Woodturning | Turning A Bowling Ball 

Bowling ball bowl with a hole 🤷🏼‍♂️

Bowling ball into a ballin bowl?

It's a bowl in ball.

Lol

I was thinking that while watching all those streamers! That would be fun to use in a resin project.

Beat me to it lol

I know right i was gonna say the same thing man its alot of confetti at that too

Jon Rumfelt LOLOLOLOLOL

Haha that’s awesome!

taking it to the next level. nicely done

@Roger Baker that was sew corny

That was my first thought!

I came to the comments, just to see if someone else was thinking "yarn bowl"

Yes but mix it a bright color so it stands out.

Exactly what I was thinking!

@@MontseLC Me tThey would look really good in clear resin.

Yes! Peter needs some of them shavings.

Peter already tried to put Resin shavings in Resin and they vanished. So I'm not sure that this would do anything more than create a colored Resin.

What I thought too when I saw this, I went so is this how they make silly string.. lol

Part the ball exactly in ½. The narrower the part, the less its effect will be.

This may only work if you have a "passive" ball. Those "active/reactive" ones like the red ball in the video have a heavy core with an off-center-mass. You would want to have this mass centered on your turning machine like Carl did by hoking the ball up at the axis indicator next to the holes. Else the ball could go flying through your workshop... So sometimes the placement may not be chooseable!

hahahaha Thank you so much!!

lol

I actually think this is a really good idea and could pull in a lot of views the algorithm for having that in your title should put you in some other categories

This is a great idea

Carl Jacobson He’s not wrong, you should really take some inspiration from Peter Browns titles, they really pop

That's called PeterBrown

Yup, bowing ball technology has gotten crazy. The core shape, along with where the finger holes are drilled. And how the bowler rolls the ball, determines how much the ball will hook. www.thoughtco.com/bowling-ball-pins-explained-420727

Yes they do that to help people like me with a nasty hook control it and in fact use it.

I'm left handed and did some bowling years ago. Being left handed can actually have an advantage in bowling. The main reason, lane condition break down doesn't happen as much. For those that don't know, oil is put on the lanes. And it is applied in very specific ways. Sometimes heavy in the middle of the lane and light near the edges. Sometimes heavy at the start of the lanes. This is called oil patterns. Well here is where it gets interesting. Every time a ball is rolled down the lane, some of the oil gets carried down lane by the ball. This reduces the grip the ball can get on the dry back end of the lane. In turn, reducing hook potential. Left handed bowlers don't have to worry about this quite as much and right handed bowlers. Simply because there are not as many lefties burning up the left side of the lanes. Now, on to the crazy core shapes of bowling balls. The idea is, the ball spins on one axis while in the oil. Then right as the ball comes out of the oil. The ball flips it's rotation axis, so it can better grip the dry back end of the lane and hook inwards towards the "pocket." The "pocket" is the area between the front pin and the one just behind and to the side. Just to the left of the front pin for left handed bowlers, and just to the right for right handed bowlers. The shape of the weight and where the finger holes are drilled in relation to that weight. That is what determines how easily or quickly the ball can revert back to it's natural rotation axis. The last ball I had, on standard League play oil pattern. I could roll the ball straight down the 5th board from the left gutter. It would get out of the oil and "flip" then hook and slam pretty much directly into the pocket. My issue was being consistent with ball speed, location and direction. Sorry for the long winded comment. Just thought I would share my experience and insight.

I had or have find r still, bit no longer bowl. One of them is a plastic ball with scooby doo on it I think I might try this with that and see how it turns out.

@@horseshoe_nc That is some mighty fine, juicy knowledge you dropped there! Thanks for sharing! Also, long explanations are usually the best, so, yeah! :)

I wanna cry “I don’t know if they’re different brands” 😂😂😂

I see I'm not the only one that knows lol I like all the physics involved with the different types and weights of the balls and how it makes them go down the lane

That's exactly right I have a rhino that's offset so I can throw a curveball amazingly

@@RU-vidforcedmetochangemyname weight literally has nothing to do with anything

Actually the core causes flare so the ball does not roll end over end and wobbles on its axis so its not rolling over the same track to assist with traction providing the ball to roll over a dry spot on the ball...hool.come from pin placement and the weight block. The core causes flare

I thought he was making a bowling ball out of a bowling ball.

@@WadeAlma nope, its a "ballin' bowl".

Thank you! :)

Thank you Drew!

lol Thank you Sandi! Love the water feature idea!!

Since when are those "brands"?

Damn. You beat me to that punch line 😬

@@HelloKittyFanMan. Huh? "Brands"?

Yeah, you capitalized them. Why; did ya think they're brands or something like that? If so, then why?

@@HelloKittyFanMan. It's not for brands, it's more to put emphasis on those words, WITHOUT MAKING IT LOOK LIKE I'M SCREAMING LIKE THIS.

Thank you very much Stephen! It's an Easy Wood chuck with quick change jaws.

Pretty cool huh!?

I was just thinking this. My wife pays all sorts of silly money for yarn bowls turned from nice wood. A bowling ball version would surely appeal to some people out there!

I actually thought he might be making one since he left the hole, but alas I was slightly disappointed he didnt lol

Thank you Mark :)

Thank you very much!

Barely need one, this is clearly not a plastic that generates particularly small chips.

Thank you very much!

Thank you!

I don't have a good vacuum, but Carl has a great one lol

Robin Jacobson 🤣🤣🤣

Ya, my sister in-law knits and really wants one :)

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Thank you Mark! I started out in between centers and then put it in the chuck. I can explain it a little more on Tuesday Tip video.

Thanks for the like! love the vids keep up the good work

Thank you very much buddy!

Thank you Charlene :)

Thank you Robert!

Thank you!

Thank you!

hahaha Thank you! It's not that hard to clean up really :)

lol Love that!!

@@CarlJacobson If it was ever a marketable product, that would be the prime market. Maybe a Neiman's item? No two alike. Customize with "your name here." Pick them up at yard sales, and flea markets for a couple bucks and sell them for one-of-kind prices. Could make two from each ball...or make a super classy lamp... All kinds of ideas here.

Thank you very much!

Thank you brother!

I was thinking the same thing. You could use the thumb hole for the yarn exit and swirl a gap down to it.

@@shaunfreese2936 Thanks Do you think you need the gap thats a pretty big thumb hole !

Thank you Duane!

Thank you very much!

lol Thank you very much!!

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much Jeff!

Good idea Andrew!

Thank you very much!

lol

Thank you very much!

Thank you!

I came BACK to this video a day later just to LIKE this comment. 👍

Thank you very much Betty!

Thank you very much!

Naw. Just a ceramic or material core. I am a bowler.

Thank you very much!

Thank you!

Thank you!

lol Thank you Laurie!! Those were great!!

Someone should stop you while you're on a ROLL... clearly we're SPLIT down the middle here! No reason to FRAME it any other way and keep your mind out of the GUTTER!

Those are all great puns from both I can't think of any to add 😏

@@AnthonyTyger Bravo!

Why can't people just stay in their LANE they're are so many TURKEYS in the comments sometimes, This video was was no SLEEPER & didn't cross the FOUL LINE if X MARKS the spot this would get 12 X's in a row and be a PERFECT GAME. I liked this video some of the angles & edits reminded me of the movie 300!

Thank you!

Thank you Buddy!

Bowling pins probobly think so. LoL. ;)

Thank you! :)

Thank you very much Gustavo!

Because some might think you can't turn a real bowling ball and make a bowl.

Thank you!
