Building a Giant Beach Ball with a Central Tube
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- In this video I build a supersize version of an inflatable sprinkler ball or glow stick beach ball. Instead of a small beach ball with a tube down the center to hold a glow stick or a garden hose this ball is a massive 8 feet in diameter with a 27 inch diameter tube down the middle. It could hold on to much larger things.

While I love to describe the many projects I have built, if they inspire you to build something, you do so at your own risk. The glues and solvents I use can be toxic and vinyl is not breathable and can cause suffocation.
Whoever your friend/test subject/occupant is must be the happiest person ever. This is amazing 🤘🙂
Utilizing the ball's original valve to make a ballast chamber like that is quite ingenious!
I bet it gives quite the squeeze as well~
I treat a seam repair in my toys like a surgical level operation and meanwhile for you is just another day in the office, not to mention the insane modification of the ball lol, kudos to you
Dude, you are a genius 👏 🙌 👌 😍
"glow stick" ball lol
Also neat mod :3
I think shosu Amsterdam is watching right now
Glow stick ball 🤔right for glow sticks
Nice I wish I was as good at seam repairs as you are I am never able to properly align em or get it to stay
I think that the glow stick ball may be used for another "stick"
😉
"It could hold on to much larger things." - like inflate it with someone inside it. I would love to try that. May need some help to get out though!
This is awesome!
I like previous vinyl fusig techniques, though I suppose glue is much faster
i love it
😃
Yes it's designed for "glowsticks"
Approved
🤣I'm gonna use this method to make my giant concrete/fiberglass jack-o-lanterns thanks for making this video 🤘🎃👍
The reel test is trying to throw it
Your inflatables idea should encourage a great way to ♻ an inflatable. A lot less would be landfill material. Inflatables cost a lot.
Pretty cool mod - does the glue smell really bad? You wear a mask when using it
I have a respirator for anytime I use a large amount of HH-66 vinyl cement. Or, I work outdoors with a fan blowing across my work area.
Do you still have this ? Also $$$? :-)
Yes, I still have this. I plan on selling it on eBay at some point.
@@HeathDragonwhat’s your eBay username?
I am trying to make my own inflatable chair, what thickness of vinyl would you reccomend? and for the seams do you think it would be better to melt them together or glue them? Thanks for your awsome videos! Any other advice you have would be appreciated as well
Pool toys are typically 0.3 millimeters thick and some heavier duty ones are 0.4. Either should work well. Glueing might be easier for the first time.
