When I was a kid, back in the '50s, an old fellow had crutches with several pretty, colorful "captive" marbles encased like that. Fascinating to a kid, like me! A similar thing my dad made once was a Coca Cola bottle with a hole drilled all the way through and a carved wooden arrow penetrating through both sides. In that case the arrow head (or the carved fletching) had been soaked and compressed down to permit insertion, then expanded again when dried.
Wish I had a fully equipped woodshop ( I'm not talking CNC equipped or anything of that magnitude ) because I'm confident I'd be able to make a nice little living from my shop products at craft shows and such. I used to work for an antiques reproduction company that specialized in curio/china cabinets of all sorts ( Plain Jane's all the way up to our 7 foot tall hall monsters ). The owner of the company used to allow me to work on my own creations during breaks and lunch because he knew how much joy I got from them. Eventually, because he appreciated my sense of fabrication, we put our minds together and constructed a fiberglass/plexiglass wind fairing for his recumbent bicycle. Turned out quite nice for a couple of guys who were working from scratch.
Start small with some basic tools. There are a lot of TH-cam videos for small workshops. I'm trying to set up one myself. I'm currently stuck on what name to use for a channel. :)
For those wondering about the size bit he used, I did some calculations. If the 'rails' were left square, the minimum bit width would need to be 1-3/16" to cross-sectional fit the golf ball. This leaves rails 9/16" wide. However, since the insides are sanded down a little, my guess is that he used a 1-1/4" to 1-3/8" bit. If using the 1-3/8" bit, that leaves 3/16" rails, which is probably about as thin as you'd want to make it in order to avoid breaking. I'd probably start with the 1-1/4".
thats pretty cool man, thanks for sharing! i saw on your website that you recommend taping off the golf ball if your planning on applying a finish to the wood... just thought i'd mention that another option that may be easier then tape would be to cut a square of plastic wrap/ suran wrap, feed it under the ball, back through and over the top of the ball and then twist the corners to wrap the ball inside the wood.
I made a dozen of these as gifts for our daughter's wedding in 2017 after seeing the idea elsewhere. For the golf balls I ordered personalized ones with the couples names and the wedding date. I gave them out at the rehearsal dinner and made them guess how it was done. Took a while, but grooms sister finally got the idea.
Wanna make this, this weekend when my granddaughter is here. I'm curious if you can use a different species of wood, something other than Basswood? I live in a place in the world where it's difficult to find wood such as basswood. Mostly, I'm wondering about pine. Thanks :-))
I’ve never really taken specific types of wood into consideration when doing projects but can I bend hard wood just as easily as soft wood when “boiled”??
This would be a great kids project because of how safe a drill press is to use. If you do a little prep work, it will make the child feel like they did it all by themselves. Note: use 1 1/4 inch bit (divided by 2 is 5/8 inch radius) Tools & Materials: miter saw drill press 1 1/4" Forstner bit 4 clamps push stick rubber mallet wood stock 1 3/4 inch square or greater Setup: 1. Rip the wood stock to 1 3/4 inch in advance. 2. Clamp a 5 inch stop on the right side of the fence of your miter saw. 3. Have an Irwin Quick Grip style clamp beside the miter saw. (With children you want to teach them to clamp their projects and not hold them.) 4. Clamp (with 2 clamps) a scrap fence on your drill press 7/8 inch (1 3/4 inch divided by 2) from center. 5. Screw into your fence 2 stops 3 5/8 inch (5 inch stock - 3/4 inch ends - 5/8 inch bit radius) from center on each side of your drill press. 6. To keep their left hand safe from the saw, tape a sheet of paper to your miter saw table where you want them to put their hand. 7. To keep their left hand safe from the drill press, have a push stick beside the drill press. Steps: 1. Have the child trace their own hand on the paper (from #6 above) and write their name somewhere outside. (If you have several kids doing this, like for a Maker Space project, have a box of 64 crayons and let each child pick a different color because all the hands will be overlapping. When everyone is done, the paper is an art project prize for the organizer.) 2. Clamp wood to miter saw and make 1 cut. 3. Put wood against fence and use push stick to drill as many times as needed 4. Sand 5. Boil 6. Hammer golf ball in with a rubber mallet
@Tim Olson Here's a huge collection of woodworking plans: HootWood. com I was able to build 2 sheds in my backyard with these plans so I highly recommend them.
When I was in grade 9 wood shop, Dave Code, who had long hair, and also though a drill press was safe, changed his mind when the bit caught his blonde tresses and promptly removed about a 1" diameter section of his scalp. Dave is much more cautious now around woodworking tools :)
3:20 half a wolverine 🤘.My father was a lifetime sawyer and passed the bug to me.If you know of any good woodworking shops in kingston ny I would love to get the opportunity to do some work, After I got married my tinkering went to zero and would love to set my creativity free.
I am trying to make a walking cane, and I would like to put a crystal on the top, like you did here, inside a carved hole, so can I do it the same way, or do I need to saw off the top and glue it back together?
Just made it out of walnut for a 'Hole in One' ball for my lucky friend. Worked great. Boiled the walnut for about five minutes and when inserting heard a creaking sound but no evidence of crack on dried finished piece. Guess I got lucky.
You could also turn this into a magic trick where people can remove the ball without heating the wood. Cut a slot off one end that slides back into place via a dowel so you can swivel it in a clockwise/counterclockwise fashion, allowing someone to remove the ball. At first I thought this was how you did the trick, but it's just an idea for innovating
I would like to know what the drill bit is called, I remember using them many years ago in high school but can not seem to get them anywhere now. Here in Australia we can get spade bits which are just flat but not those round ones. I have even searched on Ebay etc but no luck
He didn't tell us but I think he said the dimensions of the block were 1-3/4 x 1-3/4. I'm guessing he used a 1 inch bit which would make the "post" 3/8 after drilling. That's just my guess. But did he use a golf ball or a ping pong ball? The ball doesn't look like it has dimples.
Five minutes on the boil. Maybe if you boiled your own pretty little head (at 212F or 100C) at Sea Level for an hour or two you might ingest a smidgen of "common" knowledge but the temperature of the water when you begin to boil the water isn't relevant. I hope this helps.
Obviously, it will depend on the exact species of wood, its varying density, and exact water temperature. There is no exact time, and it won't take you long to figure it out for YOUR wood. This project is a low pucker factor anyway: really easy/cheap to just try again.
aboctok well like the guy above you said..... it would depend on what type of wood you were using. Why would he give you a soaking time when it would be different for everyone?
+Ruby Cler You did not miss anything, video did not indicate hole size. However, I went to website and learned that he used 1.25" bit... which is better than folk guessing
Cool. Keep making videos. I don't care about woodworking, in fact its something I quite dislike. Not my thing. Seeing you do it though I can tell its something you love. That was nice to see. Thanks for uploading! Keep it up!
This is so cool! I absolutely love your channel I've watched about everything. I showed these to my wood shop teacher and he is going to teach classes how to make them!
I just did this, found drilling through ripped out the finish on the through side. I made a jig to hold the block, had to make the block dimensionally accurate. I also drilled the ends (against the grain). I’ll be making a wood ball instead of a golf ball. Just need to pick a size difference between ball and inside of the cage
I did this for our daughter's wedding. I made up enough for each member of the wedding party plus immediate family. Inserted custom printed golf balls with newlywed's names and the date. The reception was "light" Star Wars themed so with them I attached a card that read "This is a reproduction of the famous Jedi mind-trick puzzle conceived by Yoda during his 30 years in exile on Dagobah and recreated by the one known as Obi-John for members of the wedding party. Unless you are a Jedi Master and the Force is with you, do not try to remove the ball; you will break the puzzle."
you are a true master artist in seeing the raw wood as the finished art wonder before even starting to cut and sand on it. you're awesome. thank you for sharing your genius to the world. God bless
In England UK our golf balls are 1 5/8" diameter so I need to use the full 2" width of the block otherwise there would not be enough wood left on the sides. Size is everything so I suggest measurements would be useful information. Enjoyed the vid though.
If you want to stain and seal the wood, but not get stain on the ball, You would have to do that first, but will it still expand to accept the ball, and would not the water discolor or affect the stain?
When I was in Scouts we had a guy that would hand carve chains and do the same in this video but all hand carved with a wooden ball inside. He was talented.
Crazy Ed in Kingman Az had carved a ball inside of a box, my son said ya but can you carve a pyramid inside the ball inside of the box, about 3 to 6 months later he had, he also had several chains carved from 1 block of wood, extreme patience, lots of time, some bandaids, a lot of cursed words, a few extra peices of wood, and a whole bunch of knowledge and talent.
I'd like to see this done in stone. Golf balls compress a lot when hit so I wonder if some kind of vice could be made so compress the ball, insert it and then remove the vice.
Hi I'm planning on making this for my grandfather and I would like to stain it but I'm not sure what stain to use and how to keep it from getting on the golfball. If anyone can help id appreciate it
0:08 - A promise is a commitment by someone to do or not do something. As a noun promise means a declaration assuring that one will or will not do something. As a verb it means to commit oneself by a promise to do or give. Source - Wikipedia. I think that you mean that you assure us that it is in there.
I hadn't heard of that method. By the way, I don't think that would work, because the inside of a golf ball is made with yards and yards of elastic, and might spring out all over the place. Also I think it would be difficult to disguise the glue line. Maybe you could touch it up with some white Tippex or something. It could be easier carefully cutting out one of the wooden struts, inserting the ball and then carefully glueing the struct back into position. Of course all this would be cheating in a way, but it might amaze people.
how do you do the something in a glass container thing the only way I can think of is increase the temperature of the glass at a thing line then brake it at the line put in your object and heat up the part you broke off then fuse it together and form it and remove the excess glass
hey buddy do you think it would be a good idea to maybe hook up a small air pump up to it thru the bottom to make the ball float? maybe to loud better idea how about magnets? cut ball in half glue one in then super glue it back install magnet from bottom of wood so not to be seen? try it sir
I like your kind demeanor and you convey knowledge in a easy to understand way. Thank You!

This is so simple! I have some scrap wood and plan on making this for my dad for father's day!
Love it!! New to hobby, going to make a few for gifts. Thanks!!
can u tell me what size f-bit he used?
Will now have to do some cleaning, polishing in my workshop after I've made my golf ball trick and I must get some more clamps.
+ziggydog24 Hey, you can never have enough clamps...!
+WoodLogger i agree with you mate..ive got hundreds of them but still i feel theyre not enough when i start to use them..lol.

Pretty cool I’ve seen this before had to come check it out to make sure I could do it. Thanks for sharing
This would also be very interesting using a bowling ball. Probably need a 12 x 12 or larger for the frame and a lot more soaking.
+Karl Beutjer that would be awesome...
seriously....awesome?
You know boys - bigger is "awesome."
Gotta drill bit around 11" dia or a router?
Or just make a lamp from a bowling pin.
Lol, that would make my grandsons crazy, guess what Grandma's making 😂🤣😂
Perfect for my retired carpenter golfing dad yo! Nice idea
Good video and I'm impressed with your shop I like the way you've got everything nice in order

I second that, love the shop, nicely done
Hello cool trick... i have a random question, what is the music you used for this video? sounds like a score to something familiar....
+WoodLogger What size Forstner bit did you use? Thanks for the vid!
what size was the drill bit I did not catch it
That's because he didn't tell us. Thumbs down.
He didn't tell us but I think he said the dimensions of the block were 1-3/4 x 1-3/4. I'm guessing he used a 1 inch bit which would make the "post" 3/8 after drilling. That's just my guess. But did he use a golf ball or a ping pong ball? The ball doesn't look like it has dimples.
Golf ball
Have you tried this with harder woods? I have a friend who owns a sawmill with some really nice wood, but most are hardwoods.
Neat Trick. Does it matter what kind of wood you use?
Very cool Gift idea
Thanks for your videos
How long should we have to keep the wood in the water ;
at what temperature is the water boiled ?
And this is good stuff...........
The water isn't boiled. It's just before boiling. And it looks like just a few minutes. You can always just test it. :)
Five minutes on the boil. Maybe if you boiled your own pretty little head (at 212F or 100C) at Sea Level for an hour or two you might ingest a smidgen of "common" knowledge but the temperature of the water when you begin to boil the water isn't relevant. I hope this helps.
To make a video for this without telling you how long to leave it in the water...

i suppose you can just keep pushing the golf ball in while it's still in the pan. If it won't give in, it's not ready.
What size bit did you use?
What type of wood do u use ? For how long we have to keep the wood in the hot water ? Thanks
Did I miss it on the size of drill bit you used?

nice project during lock dowm(RSA) what size are the holes
What size drill bit and how long in the water? Cool trick!
I must have missed something in the video - what sizr hole did you drill? Was it 3/4?
Ruby Cler The diameter of a golf ball is 44 mm. Thus I guess the drill should be around 1 1/2".
+Ruby Cler You did not miss anything, video did not indicate hole size. However, I went to website and learned that he used 1.25" bit... which is better than folk guessing
At 2:20, you pass your hand under the drill bit to brush away the wood chips WITHOUT WAITING FOR IT TO STOP.

WHAT SIZE HOLE/DRILL DID HR USE
Cool stuff. I wish I had the gear and the knowledge to woodwork like this, seems like a relaxing hobby.
This is so cool! I absolutely love your channel I've watched about everything.
I showed these to my wood shop teacher and he is going to teach classes how to make them!
I just did this, found drilling through ripped out the finish on the through side. I made a jig to hold the block, had to make the block dimensionally accurate. I also drilled the ends (against the grain). I’ll be making a wood ball instead of a golf ball. Just need to pick a size difference between ball and inside of the cage

Did I miss it? What size Forster bit did you use?
Is there some way I can do this without using a drill press. Unfortunately don't own one.
Does it have to be bass wood ? Or will a piece of regular wood work. ??
No you could probably get away with any soft wood. Just needs to be flexible.
what size diameter is the drill bit?
+Tim Yassa from woodlogger.com : "1 - 1/4″ Forstner Bit"
Tim Yassa two inches
how in the hell could the drill be 2 inches when the block is only 1 3/4 inch wide
That's the magic!
Bill D, how the hell you didn't catch any sarcasm in his statement?
How long does it take to dry the wood. I mean really dried thoroughly and not just dried to touch and how to speed the drying process?
What song are you using for this video or who's playing? Thanks!!!
What size bit did you use, please?
This question was asked repeatedly and never answered.
You mention expanding and contracting but it's really just making the wood more flexible to allow the ball to be inserted.

Do the thin sides ever dry and warp, or do they dry perfectly straight every time? Also have you ever tried making one of these with a scroll saw?
What is a good website to order this wood off of
Nice! I really love to subscribe to your channel to see in how many creative ways you flip the bird next time.
finally an actual version of this trick that doesn't invole "sawing in half and gluing back together"
I hadn't heard of that method. By the way, I don't think that would work, because the inside of a golf ball is made with yards and yards of elastic, and might spring out all over the place. Also I think it would be difficult to disguise the glue line. Maybe you could touch it up with some white Tippex or something. It could be easier carefully cutting out one of the wooden struts, inserting the ball and then carefully glueing the struct back into position.
Of course all this would be cheating in a way, but it might amaze people.
No i meant sawing the wood, or sawing a glass bottle
Hey this one looks fun!
What size golf ball did you use ?
What size forstner drill bit do you use?
1 1/4 drill bit
Does this work with a medicine ball
Spoiler alert:
Yes, you just need to soak the block longer.
al mai .....why is your block sick?
No, but bowling balls are great for that avid bowler in the family. lol
how do you do the something in a glass container thing the only way I can think of is increase the temperature of the glass at a thing line then brake it at the line put in your object and heat up the part you broke off then fuse it together and form it and remove the excess glass
what size forester bit was that you used?

What size bit should you use for that
Thank you…really great to know how it was done

hey buddy do you think it would be a good idea to maybe hook up a small air pump up to it thru the bottom to make the ball float? maybe to loud better idea how about magnets? cut ball in half glue one in then super glue it back install magnet from bottom of wood so not to be seen? try it sir
the ball would spin around I. the wood and stick to the bottm

Maybe a minute or two , i honestly don't know
3 weeks at medium heat.
