Dude, that's genius. Nothing like going back to the basics and understanding the foundations. WHERE all this fancy equipment comes from, is what's important. The basic fundamentals like this really help... It opens your mind to true creation, rather than boring accuracy and efficiency. Something inside you lights up when you see stuff like this. It's hilarious in hindsight, just how amazing simplicity can be. Modern tooled up man is basically an idiot, and the arrogant comments negatively attacking, is just the false pride of people who don't have any depths to themselves, no ability to appreciate and connect. It's sad... this... this is freaking amazing. I am so grateful... Just started to work with wood and fix things, and I so need this. Fancy saws and mechanical things are useless without this kind of fundamental truth. Anyone that can't appreciate it, well, again, that's really sad. Thanks man, you taught me a huge lesson here. I had NO idea how to pull this off at the fundamental level. I would have needed a $1300 lathe to pull it off... because like so many others, I'm not patient and don't like to think ;-) Much appreciated.

+J.G. Gennedy . Thank you for your comment. I have been wondering the same. Over the last couple months it has got quite nasty. Has youtube gone all nasty all of a sudden, or is it just an isolated incident due to the number of views and therefore promotion it has had? Has this video struck a hornets nest in the minds of modern society? After all, it was done quite innocently, in good faith,and for free, to help some puppeteers who were making eyeballs at the time of making it. I have been surprised by the attention it has gained, and sadly been upset at times by how nasty some people can be over a video done for free. Why be abusive towards someone who has offered what they can , for free?... and, you are very welcome. Once again, thanks for commenting.

+Treble Hook . Precisely. I totally agree with you. I know there are many people in your situation and that is why I do things the way I do. The problem is, that if you have internet, you are likely to be in an area of the world where you have all the gadgets that you need, and doing things simpler and rustically is likely to confront and irritate. When you live in a big city with space age gadgetry, it is hard to understand that most people on the planet do not have that gadgetry, and it rocks people's boats. It exposes, which irritates.

I made one instantly. But with an 2 inch pipe and the ball about 3 inches. I work as a teacher in wood working at an elementary school in Sweden. My students where very impressed. A couple of them eager to try. Most of them though, did not see the point in crafting a perfect spherical wooden ball. It's hard to explain the level of satisfaction I feel. Keep up the good work and don't stop breathing. ( I mean he noises, I love them).

First is I tried to buy wooden balls and didn't find any in that size (Yes i live in America and no I was not about to travel to every store or drive too far away Just for some wooden balls) so tried making some I tried a rasp a file sand paper a really sharp knife. But they didn't came out round ( well not perfectly round). To anyone say O just use a rasp well let me tell you it's NOT that easy If you think it is then make some on video and post it. Now I would like to say your way is actually quite good and if anyone with a lick of common sense would know the beauty in that pipe you made the Reason (Mathematics) why the pipe will make round balls. But NO there too busy trying to put some one down who is kind enough to post a video someone who thinks out side the "BOX" I love your videos Keep on keeping on " You can please some of the people some of the time But you can't please ALL of the people all of the time" Don't let the ill minded get you down stay just the way you are man...

***** Doesn't bother me. I'm not paying to have him make me something by eye, nor am I buying something he's made by eye. I'm just killing time watching a free to watch video, that shows the basic concept of how to make a crude wooden sphere without a lathe and ball turning rig. The basic concept of things, and how they can be achieved with the least amount of technology, is something I find rather interesting. For my personal interests, less is more, and simple is best.

@datamobilitygroupllc9 жыл бұрын
I have no idea as to how balls were made historically, apart from lathes or whittling.. I saw a youtube video of a Japanese man once, using a jar and piece of mosquito netting to finish off a lathed ball and I was impressed with the physics of that, a circle on a sphere, and thought I would use the hole saw concept to rasp in a circle, to achieve a sphere, and as I did not have a hole saw, I made the one in the video and found it had some advantages over the commercial hole saws.

actually guys - this is wrong. I did engineering fitters apprenticeship and that's where you learn to file - pressure on the forward stroke, but draw the file backwards slightly rubbing the metal in order to clear out the 'pins' the filings. If you don't do this your file will soon clog up. Also it helps to pre-dress the file with chalk - especially before filing aluminium. Just rub a piece of blackboard chalk on it.

Wow, I really want to make one of these now for no reason at all.
Man, you could make wooden bearings. ;)
Dude, that's genius. Nothing like going back to the basics and understanding the foundations. WHERE all this fancy equipment comes from, is what's important. The basic fundamentals like this really help... It opens your mind to true creation, rather than boring accuracy and efficiency. Something inside you lights up when you see stuff like this. It's hilarious in hindsight, just how amazing simplicity can be. Modern tooled up man is basically an idiot, and the arrogant comments negatively attacking, is just the false pride of people who don't have any depths to themselves, no ability to appreciate and connect. It's sad... this... this is freaking amazing. I am so grateful... Just started to work with wood and fix things, and I so need this. Fancy saws and mechanical things are useless without this kind of fundamental truth. Anyone that can't appreciate it, well, again, that's really sad. Thanks man, you taught me a huge lesson here. I had NO idea how to pull this off at the fundamental level. I would have needed a $1300 lathe to pull it off... because like so many others, I'm not patient and don't like to think ;-) Much appreciated.
Ohhh, so very refreshing, to see someone who 'gets it'. Every phrase you have penned rings true. I should frame them and hang them in my workshop. I wish you every success in all you do. You will go far, you will enjoy going far, but sadly you may increasingly be irritated by people's ignorance. Thank you for your company on this planet. :)
The Stephens Family Stuff HA HA HA HA HA... that is SO awesome.. wow... when someone else gets it (you), it's triply amazing! Bless you guys, that just made my day. You crack me up too... Thanks for the prophetic insight.
Spot on mate! All these comments about wasting time by not using power tools... Straight over their heads!
Well said. You just took those words out of my mouth.
I don't know what's wrong about this and why it has dislikes. Just because he used tools in a different way than what you have been told to use them doesn't make it wrong. I actually liked this video.
I don't know why there's so much hate. Thanks for making this video!
+J.G. Gennedy . Thank you for your comment. I have been wondering the same. Over the last couple months it has got quite nasty. Has youtube gone all nasty all of a sudden, or is it just an isolated incident due to the number of views and therefore promotion it has had? Has this video struck a hornets nest in the minds of modern society? After all, it was done quite innocently, in good faith,and for free, to help some puppeteers who were making eyeballs at the time of making it. I have been surprised by the attention it has gained, and sadly been upset at times by how nasty some people can be over a video done for free. Why be abusive towards someone who has offered what they can , for free?... and, you are very welcome. Once again, thanks for commenting.
+PhilipStephens007 Keep up the good work
+PhilipStephens007 While I have been exceptionally lucky with comments on my videos, KZhead comments in general can be some of the darkest, meanest, most depressing I've found online. I don't know why, but my advice is to not take it personally. I think it has more to do with the person commenting than the video they're commenting on a lot of the time.
+Laynie Fingers . Thanks. :)
+Laynie Fingers Yes, they have an empty life a dead spirit.
Why is there over 1,000 dislikes? This is actually a super helpful video for me because I don't live anywhere near a big hardware store or anything so I have to make my tools. This is perfect for me and people in big cities because you can just buy tools that are similar to this, or give yourself a challenge and make them yourself! Thanks Philip :D
+Treble Hook . Precisely. I totally agree with you. I know there are many people in your situation and that is why I do things the way I do. The problem is, that if you have internet, you are likely to be in an area of the world where you have all the gadgets that you need, and doing things simpler and rustically is likely to confront and irritate. When you live in a big city with space age gadgetry, it is hard to understand that most people on the planet do not have that gadgetry, and it rocks people's boats. It exposes, which irritates.
he said if you don't have lathe machine so he's trying to teach people like me who have none.. very nice and your smart sir!!!
I watched a woordturning video once and now it's all youtube recommends, but i like it. I found it's very relaxing to see people make stuff. This one i enjoyed especially because of the creativity. Very nice, sir.
In a world where, if people need something they just go out and buy it, I respect the effort gone into making this.. Big up!
I made one instantly. But with an 2 inch pipe and the ball about 3 inches. I work as a teacher in wood working at an elementary school in Sweden. My students where very impressed. A couple of them eager to try. Most of them though, did not see the point in crafting a perfect spherical wooden ball. It's hard to explain the level of satisfaction I feel. Keep up the good work and don't stop breathing. ( I mean he noises, I love them).
Wadda brilliant idea--especially the sandpaper in the round hole technique.
I don't know anything about woodworking, but apparently it's so fascinating that I'm just on a... woodwork, watching, spree?
A true artist with skills to pay the bills
It amazes me how creative people can get. Well done, here.
First is I tried to buy wooden balls and didn't find any in that size (Yes i live in America and no I was not about to travel to every store or drive too far away Just for some wooden balls) so tried making some I tried a rasp a file sand paper a really sharp knife. But they didn't came out round ( well not perfectly round). To anyone say O just use a rasp well let me tell you it's NOT that easy If you think it is then make some on video and post it. Now I would like to say your way is actually quite good and if anyone with a lick of common sense would know the beauty in that pipe you made the Reason (Mathematics) why the pipe will make round balls. But NO there too busy trying to put some one down who is kind enough to post a video someone who thinks out side the "BOX" I love your videos Keep on keeping on " You can please some of the people some of the time But you can't please ALL of the people all of the time" Don't let the ill minded get you down stay just the way you are man...
Good job. You are a patient man that obviously loves to work with your hands. I also admire your restraint in comments to the 'haters'
I really enjoyed watching this
So pleased there are guys like you in the world, Phil. That was great!
Impressive! And the answer to people asking "why not buy them cheap instead"? is first of all, -You have missed the whole point. It's about satisfaction of having made something with your own hands!
+Tommy O ...exactly
+Tommy O i'd get satisfaction for building the first one, but then that's it. This is so mundane to do.
+OnlineBackupServices when you take into account the economics of it and time saved in traffic while you go buy a ball, it is actually surprisingly efficient and not so mundane. I made one for a guy a couple weeks ago while he sat and watched. It was that efficient. But yeah, its not for everyone I suppose.
I have zero need for a wooden ball, but I'm going to go make myself one. As you said, there is something therapeutic about creating something for yourself by hand. Great work.
Gracias por ser un buen hombre sano y compartí su sabiduría y traducir ; Esteban de un paisito llamado URUGUAY , GRACIAS BUEN HOMBRE
Thank you for a hard work and good tips!
i'm as interested with your beard as i am with the choice of the music
Love the simplicity and earthiness of the whole video. Getting away from the whole jiffy culture where you just get it over the counter or from a vending machine. Reminds me of the time when i and some mates built my first canoe out of a piece of steel roofing sheet and wooden tomato box end panels with tar filler
As a kid I used to make balls from rocks using two bottles and I played marbles with them ;)
same, i made them from chalk. i discovered this method when i was 8
your voice doesn't match the beard
👍😂
IKR I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT DAT
ikr
about that...lol
odeerg fuck off its a joke
I must say, the man's got balls.
That pun sucked BALLS
I don't know why but watching the ball grinding process is really therapeutic for me.
Why is this recommended for me KZhead? And why do you always have the best recommendations?
Exactly
Awesome beard.
Im 17. Owns a playstayion 4, an ipad and my lovely samsung s5... And i love this!😍
So do you like real men
I was desperately in need of wooden balls. Thank you for making this video.
Brilliant ! just very basic tools and anybody can do it with patience, got to admit i'd never have thought of how to do it. Well done, thanks.
are you trapped in a prison making youtube videos
🐘👈
+JYC422 Nah, just getting bored in New Zealand i guess.
+Giovanni Di Cello ha , I am in Colombia right now.
+JYC422 omg hahaha. I was laughing through this whole video. Have fun making balls! Whatever you have at hand and what works i guess. good job man. I def agree w the prison idea tho lol

theres no need for all those dislikes, brilliant video. its really different
Thank you Eddie.

Eddie ha ha ha
That's a nice video. That hole saw idea really makes it easier to get a round ball. I might give it a try, just for fun. Thanks for sharing!!
Dude, you are like the Neil Buchanan of woodwork
Does the Warden know? ;)
All these negative comments. I actually like videos of bush working/jury rigging. They get across the most important part of the idea, without the 'yeah but can't do that without a bigdigitillion dollar workshop' barrier. I take it OP is Kiwi? (Don't shoot me if yer Aus) Worked with a Kiwi oke about 10 years back. Good bush mechanic he was.
Oddie Yang. Thank you :) I am a kiwi :) and I totally agree with you :)
***** Doesn't bother me. I'm not paying to have him make me something by eye, nor am I buying something he's made by eye. I'm just killing time watching a free to watch video, that shows the basic concept of how to make a crude wooden sphere without a lathe and ball turning rig. The basic concept of things, and how they can be achieved with the least amount of technology, is something I find rather interesting. For my personal interests, less is more, and simple is best.
***** Somewhere there's a comment pointing out the irony in the fact that a guy who doesn't know the difference between surmise and summarize, goes about the internet dropping duh's. I'm sure I'd recognize that comment when I see it, but it's out there, man.
***** verb verb: surmise; 3rd person present: surmises; past tense: surmised; past participle: surmised; gerund or present participle: surmising 1. suppose that something is true without having evidence to confirm it. "he surmised that something must be wrong" synonyms: guess, conjecture, suspect, deduce, infer, come to the conclusion, conclude, theorize, speculate, glean, divine; More assume, presume, suppose, understand, gather, feel, have a sneaking suspicion, hazard a guess, sense, be of the opinion, think, believe, imagine, judge, fancy, reckon; formalopine "she surmised that he was keen to leave" antonyms: know noun noun: surmise; plural noun: surmises 1. a supposition that something may be true, even though there is no evidence to confirm it. "Charles was glad to have his surmise confirmed"
***** The accuracy of the eyeballs I have made by hand with this method, with PVC eyelids, are with a half millimeter tolerance, in order for the eyelid to open and close without scraping the eyeball. My 'Eye' is precise enough for the application in my opinion. Thank you Oddie . You have the right perspective. and mr Dude....Bronx, my cursor hovers over the ban button.
Thank you Sir. I love your videos as i learn through them. Greetings from India.
Great Job, I love the fact that you had a problem and had the skills and initiative so solve it the world needs more people who look for solutions instead of complaining about difficulties. I appreciate you sharing this, thanks Philip.
Now I feel like I have to go make hand crafted wooden balls...
+Demonic Darkness same
Great video ! I liked your marking pencil & your way of wood working pretty similar to the creative & humble woodworkers here in India. Looking forward for more of interesting projects. Warm Regards,
Hi Manish, good to hear from you and note that there are people like me in my neighbourhood. are you in woodworking ?
Yes Atif Hasan a kind of, I design & make Wooden Puzzles & Educational Toys. I actually do it for my voluntary child help organization The Jigyasa Foundation, and it's a lot of fun & learning. www.jigyasafoundation.in facebook.com/thejigyasafoundation
Thanks Manish Pathak , you are doing very good work. I am however into woodworking as a hobby. I have made small boxes, tables, stools etc.. just as a beginner and learning my way up to obtain a better finish. nice connecting with you. :)
I have seen some wonderful wood work from India.
I love watching people with a beard and making stuff
I loved this woodenballs.I would use them for my papier mache work to make eyes on my sculptures.Thank you for sharing this!
Great to hear! I also use a half one to form PVC eyeballs on. Do you have a channel with any of your sculptures?
Philip, love the technique. Sadly, until today I'd never seen the technique used before watching your video. How far back does this method (using a sharpened cylindrical cutter) date, do you know? Gives one an even greater appreciation of the effort involved in making spheres by hand before the widespread availability of power tools
I have no idea as to how balls were made historically, apart from lathes or whittling.. I saw a youtube video of a Japanese man once, using a jar and piece of mosquito netting to finish off a lathed ball and I was impressed with the physics of that, a circle on a sphere, and thought I would use the hole saw concept to rasp in a circle, to achieve a sphere, and as I did not have a hole saw, I made the one in the video and found it had some advantages over the commercial hole saws.
Impressive! I wonder if you could do the same thing using a hole saw.
yeah, he does say that.
Rob Green Cool, I kind of skipped around.
I'll be digging mine out later!
Interesting and effective method of making something sophisticated from incredibly simple tools.
Wow! Great how to video. I’ve learned something totally new. Thank you!
Just found this channel, Loving it! :D Nothing like woodworking the old ways! :) Thanks for your videos!!
+Oblidemon Ouroboros "the old ways" like the 1940's power drill?
Michael Crawford Older than that haha. I have some 40's machinery though.
My mom walked in the room and I switched to porn because it was easier to explain
very cool to see someone do things like this without the need of heavy tools + machinery. hat off to you my good sir!
What a nice and traditional way of making a wooden ball.. :D
I could see you with a wooden eye and peg leg. lol.
I could see him with a crowd behind him shouting YES! YES! YES! YES!
Nimmo1492 FAIL!

That beard though. 👍
You are amazing. Very strong hands and relaxing project. thank you grandpa
This is a really cool idea. You are a true Maker, sir, start to finish. I'm totally going to try this.
Dude looks like he's making the video from prison at the beginning
Somehow this looks like a video made in prison. Still, appreciate it.
+Franz Josef Kaiser In prison I would rather have balls of steel...
Thanks Philip...as a craftsman, I admire your ingenuity and minimalist technique...we need more creativity like this in the world! Greg
Thanks Gregory.
Wow, that's such a suprisingly easy and good method. Good job.
Damn it, how did I end up here? I swear I started with watching a lil dicky video... Somehow within like 3-4 suggestions I got here, and now feel compelled to manufacture hand crafted wooden balls.. Thankfully I have tonnes of hole saws.... Im think walnut, or cherry balls, something hard, and rugged, I wanna be able to let people handle my balls without fear of damage to my balls... Balls.
Did you film this from your cell?
This seems like the most difficult way to make a ball.... And I like it
Thats badass. Gonna make a shift knob using some of your techniques!
awesome beard

some say Radagast...
lol more like gandalf

I don't have any of those tools, and barely have a screw driver in this house.. still watching these how to/wood craft videos..
You saved my life dude.Thanks a lot.I need to make an Odins Eye replica fo my Fonr Sidr Kindred (asatru vanatru,old norse culture) and I dont have any tools. thanks a lot and cheers from Brazil
+Rafael Felix . Excellent. Saludos desde Colombia.
The voice does not match the face at all, I expected a gruff old man southern accent, not a soft English one.
AfterDark3 :)
Sounds like a New Zealander to me
AfterDark3 He's a Kiwi aint he?
Flux Kiwi? I haven't heard that term/
AfterDark3 and Flux, yes, I am a New Zealander, but I live in South America at the moment. A 'Kiwi' is a bird, a fruit, and a New Zealander. :)
only in prison
Awesome in a primitive way. What a country!
Must admit that was pretty awesome to watch.. well done
"It's not what it sounds like..." You can actually make BALLS OF STEEL (or any other hard material) with the same technique. It will just take you... Several decades of hacking and filing away, I think. What's the music?
ClydeYellow You are right :).. and the music credits are at the end, on screen.
000. . s sdder0åå
you remind me of rasputin!!
Google "Aleksandr Dugin".
it actually gave me some ideas, and it is true Sr. it is so much more satisfactory doing it yourself, regards from Ecuador Latinoamerica!!!
this dude is amazing, he might be the most honest most real youtuber and the coolest tutorial-maker in the whole universe as far as we know...
Everyone, when you file, always push your strokes. Never go back and forth! Files only cut going away from you, so you will ruin your files doing otherwise. Push, lift back, push lift back.
yes you are right. :)
actually guys - this is wrong. I did engineering fitters apprenticeship and that's where you learn to file - pressure on the forward stroke, but draw the file backwards slightly rubbing the metal in order to clear out the 'pins' the filings. If you don't do this your file will soon clog up. Also it helps to pre-dress the file with chalk - especially before filing aluminium. Just rub a piece of blackboard chalk on it.
Rob Starseed "Push, lift back..." yeah, there is nothing wrong with dragging it lightly across the surface. The point I was trying to get across was that one shouldn't make a sawing motion with files. On wood it doesn't really matter too much, but on metals it does.
***** go away with your spamming bs.
Dat beard ._.
Fabulous voice-appearance ratio. And amazing tutourial for latheless wooden balls fans or course. :D
Dont listen to these people who dont like this. You made an awesome video, I think it is one of the best videos I have seen that teaches many things. You are very resourceful. I will subscribe for sure. You should be proud of your contribution.
бороду куда нибудь наматаеш :)
Haha. English accent with an extremely stereo typically Southern face. I like it.
Gabriell Massey He doesn't have an English accent.
***** Correct!
Gabriell Massey thats a kiwi accent champ
Brilliant! I live in an apartment, Lathe is not happening. This is awesome! Thanks.
I nerver knew that you can make wooden balls like this. Thanks for tutorial. ☺
So, you've essentially made a tool to make a tool to create a tutorial about creating an object. Don't go too far.
+Wali Adeeb. That's essentially what industry does... maybe they should not go too far also.
i clicked on this video to watch "wooden balls" not this balls 2/10
I hope you find what you are looking for.
***** i thought it was good 10/10
Classic DIY Kiwi! Thanks for the video! What a legend!
You have some awesome skills.... enjoyed watching your video...
thanks to your method today I made 2 balls (3.8 inches in diameter each) and they turned out amazingly well thanks again for sharing cheers from Italy
That is brilliant! I need to make some balls for a gladius guard and pommel. Thank you for the video.
Bacan, facil practico me gusto te felicito gracias por compartirlo
Wow, with power tools it will be very fast way of making them. Thank you very much.
Gracias genio, saludos desde Argentina.
+osvaldo cesar Vazquez saludos desde Colombia.
Fantastic, I'd never have imagined doing this by hand. Thanks for the info! I love seeing you make custom hand tools for your various projects.
Philip amigo cuando publicaras mas de esos fabulosos videos? Entro en youtube solo para ver si has creado algo nuevo, tienes gran ingenio y tus videos son exzcelentes!!! Un abrazo amigo! gracias por compartir tus ideas.
I learn this lesson!! Tank's for share your acknowledgment! Greetings from Portugal!!
nice video, very therapeutic and relaxing work
***** Great , glad you think so. :)
I was a little surprised you didn't use a hand-crank drill after fabricating all of the other tools. but this is pretty awesome!
Excelente trabajo maestro
Fantastic!! Necessity is the mother of invention my good man!! Therapeutic indeed, the more hands on the better!!!
+Jason Johnson . Yes I had a need, I got the job done, and it led onto a number of other cool things.
