#resinart #deepcast #golfballs
I can’t believe this worked - th-cam.com/video/DnfwrmZhDms/w-d-xo.html
Some turners use face shield to protect their face against flying stuff. It's a cheap thing when you don't want face surgery! 😄👍
version 2 needs to be hollow
Balls deep lol
Those shavings would look so cool cast in resin with the neon yellow and red flecks!
You can sell that to a golf course, ⛳ or a golf accessories shop. It's GORGEOUS!
I love the surprise of different colors inside each ball!
Thanks Mate, yeah they look pretty cool
This totally has trophy vibes. I agree, finding the right buyer for this could result in a real payday if marketed correctly.
@@LernestW Great idea.
@@LernestW Thought the same. Sure a club would love to have a trophy like that in their display case
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Thanks for telling us that was 4 hours worth of turning. As a non-turner it's hard to tell just how much work goes into these. Looks awesome!
Was not expecting them to have different colored insides; they look like jawbreakers.
Lovely job, you really hit a hole in one with this project!
Thanks Mate 😊
Every manufacturer uses their own proprietary blend of compounds. Some even look like raw chicken when chopped open. I work at a golf course and have seen a few golf balls annihilated.
@@oface4401 wow, that's really interesting!
*hole in one" Hahaha, good one! 👍😂
@@oface4401 Eewwww! What type of compound would give it the look of 🐔chicken?
A few golfballs I cut open had a hundred miles of thin elastic stretched around a small plastic core. Once cut, they proceeded to spew out while the ball spun around the floor. Just as well he didn't have one of those in there.
This was what I was expecting as well.
Would never have guessed that all those golf balls had 1960's wallpaper in them
Hahaha
Spoilers!
Right? Like, the Brady Bunch's, Mike Brady designed it!😂
@@AProudDad if you're reading the comments before the video, that's on you
@@SuperBeardWill im reading it after and still dont know wtf yall talking about
This could easily be a Golf trophy.
Great idea Nadiina😀
All I could think watching it. Make it into the base for a cup
👉☆You nailed it !☆ ~⛳~👈
Couldn't agree more!
I could see golfers definitely wanting that as a trophy.
That looks so cool - I was expecting the same stuff inside as they had in the 80's - like tightly coiled elastic that would just go everywhere. The internals being different colours is an awesome effect, it ended up gorgeous, no other word for it.
Thanks Mate😊
Great job Ben. I remember when golf balls used to be full of rubber strands so when you cut into one they all started coming out like worms. Glad to see they have changed the design. That deep poor resin seems to work. 👍👍
Watching the bits of resin get stuck to the camera lens makes me feel like I’m standing right next to you in the shop. An immersive experience!
👍
I just love how cheery this guy always sounds!
You could deffenitly make a busniess out of selling just those, they would easily fetch $200-$500 for golf enthusiasts and proshops could easily see a pro shop spend a few thousand on a large one for a center piece.
And as price "buckets" 🏆
Definitely 👍
You could probably even experiment with different arrangements of balls, like putting less in and curing the resin in stages so you can make some of them floating. Maybe throw in some of those small toy golf balls around those ones as well, some tees.
Also this same design, also maybe re-coat the outer surface to make it perfectly smooth, maybe some fancy base and nameplate space for a competition.
Loads of cool ideas that could be done with this design. I like this one especially because of the different smooth and rubbery textures.
I like the "floating" idea. Golfers hate the water-hazards ;)
@@Hunnter2k3 Recoating it make it smooth was my first though as well. It's look even better then. Definitely a saleable item
TH-cam algorithm told me I would enjoy this, and I did.
I have no idea what turning something means, because I was like, “Yes, you pick it up and turn it. How is this over a few seconds long?” But apparently is a process where you make cool art over several hours.
Lovely piece! Thanks for sharing with the Internet!
Thankyou 😊
Whenever a turning video goes into slow mo, I always get anxious, expecting it to be the start of some catastrophic failure... Rather glad it was just a show-off shot!
Exactly the same emotion that goes through me😉
I did too. I actually said "oh no!" Out loud. lol
Didn’t expect there to be so many different colours inside the balls... and I love the fact you made it look like a golf tee....awesome work Ben 😁😁😁
Thanks Mate😊
Was just about to jump off TH-cam and head out to the shop and then here’s Ben with a irresistible upload 😂 cheers from Canada bud 💪🏻
Thanks Mate
So, what did you make in your shop today, SGBD?😊
@@MamaPinks today I am fabricating a smoker box for a bbq trailer I’m building. Will be the first project to premiere on my new channel here. Just gotta get a little content built up first 🙂
@@smallgaragebigdreams1085 Sweet! I'm in!😊♨️🥩🍽
@@smallgaragebigdreams1085 Looks like I'm your very FIRST🤩😊!
(Feeling special🤣)
“I really don’t want to cop a ball to the face” Ben - 2021
Few of us do.
That's not what she said last night
Been looking for a "that's what she said" joke
@@johnweems4586 lmao
In his defense, I don’t know who would?
The colors of the cast-off's are really PRETTY! 🤩
Yeah they looked great
This looks incredible. I did not imagine the inside of the ball being different colours! Looks great. Well done
Wasn't expecting it to be so colorful! Nice of the golf balls to have different colored cores.
Yeah me too 😊
That really came out cool, even if it wasn’t perfectly round. I think you could have still taken down to round, reduced the tee base, and still had a great piece. That seriously is something a ton of golfers or golfer’s spouses or kids would buy for them! You could even take orders for specific balls or have them send them to you.
Looks fantastic ben worthy of being a golf trophy ⛳🏆
Thanks Mate
That is exactly what i thought. Glad someone else mentioned it!
Wow! That is so cool! It's really neat that the insides of a lot of them are colored, too. Just adds to the beauty of it. Nice job! I never expected they would turn so nicely.
Thanks Wendy😊 The colours were a nice surprise.
I didn't expect the golf ball internals to all be different colours, that worked out well!
How grabby was the rubber though? After watching Peter Brown do similar things, I was expecting you'd have some trouble, but it didn't seem like it.
Yeah it worked well, they were pretty grabby, I just had to make sure my tools were always sharp 👍
@@BensWorx I was thinking that the success of this piece showed just how sharp you keep your tools. How often do you have to sharpen them when you're working on stuff like this -- how much of your time is spent on tool maintenance vs. using them?
Thank you. And it was so nice and considerate of the team that sent you the original block to use composite golf balls.
Is no one going to mention “Unfortunately the Balls weren’t Deep Enough” 😂
or "the deeper i go the more chance I have of copping a ball to the face"
Think you might be confused... balls aren't what go deep..
He didn’t go balls deep
@@Ragnarok26 really? do you really need this explained to you? really?
Great job! Didn’t think the ball’s core would hold up or the exterior strong enough to adhere together. Impressive turning.
You should keep the shavings and set them in resin. They would look cool in resin
Yeah they would 😊
Love all the different colours! 🏌️♀️ 🏌🏻♂️ 🏌️
Thanks Andres😀
Crazy ridiculously awesomely beautiful!!! So glad you didn’t get hurt. Can’t belive they turned out like that! Guess they don’t make golf balls with rubber bands in ‘em anymore. Great job!!!
This looks so good, I like how you decided to go with a design of a ball mounted on a golf tee
Thanks Brett😊
I like the texture differences. Would make a good sensory toy :). My sons autistic, and this project would be right up his alley. Thanks for another great vid!
Thankyou! 😊👍
Deserves to be a Trophy in a Major Gold Tournament! Great work!
One dislike is Shooter McGavin still mad at loosing to Happy Gilmore 😂
😂
Brilliant idea looks just like a golf ball on a tee and the contrast of the rubber and the resin looks really good ! 🏌🏻
That's a good one, Ben. It's interesting to see what's inside because I've seen them made in a couple of different factories. I'm not a golfer so I can't comment on a course. Stay safe and I'm glad you didn't catch one on your noggin.
Bill
Thanks Bill 😊 yeah it was pretty interesting
@@BensWorx I remember cutting open a bunch of goofballs as a kid just to se what was inside. I don't remember all the variants in the small bunch I had, but I do remember that some leaked some sort of foam. My favorite was basically a rubber band ball inside the shell.
@@NagaDarmag Yeah I'd only seen the insides of ones with the rubber bands in - I was not expecting this to work at all for that exact reason. This ended up looking incredible, though.
I'm really surprised the rubber stayed in. You might want to put a thin layer of resin to keep the rubber from rotting faster than the resin.
3 Minutes in and Ben is worried about being T-Bagged with a ball to the face. End Result is absolutely amazing, Not that we really expect anything else, And seeing all the different composite materials that go into golf balls, was super cool as well.
😂Thanks Mate😀
You are one of my favorite turners/artist on TH-cam. Brilliant work! I have only golfed a few places, but my favorite is where ever the beer is the closest... cheers!
I nearly spit out my dinner at the 2:38 mark. "I'm starting to get a bit worried around here. The deeper I go, the more chances I've got of capping a ball to the face. I really don't want to cap a ball to the face!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
So glad to see this outcome! truly heartfelt.
Did anyone else really want to touch this to feel the difference in textures or is it just me?
It feels so good too 👍
I have never wanted to touch a piece of art so bad in my life!
I was thinking the same thing. It's not just you.
@@rharbarenko that’s what she said
Balls have that effect on some
That turned out so much better than I would have expected. Bravo!
I was genuinely concerned that a sudden change in material density and texture at that speed was gonna rip the tool out of your hand or seriously damage your wrist.
That's awesome! Grew up playing at Green Hills Golf Club - Mt. Vernon IL USA, still my favorite.
I think a golf ball made from resin filled with miniature golfballs would be a really pretty piece.
Yeah 👍
You, sur, know what you're doing! Best epoxy turn I've ever seen!
My brain: "That's one giant gear shift nob"
Monster truck??
For the golf caddy of course👍🏻😂😂
@@BensWorx for a Volkswagen golf 😂
Wow. So different than I imagined. Great job. Lovely result.
It would be really funny if they all start flying everywhere when they start turning
That has to be one of the nicest pieces youve done, simple but it really pops. awesome job as always 👍
Those shavings would look great in a resin cast project.
Golf ball on a tee was the perfect way to go. Not only is it spot on with the theme, but it was a great way to deal with the golf balls only being in part of the casting. Great job.
Thanks Rick😊
4 hours of turning?! Christ I knew these projects took long I didn’t think the turning was so long though.
Yeah it was due to the size, I couldn’t turn the lathe speed up so it was slow going
Imagine the hand cramps he probably gets.
@@Cff920 the painful “trigger finger” cramps where your finger gets stuck to your palm? I’ve had those from using power tools.
I absolutely love the slow motion bit at 1:58. I always enjoy you're videos.
Thanks Mate😊
I never would have imagined golf balls could make such a colorful piece! I wonder how it would turn out if you put the colored castoffs into resin to make gear shifts?
Yeah it turned out really good 👍
Absolutely amazing, would make an awesome trophy!!
If you had golf balls from the 70s there'd be a bunch of rubber bands flying out
Yeah definitely
That's what I was expecting!
@@stevesymons7196 Same here. I worked in the gym equipment room in college and used to pull the shells off damaged balls to watch the rubber bands come unraveled.
So much cooler looking than I expected! Very nice!
Try that with wound rubber band golf balls: I dare you.
That's what I was expecting to see. When ever I cut apart an old golf ball as a kid it was always full of "rubber bands".
Exactly. Liquid core.
Imagine doing this with gobstoppers, would look insane, you’re welcome for the idea😍
You should save the resin strings coming out of the lathe and do a project with it.
👍
That is one of the coolest turns I’ve ever seen. Very well done!
That looks pretty cool mate, good thing it wasn't the old golf balls that are filled with coiled stuff. Would of had that jumping out at you.
A million miles of rubber band.
Thanks Mate, yeah that would be crazy
This beautiful piece of art reminds me of Everlasting Gobstoppers!! It's so pretty!!! 😍
Nice result mate 👍
Wow spoilers
Spoiler alert wtf
I absolutely love this piece. The colors alone are stunning.
This has me really interested in seeing a gumball machine inspired piece
Great idea, thanks😊
Yeah, that's excellent dude, the clear resin came out wonderfully clear & shiny, & the base looks great as part of the whole piece, nice job.
"...unfortunately, the balls weren't deep enough."
[giggle like a schoolgirl]
thank god im not the only one.
That's so neat! As a golfer I'd love to display that in my proshop! The balls almost look like dimples!
Not like the golf balls I pulled to bits, I would unwind them till I got the black rubber ball in the centre!
Back in the '60s we use to do the same. The little black balls would bounce like crazy.
That looks AMAZING!! Well done. 🤩 I cringed through the entire video terrified of the tool grabbing on the rubber. Great piece. Great video!
Thanks Juile-Ann😀
Humans: “We’re all the same on the inside.”
Golf balls: “Move over scrubs, let a pro show you how it’s done.”
That is amazing work .. what a fine piece of art.
If I were you, I would use a large sphere mold (shiny inside) and just cast golf balls and resin in it. That way, you wouldn’t have to turn and polish it on the lathe, resulting in all the golf balls staying 100% intact. You could also make a golf tee base for it separately.
I'm new to this channel and I can't stop watching you work! 1: it's like ASMR especially when you turn. 2: it's crazy you can continue to take things and turn them into something completely different. You work magic and I'm inspired by your creativity. Thank you!
I was like "No way, you can't turn golf balls. The rubber bands will snap all over the place." Then I remembered they don't make them with rubber bands any more.
I thought the same thing. Guess I'm getting old.
i wasn't expecting them to have different colours inside, that was a nice touch!
I am extremely surprised to see the colours inside the golf balls . When my sisters and I were children light years ago we’d search for golf balls around the local course and pick them to pieces . Their innards were made of zillions of rubber strands wound tightly in a sphere . We also put pennies on the railway tracks . Ah the delights and never ending entertainments of the country town .
I did both those things too in late 90's Australia.
That’s freaking amazing!!! You’re so clever and inventive!!!
Finally a decent use for golf balls now you need to develop a way to turn golf clubs into garden art and the world will be a better more productive place
That turned out really awesome .. totally surprised how good it actually does look . Great job.

Ben, can you cast liquid Tequila gold in a shot glass, with a slice of lime?
Love it. Is there any risk of the golf ball centers popping out at some point?
Hi Ben I have an idea. Take some tennis balls and fill them with various colors of resin then cast them into clear resin. Could make for an interesting project. If the rubber on the tennis balls is an issue then maybe ping pong balls
How much to make me one of those???
my family owned a driving range till like 2005 and they used to have some balls that were totally made on the inside out of like a giant rubber bands and i was thinking all balls were like that so i was doubtful at first but you should try to find those ones and see if that is the same
That should be a tournament trophy! Outstanding.
I was scared that somehow a golf ball with rubber bands would've made it in.
Luckily it didn’t 👍
I cut one of those open... once... My wife and daughter had a good laugh!!!!!
Only you could make a bunch of resin cast golf balls into something lovely! Well done!!
Thank you Ellen😀
That's so cool Ben, I never would have thought the core of the golf balls would be so colorful with all those different colors. My favorite golf course is my hometown one in Evergreen Colorado. Lots of trees and rocks to avoid but great fun.
Thanks Mate😊
I love everything about this project.
Agreed. I was so surprised by the finish! My current favorite course to date is El Camaleón near Cancun in Mexico. It’s the home of the Mayakoba Golf Classic. Expensive… but privileged to have had the chance to play there.
Keep up the great work!
As a Golfer, that would make a great trophy on my shelf. Well done, it looks great and I really liked the base and when you put light on on it. Great work mate.
By far one of the coolest pieces I have seen. Wish I could have had a chance to purchase this one.
Kapalua Golf - Maui, Hi (Plantation Course)
This is by far the best golf experience I have ever had. There are probably courses that rate “better,” but the combination of the incredible views and weather in Maui, and the playability of the course makes it #1 in my book. Very enjoyable for an amateur or novice golfer. Big fairways and big greens make for a great round of golf. If you are a more experienced golfer, this course is great because you can absolutely smash the ball as far as you want on many holes here.
Some points, to boost the algorythm with a comment.
The idea itself are a win in some mad art competition.
They say to do a freehand circle is a sign of an artist. Doing freehand turning a ball makes an all-round artist, even if it became an oblate spheroid, just like our planet on a stand. Beats the CNC work, wich i doubted can be made into artwork. Metalworking on a machine tend to look too mechanic to call it an art. People have to love it, the piece having no other purpose, than to please the eye, provoking thought and emotion.
This is also a first machining video i've seen women commenting in awe!
Last year i managed to mill a heart out of 60mm plasma offcut with an irregular chasm through the centre. Came out beautiful. It was a farewell gift to a girl who broke my heart. She loved it, named it an art piece and carries often with her. I told her if she didn't reject me in the end, she'd still get the heart and more, just without the split trough the middle. That split added to the estethic value though, making an inexpected life lesson.
After that, i had no more spare time at work and been low on ideas recently. Even if i have no tools or machine at mine yet, thanks for the inspiration, Ben!
Thanks Danny 😊 hopefully you get some spare time soon to make some more pieces
Ok, now, that's just gorgeous! ⛳
I didn’t think they would. Finished item look amazing!
West Links, North Berwick, East Lothian Scotland. One of the best competition courses in Scotland! Which makes it one of the worlds greatest Links courses. It has the most copied hole (6th) of any course.
That turned out incredible. Each ball looks like the divots on a real golf ball.
one of the best pieces i've seen looks amazing
That turned out lookin cool asf!! Surprised the rubber turned that easily. Was half expecting the tool to stick in it and go flying or something.
