, corona make my life colorful... we lost many collegues due the drop of the orders since spring) I work 10-12 hours daily... And our Dojo closed permanently due corona... and generally i never had any free time... so, any, in short words I now watching this mesmerising work of art :D - I'm just minutes to grab the garbage shovel, and raid the nearby playground for material... :D :D :D You make my day! - Dispite me and my girlfriend living in a 38m2 2 room flat, i will try this! -I don't give a f.ck if i make mess! :D :D :D - but i can't guarantee to not fly my work of art into some neighbors forehead :D :D :D
please make and post more videos,i absolutely love them.Love from Pakistan.
At any moment its going to fly around and stick in someones forehead
@@TheDeepDiveLLC havent you ever watched phantasm ? They have little balls like that that fly around stick in peoples head and drain there blood and.brains out

Dead joke. Try better next time
Wow, I never thought about graphite being a mirror before. I always draw with it, this is way more interesting.
More of these!
Pretty please
excellent video! I have a question: how to prevent graphite to come off after finishing? (i.e. not to stain clothes, hand, etc)
He's a professional
@@joecobra48 that's not what he asked
I know that he uses wax on some of his other dorodangos. I wonder if wax would work in this case as well?
legend has it, ever since that point he and that ball went everywhere together, In the fading glow of yesteryear, where memories dance in the twilight of forgotten dreams, we find ourselves lingering upon the fate of two unlikely companions whose destinies intertwined in the tapestry of life.
As the years unfurled their relentless march, the once inseparable duo, the man and his cherished dorodango ball, drifted apart like whispers in the wind.
The man with stars in his eyes and fire in his soul, found himself ensnared by the siren song of life's temptations. He chased shadows of ambition, lost amidst the labyrinth of success and failure. Yet, in his quest for greatness, he stumbled upon the jagged rocks of addiction, shackled by the chains of his own desires. He became a ghost of his former self, haunting the alleyways of despair, his laughter drowned by the echoes of remorse.
And what of the dorodango ball, that humble creation born of earth and patience? Alas, it bore witness to the passing of time with stoic silence, a silent sentinel in a world of chaos. Cast aside, forgotten, it weathered the storms of neglect with quiet dignity, its luster dulled but its spirit unbroken.
In the annals of existence, their tale is but a fleeting moment, a whisper amidst the cacophony of life's symphony. Yet, in that brief encounter, they shared a bond that transcended the boundaries of time and space, a bond that lingered in the hearts of those who dared to remember.
And so, as the curtain falls on this chapter of their journey, we are left to ponder the mysteries of fate and the echoes of what could have been. For in the grand tapestry of life, even the smallest thread can weave the most intricate of patterns, leaving behind a legacy that endures long after the final act has drawn to a close.
oh nice dirt ball btw...
Google graphite dorodango, it sells for like a grand.
It's really hard to see the ball from the drone shot, but I'm glad you still took the effort to capture it from every angle.
Love it. Next dorodango should be an iron powder one.
Pretty cool. It makes me want to order a hematite ball off Amazon.
Geez another hobby 😊 thanks. At least this one is going to be budget friendly.
Sooo beautiful.
I've tried this about a dozen times.. still can't get it to shine like yours. Each try I've learned something... I think I will get it the way I want it to shine now..... I was trying to hard, I will let the ball create itself this time! N9 hurry, it's very peaceful to do now.. take care..💯👌
I like how he spent all this time shooting and editing to basically make a shiny ball of mud
How long do they take to dry? Do they break apart when they are dry?
Thank You
have you tried metalizer powder? when i used to build car models i found some stuff that after buffing came out looking a chrome like gun metal. you could get a big jar for a pretty good price too.
@@ommielett for real cars or model cars? It could possibly work for a real car but you have to seal it.
I tried making a dorodango once and it came out... alright, it's not really the dark arts. But now that I've seen this video.. I do have a pound of bronze powder that's meant for cold casting... Hmmmmmm...
Great work. Looking for a way to make mirrors out of clay and sand.
omg.... your art with this tecnique is something indible.
i'm ufficially in love with your perfect job!
Space is really into your videos.
I love your videos, I work with clay myself (as a wheel thrower). I love your videos from the music selection, the natural sounds of your craft, and just the process in general. But I do have one question: Do you ever worry about clay dust causing silicosis? Because I know this amazing art technique uses clay dust which can cause silicosis.
Other than that I am super interested in this technique and look forward to more awesome videos!
Men who wear Carhartt always do good work.
That is absolutely marbelous 👍
That’s awesome!!! Love what you are doing Neto!!! Love the pictures of the desert. Brings back lovely memories.

Nicely done! You obviously have it down to a fine art. It looks so relaxing making a dorodango.
Ahh so the key to getting it round is to keep adding dry clay and smoothing for as long as it takes. I really like the shiny graphite too.
What a mesmerizing video! Thank you for sharing that beautiful work of art.
your videos are SO good I haven't made a dorodango in a couple years and now I'm going to make another.
Great work, great editing, great soundtrack! 🙌 Thank you💗
Give this man a medal

Amazingly talented you are, God bless you always
I did not appreciate the two ten minute long videos that I was not able to skip prior to being allowed to view the content i actually came here for
Who! Not Cool youtube, thanks for informing us. have you had such long non-skippable ad before? Also what part of the world do you live if you don't mind me asking?
@@TheNitoProject I've just started getting these type of ads the last couple weeks and it's not on all videos but usually when I get notified of a new video (on any channel) and I click to watch it. I live in East Texas near the Shreveport Louisiana border area.
@@TheNitoProject great channel/video though... Loved the content and I'm glad I stuck through the ads
Thank you for this astonishing demonstration! Please comment on no straw used in the clay ball.
I happened to discover your channel today and am super happy. Turning sand and clay into such beautiful things, you are blessed. Creativity, hard work, patience and the ability to create beauty out of the simplest of ingredients, kudos to you. May you be showered with more creativity that gives you even more happiness.

Lovely indeed. Hope you're wearing a mask with all that dust!
Thanks for posting.... the video & final result are wonderful !!
Thank you for sharing. It came out beautiful. I want to make one with graphite 😍 I just made my first one yesterday with Dutch soil... For a first try not bad. Love this art 😍😍😍
Unbelievable!
Amazing job my friend, i admire you!
U r simply awesome ....
Never hav seen such magic ...
Fascinating!! Please share, what was the last thing you used for polishing? Looked like some kind of metal ring? Thanks for posting!!
This was very satisfying. Thank you.
I got COPD just watching this!
Now I want to make one
Excellent! That podcast you did was great!👍
I assume it can easily be scratched and would brake if falls on hard ground. I love all your beautiful techniques.
Making dirt great again!
Please, do it like a wall. It will be beautiful. I'm from Brazil, i like it.
Thank you for recording editing and posting for our. Viewing. .
This was the best one i have ever seen
I'm so interested in making these now! It seems like once you got use to making these it would be so soothing
and this is how a Christmas ball is born
beautiful, with the magic of time, recording etc, how long is the process or did it happen before our eyes, however it makes not difference, its still beautiful, thanks for sharing, making and all the bits in between x
Insanely beautiful
that's amazing! never even thought of that way to make something spherical!
This is cool!
Beautifull, great job, delicate and lovely
Unbelievable! Wow!! 😍

I feel bad, I didn't want to commit the time and resources to make a fancy one with clay, so I actually got bored one night and pulled out some Easysand 20 joint compound and made a ball with a jar like you did in your earlier video. Not nearly as cool, but I was amazed that the proof of concept actually worked.
Wow, thank you so much for showing this!
Amazing. I'm perplexed.
2:40 Nice music while working on the ball.
That's marvelous . So beautiful
U have lovely hands
thats so awesome,beautiful polish
Beautiful work mate.
