I made Insane Pool Ball out of Stainless , Copper and Epoxy Resin - Lathe Turning Ball
In this video I make a no. 15 pool ball out of stainless steel , copper and epoxy resin.
After seeing @mymechanics 8 ball video , I told myself that I have to make a ball out of it too because it is very challenging in the machinist field. The only thing I had to do was to find a way to use different techniques from My Mechanics, firstly so as not to copy his work and secondly but not least , those of you who watch our videos, see different techniques but also a different video . So I started thinking about how to make this ball differently, I made the plan and executed it. The result was more than satisfactory, it was a fulfillment of my work and I hope you will like it, both the video and the ball.
thanks for your patience to read this and hopefully you will watch the video. Cheers !

Instead of restoring something old/broken, I'd love to see you design/make something you've always wanted *from scratch.* Something unique to you from your past, the shop, or life outside the shop-anything you like via: *"I make a new one."* Especially if it involved using items you've restored in past videos. jmo

Yes, it would be interesting to see how well they play. I expect with the hard surface it would be very similar to a resin ball. The weight may affect play (for good players) as the distance would be different for a similar power.

Diersta just made a billiards table recently. I think it would be amazing if there was a collaboration between a bunch of makers to make the rest of the balls needed to have a full set for billiards and then a game was played using these metal balls on his table. Well maybe he could make a sacrificial table to play on. I don't think a normal table would survive having metal balls used.
