JimErn Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 JT thanks for make me think. I enjoyed figuring out how to do this, especially when I found a solid center golf ball! When those rubber bands started pouring out of the first one I drilled, just started the hell out of me. <smile> 3Dface, Gonzo, OCtoolguy and 4 others 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new2woodwrk Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) That looks like a great seller - I really like that! I'm going to guess how you did it - feel free to correct me if you want to share. Forstner bit on the ball, insert clock, cut and rout base, drill hole, cut tee to size and glue tee to hole, glue ball to tee Maybe not in that order Am I close?

JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Hey Jim that came out great. Your welcome and glad to be of help. See I knew you could do it. Yes getting the right golf ball is key. They are good sellers because many people golf these days. Now if you have a golf center near you they usually have old glub heads that they repair. May not hurt to ask if they would be willing to make a deal. Many ideas you can do with that theme. I am working on a golfers pen. and a stand for it. Thanks for showing. new2woodwrk and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not have a band saw, which is what JT said he used, so I had to work around that limitation, centering the forestner bit is the key thing, I got lucky and thought that through from the start. new2woodwrk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 That sure is a neat idea. And one has to be careful to use a solid core ball. some of them have a liquid middle and shoots all over the place when you drill into them. Quite the mess when that happens.
