00:00Stop scrolling.
00:01What you are about to see is not four balls glued together.
00:03This is one solid block of wood, and for the next three minutes,
00:07I have to turn it into four perfect spheres without snapping it.
00:10One mistake, and it's over.
00:12Every masterpiece starts ugly.
00:14I take this rough, square block of teak and mount it on the lathe.
00:18My first job is simple but critical.
00:20I have to make it perfectly cylindrical.
00:22If it's not 100% round and smooth here, nothing else will work.
00:26I take off the corners, layer by layer.
00:28You can see all the waste flying off.
00:31Now I need to plan.
00:32I mark out where my four spheres will live.
00:35I make the first deep cuts to separate them.
00:37This is all about symmetry.
00:39Now, let's shape the bottom one.
00:41I slowly work the chisel, rolling it.
00:44Until I get a perfect ball.
00:46Beautiful.
00:47I do the same for the top one.
00:49Okay, to down.
00:50The easy part is over.
00:52This is where 90% of woodturners quit.
00:55I have to work on the middle section.
00:57Look how thin the connection is getting.
01:00It's now thinner than a pencil, thinner than a toothpick.
01:03The entire piece is shaking.
01:05The lathe is spinning at over 1000 RPM.
01:08Right here, I need to create a tiny, delicate little spindles to connect the spheres.
01:13My hands cannot shake.
01:15My breathing has to be steady.
01:17If I push just a little too hard with the chisel dot dot dot snap, everything breaks.
01:23This is pure focus.
01:24I survive.
01:25The shape is done.
01:27Now it's time to bring it to life.
01:29First, I sand it.
01:30I go from rough to super fine grit, until it's smoother than glass.
01:35All that dust.
01:36That's the final layer.
01:37And now, the secret weapon.
01:39A little bit of Danish wall.
01:41Watch closely.
01:43Just dot dot dot.
01:44Watch the grain.
01:45Look at that golden color pop out of nowhere.
01:48This is why we do it.
01:50So there it is.
01:51From a square block of wood destined for firewood.
01:54Into four perfect, connected spheres.
01:56One piece.
01:57No glue.
01:58No tricks.
01:59Just patience.
02:01Sharp tools.
02:01And a lot of respect for the wood.
02:04Honestly, my heart is still beating fast.
02:06Do you think I should try five spheres next time?
02:10Let me know in the comments if I should try it.
02:12.
02:13.
02:15.
02:16.
02:16.
02:17.
02:18.
02:19Terima kasih.
