In this video, the host aims to create a perfect wooden ball using a homemade wood lathe. The process begins by selecting a wooden trunk and preparing it for transformation. The host then constructs a wooden structure to hold the drill that will spin the trunk into a sphere. This structure is robust and requires a powerful drill, which the host uses to start the lathe.
The process is challenging and requires careful attention to ensure the wood rotates around its own axis, not the drill. The host also needs to ensure the wood doesn't shake too much, which could cause it to escape. The wooden trunk is then separated and drilled, with special attention paid to the drill's main tip and two little horns on the side. These are crucial as they attract the wood and ensure it rotates properly.
After the initial cutting and drilling, the host uses a chisel to carve the wood while it spins. The host also makes an improvised support for the drill to prevent it from wobbling or breaking. The host then uses a grinder and sandpaper to smooth the wood and remove any bumps or uneven surfaces.
The host then uses furniture wax to polish the wood, followed by a thin layer of plush for a final touch. The final product is a beautiful wooden ball, with visible layers of the tree's growth. The host also creates a perfect ball of mud, known as a dorodango, which they have been working on for over a year.
