Hello and greetings to you, a skilled craftsman, your teaching is very useful and interesting, and I enjoyed it. Sincerely, Parviz Bayat from Iran.
Neat! Something else for my list of thing's I'll never get done...
bro last night i went onto a whole stone sphere machine rabithole, started looking up electric motors for this 3 grinder set up lmao ill never make a stone sphere fuck
😂 dreams for those retirement years..... I have buckets and buckets and buckets filled with my special things that I'm saving for my projects....
This is genius, I'm going to show this to my rock club
Great video! I've been thinking I can't make spheres because I don't have the right tools, but you just listed everything I have at my disposal. Now to finally put those hole saws to a good use. Thanks!
Could have used this video like a MONTH AGO!!! But thank you so much for sharing it!! Love it!!
Thank you so much for making this clip.
Nice work! Glad to see some innovative lapidary on YT.
Thanks! More to come!
Very cool stuff great job looks great
Good job, that is really cool!
Thats awsome thank you so much for sharing this. 😊
Subscribed, liked and comment. That's cool. I thought it would take so much more time. My next project with the grand kids.
Awesome job
This was great!
Great video! Thanks for also listing all the tools you used.
Welcome! Let me know if you try it out!
@@bisonhillstonecrafts5122 I have no immediate plans to, but I'll let you know if I do. I was actually looking for ideas on how to build a dedicated sphere machine. I'd love to make some small spheres or marbles, like an inch or so in diameter. Finding the right motor for the job is my first problem to figure out.
Thanks for the tutorial! 👍
No problem 👍
love this
When I was in Japan, I saw somebody making stone vases.
Nice!
How much money worth of sandpaper did you use?
How long you take for the processes?
Store I work at sells those size spheres for about 25.00 Can......always wondered how they did it..thks for vid...amazing...
How much is 25 Can in CAD
$25.00 Canadian?????
This looks amazing! But how do you cover the hole where the dole was inserted?
There's no hole in the sphere, the dowel doesn't stick into the stone that far
@@bisonhillstonecrafts5122 thanks that's super helpful!
Just out of curiosity what lathe brand and drill press do you use?
It's all harbor freight stuff, it was like $600 total. I do have the Nova chuck too
Where did you get your unpowered spindle from?
The full tool list is in the description, here is the link for the spindle.

That was impressive, this works with any kind of stone? I'll try with wood too.
Yes, it would work with any stone you can cut with a diamond hole saw. For super hard stuff you'll probably go through more than one diamond bit so it's good to have extras.
@bisonhillstonecrafts5122 how do you think people did this in the past without diamond tools? Is it even possible with just copper or iron?
@@jameseden9380 they used a hammer stone.
I found a few absolutely stunning agate rocks in decorative landscape rocks. A few are multicolored like a rainbow. All had numerous layers and in gorgeous patterns. I collect both rocks and marbles to name a few things. These agates are stunning and I'd be afraid I'd ruin them. I wish I could find someone nearby who could do a good job. I'm in central Illinois.
😮
Where would one acquire an unpowered spindle?
The links for everything are in the description on the video, they are available on Amazon
Now make custom billiard set
Good idea 👌🏻 I'd like to see that too.
wow using your hand. This is def the cheapest
nice, can you do this with a 30ton rock now? without electricity and with only hand tools.
the cheapest way is to lick it
You can do this for even less with just a hammer, a chisel, and a vice
Doubt it. Show me a decent vice for less than $60
You can do it with no tools. Just keep rubbing with your hands. It takes a while though.
Or just a river and some pocket lint
just will it into a sphere
How many rock statues have you made?
Crap
