I make an ''8 Ball'' out of solid Stainless Steel and Brass

I had this idea since I recently discovered how to easily make balls on the milling machine and lathe. As I currently don't know what to restore next, I decided to make the 8 ball. It was a very cool little project. Very accurate work was needed to get all six individual pieces fit together with no gaps. The hardest part of this project was filming the last few shots, because it is so super shiny now and reflects everything. I really like how it turned out and it will be a nice decoration piece to look at.
I hope you like my work and the video.

I don’t work with metal much, mostly wood, but I’d imagine the brass would tarnish much more quickly than the steel. Is there any kind of clear coat you can apply? Or is it just a matter of keeping it clean?
