- How to turn wooden balls. How to combine both the lathe and the drill press to make wooden balls. In this woodworking video we see how to set both woodworking tools to make the wood balls using a hole saw. Turning wooden balls can be tricky, but with this trick we can get almost perfect wood balls.

That was one of the most terrifying and ingenious things I've ever seen!
That's amazing! I did think it would all jam up suddenly at the start, but it worked a charm. Very innovative. That's what I love about your woodworking videos, they make my brain re-wire itself and accept new ways of looking at stuff.
Well done! Very clever of you. I look forward to your videos. All the best to you, Sir.!
Why people give thumbs down? This is beautiful simplicity.
I was looking at your setup and thinking to myself, "OMG, he's not going to do what I think he's going to -- he is. He seriously is." :-) This was Matthias Wandel-quality crazy/clever.
I actually got here through one of Matthias' videos.
People say much the same when I take to wood spinning on my Lathe, with a 4 inch Makita angle grinder & tungsten tip rotary power chisel (Arbortec wood carver pro).
It works so well I’m going to make a dedicated copy Lathe with the angle grinder and wood carver out of my 2nd Lathe & keep it for repetitive baluster type work, where it’s mounted on a cross slide that follows the desired shape template. I’m of half a mind to use CNC & stepper motors to automate it!

Wow! That is really cool.

Matthias is a freaking GENIUS!
"I think not bad" is truly an understatement. That is really thinking outside of the box.. I wish I had the need for some wooden balls.
That sounds like what Gapetto said just before deciding that Pinocchio was to be a boy.
Thomas Russell hahaha
You must use them to play croquet!

LMAO - That is one of the best comments I have seen in a while
I'm thinking wood and resin. It'll need some touching up to make it glassy, but it's a good start.
Thanks for the video. It's great to see videos like this where people think outside the box. To be honest, I was waiting for the hole saw to grab hold of the wood and something go flying. A little bit of danger always makes projects more fun!
Not often I can say it with so much admiration wow that man used his head this time. Three cheers
Fantastic! You utilize the potential of the tool beyond its typical use.
You are one clever man that never ceases to amaze me. Oh how I wish you were my neighbour!
Great, I have a shop too. We could be unpopular together.
Thanks Sergio,this gave me the idea on how to make planters with these balls attaches to the four wooden posts for a good finish!!!
Here in Brazil we have a name for these clever improvisations that looks like could go very wrong, gambiarra. And you sir is a gambiarra master.
You sir have some balls
pete a And they're not brass.
HAHAHAHA
And they are made of wood!
There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity.
Mr. Padin.......you Sir, have an incredible eye and thought process for developing new ways of doing projects. You are an artist and I thank you for your videos that have given me ways to build many of my own projects.
That is very clever. Thanks for sharing. I was terrified and thrilled at the same time.
hahahahaha Yes, it was 😅
I've been wondering about this for several years now. Now I don't have to try it myself. Thank you for the great vid
I have the exact same hobbist lathe in my shed, hardly used and gathering dust, I will get it out tomorrow and give this great idea a try, you sir, are a genius!!
This is definitely a safety squints engaged, mom on speed dial scenario. 😂
Sketchier as frig
2 condoms as well
Chip Ormsby im pretty sure even in safety glasses I would squint
Extremely high pucker factor
carolyn mmitchell I'm squinting through the screen.
Another genius on TH-cam. That's two I've come across in the last hour.
Pure genius, I wish my dad was still alive. He would have loved this.
Awesome! I have lathe/mill and this is by far the most easy way to make a sphere!
I am thoroughly impressed by your ingenuity! Not to mention your fearlessness of completely cutting through the wood. I probably would've cut and sanded the last bit just for safety. And fear of injury( lol)! Great video again. If I wouldn't have already subscribed I would have after this one!
Maybe if your rounded the wood first it might run smoother, less drag on the outside of the hole saw. Or, when you get close, use a parting tool or SHARP chisel to open the outside gap a bit.
Thomas Russell I agree.
Thomas Russell killer what's your channel name where you did the way you said? I cant wait to watch it
Sergio, thank you. It is really easy, fast and useful idea.
Very ingenious and effective. I imagined there would be several quite delicate processes, but you did it all in one go!
Very clever way to turn wooden balls, thanks for sharing!
This is not so dangerous if go slowly with low power tools just like he did. Very clever method... Thanks for sharing!
This man has balls of wood for trying this, literally. Don't you just love YT.
Thank you for the inspiration teaching us how to build one now I want to build this set up very cool
I say, what a clever idea! With a bit of imagination and invention................
I am going to produce these balls in mass quantities most probably by using your method.....
Thanks a lot bro you are genius man ...
Wow! Thank you!
A novel idea. Fastening the square blank via a screwed on face plate would eliminate the slippage. However, there is a lot of torque on the ball at the end and you need a really HEAVY drill to spin it. Going to try this on some fence posts I have to make
Out of 1.3 million views,if only 1 percent lost their fingers trying this, that's still 13 000 people!!! lol....Nice job on this...I might give it a try myself. Cheers from Canada.
Believe it or not, this is same idea we used to machine steel balls for ball valves. On horizontal boring machine. Steel on rotary table at angle. Single point cutter at pre-determined diameter. Ball fashioned by revolving table. Very accurate with fine finish.
Days before CNC.
Great job. Keep practicing your English, because you are doing well. Maybe you could teach the thousands in my area that have lived here for many years how to speak English. I enjoyed the video.
Just tried this on my mini wood lathe I had to put wood under my piller drill to get the height
but it works a wonder. this is something else I have learnt off u tube
Just wonderful , I make patterns for sand casting and making a ball is not easy , but your method is brilliant thank you
Buen experimento, pero la textura final es muy burda. Buen trabajo Sergio.
Thank you!
Amazing bro!!! I had a piece of 4x4 fly off my lathe one time...definitely had to change my underwear haha.
Good job, sand it while spinning prior to it breaking off then touch up the ends👌🏽
Excellent, many thanks.
I've did it to make some of those pinterest pencil ball rings, the setup is a bit tedious but work like charm when is needed to batch more than one or two! The only problem is the red color left on the piece, i've solved it stripping the paint entirely from the holesaw.
What a terrible idea.... I LOVE IT! Good job.
Ur drill bit is wobbly that's why it wasn't very smooth by the end. But one cheeky but innovative way. Great job.
buena tu idea Sergio, algo peligrosa para mi gusto, pero...
Sólo dos sugerencias:
1) sería razonable acercar el trozo de madera a una forma más cilindrica y no tan prismática
2) se puede ver claramente sobre el final del video como la perforadora de mano que usas como torno se mueve en su soporte...
sdos.!
This is brilliantly simple and works great!
I’m amazed
Thanks for the video
Awesome technique!
The weight of the hole saw and drill pressing down put pressure causing the waste wood to nip against the hole saw outer edge that's why it buckled and came of. Very good idea you could make loads of even shaped balls for rail posts and things.
the cutting tool has to turn way faster than the ball itself otherwise you get a point where the direction of cutting and direction of spinning is the same and that is why it might be rough.
Like 'retreating blade stall' in a helicopter. At a certain speed, the rotor blade rotating backwards relative to the direction of flight is effectively at zero airspeed, no longer generating lift on that side, and the chopper falls out of the sky.
Good pickup @Anton Markov. You could have a point there.
Excellent Idea, think I'm gonna give that a go but maybe wear a full protective mask :) Also, after you have finished roughing the ball, you could try replacing the rough hole cutter with a diamond hole cutter and finish it off with that. I think the end result would be far smother and still be a perfect ball.
Nice start but a real lathe will help. Excellent idea!
A real lathe has a attachment to make round objects lol. but that's the safe way.
and there is no excitement ! with the easy and safe way you don't feel alive
Good job you could try stopping the hole saw wile the ball is still connected by 5mm or so and sand wile it’s still on the lathe then saw the tabs still contact
Sergio Acuña Padin
unique idea.never imagined that before.excellent.
i wish i came up with that idea in 7th grade wood shop i would of for sure got an A+
You sir, are The Man!
Woah. What an awesome idea. Great job. BALLSSSSS!!!
Brilliant!!! Just F'in Brilliant !!!
This is genius! Love it!
ingenious!!! i've never thought of that... well done!
impressive. worked quite well.
That’s really clever! I’m glad the ball didn’t fly off at the end 😅
I a.lways wondered if this would work and now I know thanks
Had I not seen it with my own eyes . . . Amazing.
Brilliant project
very nice ,quick ,fast simple ,thank you for sharing your video friend
Very ingenious idea. Thanks for the video.
Howdy Doodie would have been thrilled with this one.
Just a simple thanks
Fantastic idea.......only suggestion I'd make is do the sanding before you cut the ball from the rest then the nubs left over are easily taken care of
Very good idea, thanks for sharing. Near the end of the turning maybe you could do a small amount of hand lathing so the saw does not bind. I will try your method.
Cool video! Thanks!
One of the things this video taught me is how people make those fancy wooden railings.
That's pretty darn clever. Nice job.
Thanks for sharing... You helped inspire some woodworking ideas...
Thanks for watching Travis 😃
Wow...awesome video and great idea!! Honestly, I wouldn't believe this would work if I hadn't seen it...I enjoyed your video very much....thanks!
melhor maneira de fazer bolas de madeira que eu já vi
Wicked cool , my only input is, Safety Glasses or face shield. Great video.
very nice trick to know. thanks
I didn’t expect that to work!
Yeah easy and we we all have this setup at home
Excellent!
Thats a great idea
WOW, that is awesome
Looks good.
What a fantastic idea
AWESOME
Should have used an chisel. More efficient, safe and less complicated. Also nice finish.
It is very amazing.
Thank you sir for this video.
Cool idea!
Very Clever!
Wonderful idea put in action!
This is a wonderful thinking..... hats off to you ..... expecting more of like this... keep it up
Great way to make a newel post.
Genius. Thank for this video bro
Fantastic idea.
Very smart idea. Just needs to be mastered. 👍
Holy crap! That's brilliant!
Sergio..
Veramente molto bello..
Bravo
Superb lateral thinking...well thought!
