How To Build A Billiard Ball Polisher

[zenqra]

Does this method of cleaning balls prematurely wears the balls out? Why do all the ball washers that are sold commercially separate the balls and does not allow them to hit each other during the cleaning process?

AWESOME video. My table is in a basement where it stays fairly cool (low 60's) and I was thinking it was playing so slow due to the temperature and possibly humidity. I made the ball cleaner and cleaned my cloth with a damp towel... OMG!! It plays great now. THANKS so much. Keep the vids coming.

Maaaaaan... This ROCKS. My table is in my basement where it stays cool and moderately humid which causes the balls to play super sticky. I know they play better when I clean them, but cleaning by hand is a P in the A. I have an old orbital buffer in the garage and going to make one of these this weekend. THANK YOU!!!

I could not find the part list in the website, I think your polisher is really good, but I would like to know what parts you used? Do you have like a shopping list?

after seeing a couple of videos like this one, i built the same thing, it is very easy to do, it takes a maximum of an hour to do. i built a small 8 ball rack for just buffing the balls it works great, oh it gets loud and shaky. great job force follow mine works exactly the same, except I built it.

Any great advantage in using a machine polisher over just cleaning and polishing the balls myself by hand? Only requires a few minutes every couple of weeks.

I use 'Turtle Wax F21 Car Polish' on the cue ball and 'Novus Plastic Clean & Shine' on the object balls. The former provides urethane polymers to fill tiny scuffs & scratches, while the latter is a bit more gentle. A quick wipe with soft cloth between polishes maintains the brilliant shine.

Do we want to CLEAN balls before POLISHING?

I built my Polisher this weekend. It actually was as easy as you showed. All 15 balls as well as the cue ball - fits in it at the same time. I believe my total cost was around $35 just like you said. The buffer was $28.00 and I used a $3 orange Home Depot bucket. Some Berber carpet we had laying around.... Cut the holes and assembled and had it up and running in about 15 min. Wow, it works better than I could have imagined.... Thanks so much - and do easy to make.

you forgot to mention Chalk in the things that makes balls dirty,

thanks for the vedio

Put all 16 balls in there at the same time and put a folded towel on top of them to hold them down and polish from both sides. Maybe a little additional weight on top of the towel to speed the process. Use your imagination Forget the vents, mine generates very little heat and you only need a 2-3 inch strip of self adhesive felt above the polisher pad surface. The balls don't reach the top of the bucket so no need for so much carpet.. Other than that yours looks a lot like mine.

Way to think outside the box.Great idea fraction of cost.

[ecuff44]

[KellyHat]

[Frobby1]

Hi I just got a old (1959) pool table, and have restored it, and new cloth was done today. Now I have the original set of balls, which are very dirty, (yellow/brown in fact). Do you think this would make them shine like new? Or are they hopeless? If I can get them lookking good again I definately would like to try it, but I am not sure if I need something a little harsher on the cleaning side, rather than the Polishing side. Any thoughts or opinions would be helpful. Thanks

[BanjoGar]

[BartjeOstend]

@starmate He's talking about the balls ^^

[Zenthral]

Cool.

[Target3212]

I only see the link for azbillards not the other stuff you mention. nice idea though.

[LunarFuror]

your right hand in the beginning kinda scares me lol. But you have some really good vids up.

[guerrillaspikes]

I made myself a ball polisher something like yours after seeing this video. Not only the explanations help but just the fact that I realised I can do one myself. Thanks for everything and keep posting because I allways watch your videos, and If you can please post more drills for advanced players that want to improve their game, not only easy drills for beginners. Bye

Great to hear!!!! Glad I could help.
