I bowled with a HOME-MADE Bowling Ball

I have thrown thousands of bowling balls in my life but I've never made my own until now how do you even make a bowling ball the mold is then pumped full of a special white liquid oh you know what I'm talking about it's liquid plastic what did you think I was talking about anyway the molds full of industrial strength chiz will solidify around the core over a series of days then it's time to remove the cores from their molds all right so the first thing we need to do is make a mold of a bowling ball so I just ordered a silicone mold kit that I'll be here in 4 days so I'll see you in 4 days four days [Applause] later so we are making a mold of the rotor grip clone which is ironic because we're cloning the [Music] Clone anyway I've never tried this before so this should be interesting [Music] gloves match my shirt all right we need to cover the entire bowling ball there has to be a faster [Music] way genius Let's Go technology this liquid looks very sus all right so the bling ball is now approximately halfway submerged in the mold solution now we have to wait 24 hours and come back into the last half so I'm going [Music] snowboarding well that was fun the first layer of the mold is officially complete it's been a full day and the mold is set so we can start on the second half so there is the first half of the mold so round two of an hour of mixing and pouring silicone [Music] [Applause] mold I brought my cat a yeah I hope this drill doesn't scare her away I think it might we'll find out in about 2 seconds mama no it scared her away [Applause] stop [Music] spinning here we go the last pour of the molds all right I lied there's still one more dang it this should be the actual last pour how is it still not all right this should be the actual actual last pour Wow might still too be be too thin we still need one more just in case all right that should definitely do it I'll do one more just in case all right so that's the last pour for sure now have to go away for 24 hours let this do its thing we can come back tomorrow and work on part two all right the next day [Applause] so the two halves were supposed to be able to be separated easily it seems like they got fused together somehow so I think I did something wrong the next day all right so the way I see it is I have two options I either need to cut the mold in half and risk losing part of the mold and making an oddly shaped bowling ball or I need to get the mold to give birth to the bowling ball through that little hole which I don't know if that's possible but I have constructed a little ghetto jaws of life here and we're going to try to see if we can pull it out of that hole somehow oh my God bro oh hell no I guess we're going to cut it in half and risk ring the molds but I don't see another option we could also break the bowling ball and pull it out chunk by chunk that could be an option should I break the bowling ball [Music] bro St ow we're getting close I can almost tast [Music] [Applause] it there we go [Music] so my fingers and my thumb why does it look so wrong all right so now that we have the mold all by itself with no bowling ball inside of it we once again need to mix stuff so our mold is finally full of epoxy resin so the curing time says it takes 72 hours to totally cure and Harden but we're going to give it a full week just in case cuz this is super dense I don't think it's meant to be used in such a huge mass but we're doing it anyway we're giving it a week to harden and we'll come back and pry out of here so I'll see you in a week all right it's been almost a week and it feels pretty hard so unfortunately this time we can't destroy the bowling ball to get it out so we have to cut open the mold so I have my trusty Japanese sword and we're going to get this bowling bowl out all right change of plans power tools it's not that [Music] funny oh yeah let's go there we are my thumb is already molded into the ball perfectly we just need to install some grips nice so much work finishing off with a 4,000 grrip pad [Music] all right so the homemade bowling ball is weighing it at 12.6 lb [Music] [Applause] 12.6 it's been almost a month but we finally got our rotor grip clone clone so there is is a slight flat spot on the side of the ball right here I'm hoping the ball doesn't roll over it when I throw it but we'll find out right now all right so we're here with the clone of the rot grip clone but first we're going to warm up with a regular ball and see what the lanes are doing so we got the hype solid [Music] [Music] jeez all right so we're now decently lined up with a hype solid it's time for the first shot with the clone of the Clone [Music] [Music] it's definitely rolling over the flat spot a see your ORD ready you might be able to get away with it if you tilt your hand all the way this [Music] way oh that actually good that was impressive all right that might be the play I don't think the other way is the play no definitely not right so the ball does roll over the flat spot when I bow normally and you can hear that loud thking when it goes down the lane so the only way for me to throw this is to throw it two-handed and twist my wrist so it kind of misses the flat spot rolls over it this way so that's what we're going to do and the game starts now [Music] it's still was over the flat spot you can hear it picking up on the Lan it's sunking oh man a spare ball hype [Music] solid not a very good start for the homemade bowling ball over under 150 for this game [Music] oh my gosh it's like funky and bouncing ah so bad all right so this happens off camera so you can't see it but you can kind of hear it an African-American lady approaches me looks me dead in the eye and asks me a question that totally throws me [Music] off oh oh man I'm so caught off guard the only reply I can think of is I do love [Music] chocolate and then I quickly run away from the interaction to go bowl oh jeez and throw it in the freaking gutter bear don't flirt with me when I'm bowling I get nervous I was distracted by the chocolate your attention please that's better shots hook oh man so please do not cross the F line Andes at all it also doesn't hook nearly as much as I thought it would since it is fully resin I thought it would curve a little bit more but we're not seeing too much action out of [Music] it yes nice throw our first strike with our homemade bowling ball let's go Pock it yes our first double with the homemade bowling ball let's [Music] go nice throw we strike out we still have 233 we could still possibly have a pretty good game [Music] oh what am I doing man that was an awesome leave three ah man oh there goes at 230 now we only have a 199 [Music] maximum here [Music] we could be on a five bagger but we had a 5810 [Music] what clack all right we salvaged a decent game considering I gutter on a spare I got her five on a spare that's it's pretty gnarly 177 not terrible but we're done with this ball for now so I now hold the world record for the highest game ever bowled with a homemade bowling ball and I think I can use this mold again I think I want to try to make another one where the the flat spot doesn't exist I think I know how to do it and I also want to try to put a core inside so let me know if you guys want to see that make sure to like And subscribe check out the
