You should take those shavings and put them into resin. Make an Ironic Bowling Pin out of them.
Mm
I else Tomeeud
Kiyochii Hosokaowa striking idea!!,
“ striking” idea
Love this idea!
YESSSS!
Is it just me or should he have cut in the finger holes for the lid?
Or cast a small ten pin in resin
Good idea.
@@JohnSimpson36 Yeah or he could turn a small pin on the lathe. A bowling nut would love that.
I agree, I had flashbacks to when I was a furry when I saw that
Or used a tiny bowling ball on top of a pin
Missed opportunity to call it “The Bowling Bowl”
Exactly what I was about to write!! ❤️
He called it that towards the end
22:23 he says bowling bowl pot...
i just wrote that before scrolling the comments
I know you're probably not gonna see this, Nick, but your energy and your woodworking has really been a shining light in the darkness of my life lately. You never fail to make me smile and make my day a bit more bearable with your shenanigans. And I wanted to say thank you. For always being so bright and cheery and loud and all around amazing.
Same for me! His videos always put me in a better mood!
Me too! I saw another video where he said someone asked why he can't be "normal". Why should he be? That's boring! It's the antics and silliness that make his videos so appealing. I start my day with my coffee and a Nick Zammeti project. Then I have a smile on my face all day. :)
I can't be the only one who comments this but... JAWBREAKERS. Nick, you gotta find the biggest jawbreaker and turn it. Maybe coat it in resin to keep it from splintering? Or maybe toss a bunch of smaller jawbreakers in resin!
A giant jawbreaker pot to hold smaller jawbreakers.
Hahaha I was just going to comment anyone else thinking jawbreaker when he cut it open 😁
OML Yes! That would be sooo cool to see:) ☮🐱
A big pink jawbreaker!
Yes please!
I always though the center of bowling balls were filled with concrete. But doing some research resulted in this:
"In general, the inner core is made of powdered metal oxides such as calcium or iron oxide mixed with a resin and catalyst to harden the mixture. This is the heaviest part of the ball, and its shape-whether symmetric like a sphere or asymmetric like a lightbulb-influences how the ball rotates down the lane."
*Oh and HUGE thanks for the newly added music/track list!*
@the marble racer How was your use of the word "read" meant to be read? Because your statement can be read two ways.
Did you mean the word "read" to sound like it is used in this sentence: "He planned to read the book..."
OR did you mean it to be read as "He read the book"
This would've made a really nice urn for a bowling fan
So bowling balls are made from silly string?! Who knew?! 🤪😁 enjoy all the cool, funky stuff you make!
No silly, all silly string is made from bowling balls... pffft duh! /s
Bowling balls are weighted to one side so that "anomaly" is actually a design feature
This is true mostly, The white bit is part of the "core" which has a wide range of shapes, locations and materials all depends on how expensive the ball is and how and by whom it will be used
Even the cheap balls need a counterweight to keep them from sliding.
The white dots on the surface also gives a reference as to where the drill the finger holes depending on how much you want the ball to curve or hook.
Shaun Kennedy all bowling balls are evenly weighted until you drill the ball. That’s what a weight hole is for.
Kimmie Fillers Not true. All balls are different and not weighted evenly. Different shaped and weighted cores depending on how aggressive the bowler likes the ball to hook.
Anyone else thinking "Make a bowling pin finial!" ?? or is that too obvious.... Love this project. I only watch to see you making an unholy mess.
I was thinking the same! Not too keen on the final finial 🙄
The Final Finial. Good name for a band. : )
That was my first thought as well!
YES!!!! Sorry, Nick, but I was actually starting to yell at you for not making a pin final. The final one kinda makes it look less like a bowling ball and more like a funky apple statue. Love the mess, and very interested to see what you recycle the shavings into...
You're not the only one lol.
As someone who used to bowl I find it really satisfying to see bowling balls being made into other things.
Omg I watched one of your older videos from like 2 years ago and wow you were so shy but now you are so funny and one of my favourite channels to watch! 💕💕💕
You missed an opportunity to make the top a bowling pin shape
Awwweeeeeee! Good idea
Aw I cant believe he didn’t think of that. 😕
Joeseph Whetsel dam yes 😳
@@nickzammeti glad to see a reply thanks for the fun videos and funky stuff you do... I still liked the pot the way you did it... keep up the good work... I inspire to be as creative as you along as teaching my kids ways to create like you do
That's what I was thinking a little pin lid handle
That turned out awesome! Thanks for the shout out brother!
Carl Jacobson hey thanks for the inspiration on this one buddy 👍🏽🎺🎺
i dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know a method to get back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid lost my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Jasiah Marvin Instablaster =)
@Ezekiel Randy i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Ezekiel Randy it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account!
The outside cover is resin. The pink core is urethane. That grey bit inside is the weight block, and they are usually some type of denser ceramic. That’s what helps the ball hook. It’s centered on that white dot on the outside, so if you would have turned with that at the very bottom it would have been symmetrical inside. Cheaper balls like this have a smaller weight block, but if you would have had a more expensive one that ceramic could have been ultra hard and a weird shape. Cool project!
8:58 I am pretty sure this is a material with a higher or lower density so that the ball is off balance. This helps bowlers to get good spin on the ball and get good curves into the strike zone. :)
Yup. It's a weight to help with spin and curving the ball.
It's called a weight block
lol came here to say this.
That's neat! Thanks for the info.
*sees the signature "hiding the Yorkshire Grit" bit after a long while* It's about time! I agree with someone else, a mini bowling pin finial would have been epic!
Kandi Piatkowski 😂😂🎺🎺🎺
I think it would have looked nice with some walnut in between the lid and the pot. It also would have worked to replace the material lost in the chip out.
Felicity Forbes I was thinking the same thing. Add a bit of wood to make the lid bigger
My thought exactly
Wholeheartedly agree. Would make for a nice follow-up video too.
..and maybe put some resin filler in the hole Nick got in his hand as blowout happened. That could've been a nasty injury but we're thinking about the pot rather than if his hand is sore, aww. A similar thing happened LIVE to "WorthEffort" who recoiled in pain when a splinter broke the skin. A reminder to always wear protective eyewear etc.
I was waiting for a wooden ring as well. Great work & energy as always.
This is pretty cool. But I would have made the finial look like a bowling pin!
The handle is ever so slightly phallic and I can't not see it. Otherwise amazing bowl
That handle will make some lady friend very happy
Too pointy
A nice vampire stake.
I swear everytime he makes one it starts out extremely phallic and I always find myself laughing 😂
Almost reminds me of the mouthpiece of a clarinet
You definitely need to watch “how it’s made” bowling balls!! Beautiful finish though, love the videos. Keep up the amazing work!!
I was about to say this, too! It explains what all the parts are and why they're there.
I was thinking that, as well! Used to binge watch that show lol
That was filmed in my town! Which did not have a suitable bowling alley at the time, strange but true. They had to travel a few towns away to run play tests. The alley has changed hands now and has been refurbished. Not sure if Ebonite has started to use it though.
Save the shavings for a future video. I think they would look cool in a glow in the dark pot or something
The scraps from the bowling ball should Definitely go into something cool!
could you make a lamp with pine cones and resin? I think something like that could look pretty funky.
Funky funky!
Could you please try mixing yarn in resin to make a bowl or pot? I think using different colours and it would make all sorts of different lines it could look really interesting.
I made one and it looks pretty cool!
Thid is a good. Idea.
Peter brown did something like that with yarn and resin, it was pretty cool :)
Am I the ONLY one that sees a GIANT CHERRY after the finial got put on. Lol love it!
jeannette katt I was thinking apples!
@@oj_ob I was thinking apples until the end. An apple stem has the bulb at the top of the stem where its at the bottom on a cherry. Lol I know I know. I over thought it lol
Happy days!!! Why do I still get so excited when you sneak out the Yorkshire Grit in funky ways 😂 Your videos just keep getting better and better, and your new place is fabulous. You Nick are a very blessed man♥
VonDa in Wonderland hahahah thank you xx
10:50 if you really want to give the inside a nice shine, finish hollowing it out and then give it a smooth, thin coating of resin and sand/buff the resin to a nice glossy shine...
A resin coating will also keep the core from contaminating (or being stained by) whatever is stored in the pot.
Watch How Its Made. It's a show and it will show you how bowling balls are made. If I remember correctly it has weighted stuff on the inside and also some.of the filler absorb the energy so it doesnt break when its tossed down
Bowling balls are weighted differently depending on its final job. A "lane ball" or "house ball" will probably be used by less experienced people, so they will generally roll pretty straight. A pro's ball, though, may be weighted to have a major curve to it.
Yeah I was rather horrified in the beginning with him not knowing if it was uniform throughout, let alone the asymmetries. Scary to just slap something on a lathe. And I do know machining and woodworking.
Damn Nick perfect timing I just cracked my first beer and this popped up in my phone👍🏻
Cheers mate🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
I love it that great DIY'ers like you guys watch each others posts. Great videos from both. Thank you for taking your time out to inspire the little guys.
Charles Dunkelberger Well it’s good you watch us both then my friend😁👍🏻
@@bigstackD You made the key to One Eyed Willy's treasure? Sweet!
Those shavings could make for a funky project
Im so glad you chose to not use the pink one. I was like 'eeeehhhh no Nick, not this one'. And when you decided to use something else, I was like 'YES, THIS IS WHAT THIS POT NEEDED.'
Absolutely beautiful piece.🖤
it's actually quite funny to see you get covered in spagetti over and over again XD
but it's a sign for a good and sharp tool ;)
should've made the handle a bowling pin.
I saw this and instantly thought... That's a pumpkin.... So here's an idea, whenever Halloween rolls around, make a similar one with orange and black and cut out the little crease doodads. I think that a pumpkin bowling ball would look really cool!!
I tell myself every time I watch that I'm just going to skip to the end, but every single time I'm just mesmerized and watch the entire thing, sometimes twice lol.
I hope you saved the shavings from this. It would make a great blank.
Showed your videos to a few of the troops over here in the states and they where going bonkers, they couldn't stop laughing. Love what your doing brother, keep up the good work.
Cheers!
These videos are so relaxing. After a long day I watch a few an all the annoying parts of my day melt away. It’s also really cool what gets made.
This is my first ti.e watching him and I feel like he needs more support for what hes doing hes hilarious
The white “anomaly” you found when you parted the lid is actually the weight that is inside the ball to make it curve when you throw it. FYI
I really hope you see this comment. I really think you could make something cool with all those shavings and resin. Keep up the good work 🖤
Nick and Bobby have the same chaotic good energy lol
Small bowling ball lesson for ya. All bowling balls have a core or weight block on the inside. The coverstock is typically made out of a resin or urethane material. That grey part in the middle is the core or the weight block. Judging by the markings on your ball, you have a symmetrical weight block. The science behind bowling balls are kind of awesome really
Here's a challenge for you make a pot out of a golf ball
I love this!
Ya know, it makes me think of the poisoned apple from Snow White!
So cool! Well done, Nick!
It's BEAUTIFUL, Mr Z! And you have, with this project, let me know, after ages of wondering, what's inside bowling balls. And now that you've explained what "waffling" is, I give you my overwhelming support for it. It's fun, witty, and wild. WAFFLE ON!
Nick - Your level of craftsmanship is amazing! Love your creativity.
You did great, I tried my first bowling ball , went a millimeter or 2 to deep and watched it fly across the shop and become a fragmentation grenade!!!
Can you post the Etsy seller name for your emblems, I could not find it, of course I Americanized the spelling!!
Keep it up I continually try your demos and welcome mor
I was gonna make a clever Bog Lebowski reference but I'm completely out of my element.
i am deeply inspired sir. you are re using wood and saving environment and making good use of things we throw daily is something that needs courage. Your craft is gifted coz you practice and work on it each day. Thanks sir for motivating artists today and forever!
This project turned out awesome!! Great job, as always!
You have never tried to combine some kind of fabric with your projects(lace or some fluffy material could look cool with wood
Oooh that would be nice!
Awesome job Nick kinda looks like a psychedelic apple. to everyone please watch entire video it also helps the creators 👍👍
The "white patch" on the inside is the weight block. For reference, the white dot on the outside is the CG.
Very cool project, Nick. I like how it turned out. Your imagination is what sets you apart.
Like you, this is truly one of a kind and amazing! I absolutely love how creative you are!
Sarah Storm hey thank you sooooonmuch xx
i dont understand why most of his bowls are always so shallow in depth.......im mean (at least visualy) it looks as if he could go at least another inch deeper
I agree , he could have hollowed it out until he cut back into the resin again, I saw a guy do it here on CZcams and his was really deep and when he polished it up you could almost see through it, it was awesome
This one seems very shallow compared to others Ive seen of his. Maybe the concrete type stuff was hard to work with?
that's what she said
Man, though....if you’d collaborated with Dukey (Bobby Duke Arts), he could’ve made you one of those crazy carved flames for the finial as it looks a lot like an oil lamp.
A Bowling-Bowl! I absolutely LOVE IT ♥ ♥ ♥
I bet your wife or girlfriend never gets bored of you cause your funny nice work
So I'm getting a "beginners" lathe at the end of the month for my 40th!! Literally can't wait now 👌🏻😍 keep up the fantastic work 🤙🏻
Is this how they make the string that is in party poppers?
Exactly how.
That turned out Absolutely Gorgeous! Sweet!
Okay I think this is a beautiful pot and great idea, but who else thinks that handle ruins the look? 🙋♀️🙋♂️🙋♀️
I personally would have chosen a short sphere type handle or something like that, but that's might just be me.
The grey stuff is the core of the bowling ball. It's what gives it the weight that it needs to be rolled properly. It looks like this was an asymmetrical cored ball. Oh, and the white spot on the ball is the mass bias indicator.
... And again, many greetings and best wishes from Germany 😊
Servus
@@sams3346 servus 😅
That does look awesome nick. I think your daughter would love it in her room
Looks like a tie-dye cookie jar. love it
What a fantastic project! I think the pot turned out quite lovely, I love the colours. And I am really happy you didn't make a bowling pin handle for the pot top. This way anyone would be happy to have it in their home instead of it being niche.
Thanks for the video, Nick.
♥
I was always wondering if you can woodturn a book. Should be possible somehow, right?
Far out! Such a cool idea! This came out beautiful! Aladdins bowl is what I call it. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
All I can see when I look at the final product is a candy apple. 😂
My word, that is a fantastically oversized finneal!
I think the small resin chunk would have come out better - I find that resin like that tends to be a bit too brittle to carve out with carbide, much better to use the skew.
The ball came out looking great - but I think you definitely need to work on getting things thinner! the last couple of things you've turned on this size have been well over an inch thick at the walls. You're a fantastically talented turner, and I'm sure you could get much finer work if you kept at it a bit more.
also, you and I both know - gloves on the lathe??
Looking forward to seeing the next wacky thing you put your seal in. You always give me some really good inspiration. Keep up the good work!
you can make also a halloween pumpin from it, almost same shape
Another commenter said it reminded them of an apple, and I really like that! If you had cast/carved a stem with leaves for the finial, it would make an absolutely EPIC present/award for a teacher!
I also agree with sealing the inside with just a thin coat of resin, as I have no idea how porous (or not) the inner urethane is.
Regardless, I'm a recent addition to your fan base, and I love everything about your channel - your upbeat, adventurous, and comedic attitude, your beautiful art, and even the educational aspects because you document the whole process. Every video makes me wanna beg the husband to get me a workshop like yours so that I could try and make beautiful art as well! Please keep being you, and doin' your thing!
My first thought was of a rainbow pumpkin!!
The first bowling bowl, love it.
You should put like shavings in export like the colorful ones off of this and see if that colors it or not
P.S. not sure if someone already said this or not but it would be cool to see
Omg love ur videos! Ur so creative.keep up the good work👍🏼
That finial looks like it's destined to be Exhibit A in a murder trial! 😦
🤣🤣💯
Bowling Bowl......You know, Ball...but with a Nick Zammeti accent: Ball=Bowl....!!!!! I love it !!!!! Great work like always!! Love the ´´differentness’´ of this channel and definitely love the horn!!!!! Happy Days !!
Can you please put a link to that Etsy page as when I tried to search for it I couldn't find it thank you in advance
That would be handy. Couldn't find it either
Vlad Bigovic search von Hanke branding iron but I will
@@nickzammeti yeah I tried that and it wouldn't find him. I'll try again now 🤘
Found him❤🤘🤘
Etsy seems to have a selective search engine. Finally his shop came up in a list. Really weird I have looked at my spellings and for the last 4 searches spelt the name correctly... strange. Anyway finally found his etsy shop 😁
Nick I'm not judging but...well the finial looks a bit like a wooden red rocket...
lmmfao true
Most of his finials do.
I love your humor!
Love watching your channel Nick not only for your craftsmanship and artistry, but your humor. I agree with Wisprin that the finial is phallic-looking, but again you did turn a ball so I guess the phallic goes hand in hand so to speak.🤔😳😱😂👍🍻
I have some bowling alley lane wood I can send you Nick. You could turn a bowling pin 🎳 for the top.
pot, just pot, nothing else, only pot
Carl is a turning God, you're blessed to be emulating his projects. Peace be upon you.
I can't believe you cut into the bowling ball. It's great idea.

CZcams, go home
The shavings are so pretty! I hope you saved them for another project.
That's absolutely gorgeous and lovely colours. 😍 ❤❤
I LOVE this, Nick. It looks sort of like a candied apple.
Again, a beautiful end product! 💜💜💜
Very funky I love how when you first take the lid off it kind of looks like a jawbreaker candy
Oh Nick, if you had just watched a bit of "How its made", you would not have been the least bit surprised about the interior of that little ball.
My toddler loves you ! He can watch your videos for hours he loves funky colors and the fun way you are . He’s gotta be your youngest fan at 2 1/2 lol
Once again I'm not sure what to make of it till the end then..... BOOM! Simply lovely!
Yes! Super cool.
Love this piece and the colors. Definitely would buy a hundred times.
Missed opportunity: finial being a small bowling pin. Very beautiful work.
