Polished Japanese Foil Ball Challenge - FarmCraft Style

hey welcome to farm craft I don't know if you've seen but going around YouTube recently there is this Japanese polished foil balls challenge basically you take a roll of tin foil roll it up into a ball you compress it my various means and then you polish it to a shine I see all these people doing it and they're not doing it right so we're gonna do it farm craft style that is the entire roll now we're gonna see how close we can get this to the actual density of aluminum but we're going to use some assistance I don't know what an arbor press will do to it but we can find out pretty hard pretty dense but we can do a lot better than that it's really pretty amazing how hard that is now the problem is it keeps pushing out sideways if it keeps doing that I may have to put something around it to contain it better I've got this adjustable bearing housing I am going to try to use it to compress it into a cylinder that's cool it even sounds like metal now we're gonna crush it I'm gonna cut that off and then I can squeeze it over more hear that noise that's the relief valve I met my 20 tonnes it's not going to get any tighter than that feels like I'm pounding on a block of aluminum now if I push directly with that I should have a higher psi all right now we need to do the same thing to this side all right now the big question can I get it out and can I make it round there went well no that surprises me all those voids in there and spite all that force so now can I make that round I think I'm gonna have to use the press to get round it's ugly but I still have my secret weapon all right so this is a little disappointing what I was hoping would happen was I'd be able to compress this enough into a metal almost like a malleable solid metal shape that I could then crunch it into a sphere and and use oxy-acetylene and melt the edges to get it back into a ball-shaped but it's just not gonna work so what I'm gonna do I'm gonna see what density I was able to achieve here three and a half inches tall yeah about three and a half inches around thirty three point seven cubic inches so it weighs two pounds three point four ounces 0.095 three pounds per cubic inch so let's see what the density of aluminum is aluminum is 0.09 eight pounds per cubic inch I got point oh nine five and that gives you an idea and this thing feels very solid it's close to solid metal so what do I do with this I could give up I actually thought about it but uh giving up is not something I do very often sometimes it's the right move you gotta know when to hold them know when to fold them but uh I got another trick up my sleeve for this before I do it though I'm gonna cut this right down the middle with my bandsaw and just get a look at the inside and then I'm gonna go on to my last trick and that one's gonna work that is really cool somehow I had a void here but the inside of that thing is solid that is really interesting that is a solid piece but now we're going to go on to my final secret weapon [Music] so I intentionally didn't Deek asset or flux it or anything because I'm already cheating by melting it it felt like I'd really be cheating to do all that that is cool so because this was my pattern the the metal one is going to be about three percent smaller due to shrinkage as it cools there's little casting defects in it but it's really smooth enough nice I think that looks awesome 400 so this is my buffing compound [Music] what do I do with this thing you want me to crush it in the press don't you I'm not ready for all that leave a comment below what you think I should do with this thanks for watching [Music] I'm gonna take one of these seemingly solid inner pieces and crunch it down I think it's gonna break apart some see what happens yes you can see the layers come out once you start to crush it yeah even that's just going to come apart [Music]
