Can you turn GOLF BALLS into a ....???

In this wood turning or should say resin turning video, I will attempt to turn golf balls into a cool project. Was not too sure what to make out of them but during making the project I decided to make epoxy resin hybrid night lamp as the balls looked really cool and vibrant colours. I should have sanded the balls as the resin could not bond very well therefore I did not want to make the wall very thin.

Have you ever wood turned something and a large chunk of wood or epoxy come loose?

[@pradeepmurugesan3416]

Hi....what is the name of this turning machine? Any specific name for this lathe?

That actually turned out good. Also pretty cool seeing that each golf ball has a different colored core.

[@donnamealy4877]

Amazed this worked so well, considering what golf balls have inside! Your patience and creativity are admirable.

Golf balls have so many fillings, he’s lucky he didn’t get the ones that have actual hoop inside

[@r1learner178]

When seeing the beginning of the video, I didn't expect such a beautiful thing to be turned out. Very impressive. These balls have different colours inside? Who knew?!

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you very much!

[@therealbeedubbs35]

Any golfer that’s ever walked a course knows they’re all different on the inside. Thanks to Mr. Lawn Mower!

@@shelleywhite5229 various balls have multiple layers, hard/soft distance/control ect. Some materials inside top balls are proprietary and top secret, not cheating by any means but there is some balls that are illegal ie:cheating in tournaments.

Hello how are you doing?

[@John-oe5nb]

I learned the hard way to never, never get around lathes and mills with gloves on. Other than that, neat idea.

[@jcx5659]

I had a co-worker who ran the same lathe as me, only on first shift, who always wore gloves at work. I came in one day, and he wasn't there. Our boss came around and asked me to keep an eye open for any loose fingers. My co-worker lost four of them earlier that day. That was over 40 years ago......

[@alme6743]

Ive seen an aweful vid of a guy getting sucked into a lathe hes turning pipe on, it turned him into chunks man so bad. Dont wear long sleevs/gloves or have long hair around lathes!!

[@piotrbazucki4080]

I always work on our machines in cotton t-shirt , i dont wear glowes , any jewelery ( not even a weding ring) always in protective glasses. Its very dangerous work- and its getting more dangerous with time as you get used to it, get more confidence work faster to earn more etc.

[@gringocatracho]

Never wear gloves around most tools is what I learned early. Especially anything rotary.

I was imagining this as a mug, then u flipped it over and threw me off lol. wish I had the lathe and knowledge to do this, so many ideas so little $$

[@drlegendre]

This surprises me. From what I know of golf ball construction, this shouldn't be possible.
I guess they must be made differently today from when I was a kid.

[@henrytheeightheist8091]

I remember them having a sort of spongy 'honeycomb' interior.

[@deadmagenta7042]

Yeah some used to have a core of wound rubber bands.

[@drlegendre]

@@deadmagenta7042 Yes, that's exactly what I found. IIRC, the rubber bands surrounded a hard rubber core which was itself hollow and liquid-filled.

[@vibrantbutterflybeau]

Yeah I expected them to explode from the pressure release. Lol

[@sidviciousness7469]

The ultimate golfer's gift!
Well done, sir!

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you 😀

[@rb032682]

Very cool. I was thinking it would be very weird if you used golf balls with the old style of construction. In the 1950s, most golf balls were made with a liquid center wrapped in thousands of feet of rubber bands. Those old-style balls were likely not turn-able.

[@kevinsellsit5584]

That was my exact thought. If the rubber decided to eject itself into the blade it could get exciting pretty quickly. I've seen more modern golf balls that the inner core would ooze out like a snake as well. Hopefully that is just a beautiful lamp and not a time b_ _ b.

[@Amitaluna]

Never thought, that golfballs are so wonderful coloured inside 😲

[@stebstebanesier6205]

What I find most interesting about these "Encase Twinkies, nails, pull tabs or macaroni and cheese in resin and turn it on the lathe" videos is the accuracy of mixing the proper amount of resin.

[@joyceledbetter6617]

That is so cool!!! Very creative!

[@WoodyLockwood_Vlogs]

Super Cool

[@get2dachoppa249]

Always admire the creativity. I showed this to coworker whose an avid golfer, and interestingly, he was much more interested in the piece when it first came out of the mold, complete golf balls suspended in resin.

[@keara.ls3]

That looks so cool! And the golf balls kind of look like the layers of jawbreakers. Great work!

[@oneshotme]

Looks great David!!
The inside looks a lot different that the last time I took one apart lol I thought there was going to be rubber band strands everywhere hahaha
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thanks 👍 It was one or two with rubber bands but cut the lamp short as it did stay in one piece

[@oneshotme]

​@@DavidsWoodturning You are welcome buddy

[@ghosthand8119]

@@DavidsWoodturning I've pulled golf ball apart before and was wondering if they were the ones with rubber bands. Then when you turned them I saw they were the solid core type. I wish you would have shown the rubber band balls and what happened when you turned into them.

[@Luigi2024]

​@@ghosthand8119 All modern golf balls are unfortunately solid core; the old-school wound types went away around the turn of the millennium with the advent of multi-layer golf balls like the Titleist ProV1. If any company still makes wound core golf balls, they are likely for novelty reasons and are probably *very* expensive.

[@daddypig.5796]

I was big into golf as a kid. Growing up a few doors away from a well known course and caddying there all the time. I’ve chopped loads of balls up. I remember some had a strange sack of oil type fluid at the centre.

[@corteznichols6856]

You have a wonderful gift man.

They obviously make golf balls differently than when I was a lad. they used to be full of elastic bands with a liquid rubber center. I don't think this would have worked as well with that! :)

I just love this. My late dad was a golfer and never found a golf ball that he brought home. After he passed away, i donated at least 50 boxes of new balls to charities for gift bags at tournaments. However, I still have about 300 lose golf balls. At hone point i had them displayed in a HUGE glass ikea vase, but would really love to find another way to create a memory for my family. If i were rich - they'd all have one of these~!

Resin is fun. Liquid plastic is fun too. My husband makes soft plastic fishing baits. Uses pigments, mica etc and sometimes epoxy resin to make them along with silicone to make molds. Very cool.
