- We got so many comments to do the tin foil challenge,
and cut it open.
Welcome back to What's Inside,
I'm Dan and this is Lincoln
and today we're gonna - Wait.
- This is Lincoln!
- Lincoln's here, come stand right here,
I'm not sure if you're in the shot though.
So today we have our special,
today we have our special guest Claire,
she's my daughter, she is nine years old,
she's Lincoln's little sister,
on our family channel we've been working
on a special project, you've seen the title.
- I've never seen these balls before
so I'm interested to see what it looks like.
- Yes, so these things are the craze right now,
it's a really cool YouTube trend,
and we thought we'd give our hand, take our hand at it,
because Claire loves crafts.
We spent a couple of days building it,
it was a lot more work than we thought it would be,
how does that thing?
- How do I cut it?
- But that's the fun of it, it was fun,
did you have fun Claire?
- Yes.
- We're gonna show our masterpieces
to Lincoln, and see what he thinks about it.
And then what I wanna do
is cut them open cleanly,
because we know it's made out of tin foil,
but what's that look like,
because it's compacted I mean,
we had to hammer this thing down so many times.
- You had to hammer it?
- We had to hammer it.
- Yeah, with a mallet.
- Hammer it and polish it and sand it
and all kinds of stuff.
It's actually a really cool project,
and it's really inexpensive,
so if you're looking for a fun craft project,
maybe have an adult with you,
but it's a really cool one.
You can watch how we did it on our family channel.
It's like Jumanji all day long.
(dramatic music)
Grab it Lincoln, grab it.
- Oh I thought it was, this is very light.
- It is very light.
- That's crazy there's a lot of little cracks
and it's not necessarily look like a ball.
- It looks kinda like a ball.
It's pretty shiny though, it's cool.
- Yeah.
This is so light, but hard at the same time.
- Ready for mine?
- Yes.
(dramatic music)
Whoa, that looks cool.
- I mean it's really black I don't know how to polish,
we spent like two hours, don't pull stuff off of it.
There's a little piece right there
yes that can come off, that I could pull it,
I could pull that little part off,
but other than that it's pretty good.
Feel how tight it is, like squeeze it.
- Yeah.
They both feel really tight,
this one feels more smooth.
- What's inside of this tin foil ball?
If you wanna see the whole madness
of how to make these things
go to our family channel.
Thanks Claire for working on a project.
So now it is time to cut this ball open.
What is inside of the metal ball, the cool ball?
- I say we use this one first
'cause it looks really big and all.
- I kind of wanna go with the really really fine one
so we get a nice fine cut.
- Oh and then we use the big one.
- If we have to.
Here we go, ready to cut open this guy?
Hope it works, I hope we can actually get into it.
Here we go, we're gonna cut into it,
and we're gonna hopefully not lose any fingers.
- Whoa you've already made a dent.
- No it didn't make a dent.
- Yeah it did, look at it!
- It made a cut.
I think this'll look cool, like cut cleanly in half.
- If you can do it cleanly.
- I know if I can.
(upbeat funk music)
- You're in it.
- What is the best way to cut one of these things,
I don't know but,
- Probably a dremel would be good.
- No, you know what a band saw would be really nice.
But it's hard because you can't, your hands,
- It's so small.
- It is so small and it's round,
you can't really clamp it.
- I wanna big, I wanna make like a huge one,
that would be so cool to make a really big one.
- Let's do it, let's do it.
- That would be awesome.
- We're gonna try doing this,
maybe after Lincoln watches the video on our family channel
of how we built it, he'll be like inspired,
or he'll be like oh my gosh, that's way too much work.
- Never gonna do that.
- All my hard work, days and days
of pounding and sanding,
- The blade's halfway in, is it cutting down the teeth?
- Got a long ways to go.
We're in the size of the blade.
- Woo hoo!
(dog barking)
- Tesla, quiet.
- Seems like it's cutting easy.
You have a bunch of that stuff on your hand.
- Should we try Lincoln's saw?
The Lincoln saw.
- I don't know if it will fit.
- Oh man this is gonna be rough.
- I don't know if it's really making a dent.
(laughter)
- Don't suppose you could speed things up?
- Gonna take an hour or two.
Ahh!
Let's go back to this guy.
- That's a much better sound than the larger two.
(triumphant music)
- I feel like this is going back to our roots
of our channel like the golf ball, the baseball,
like this is kind of how we cut it open,
it was like in the most ridiculous way
that showed that I don't know how to use tools.
- Yup.
- And it's not that safe on my hands,
like my hands are just right under it.
- Oh yeah.
- Whoa!
- We're more than halfway through.
- It took you that long?
(laughter)
- Everybody doubts me.
That's as far as you've gotten this whole time?
- Oh you're really close.
- I'm more than half, oop, more than halfway.
♪ Oh we're halfway there, ♪
♪ Whoa oh-- ♪
This kid is not, you know that song?
(screeches)
- No.
- Yeah.
I just spit (laughs).
- Probably have to have like some sort of counter
on the side that shows how long
it actually took me to cut this open.
I'm curious though to see what it looks like
with all the layers.
- Yeah.
- Once it's cut open, it's not gonna look like
a shot put ball, or just pure metal
that you just cut, I would think at least.
It's starting to rub off and scratch the actual saw now.
At some point we're gonna get down to my hand.
- Ta Da!
- Thanks Lincoln, you're the best.
- I don't think that's gonna do anything though.
- How many balls do you think
that we have cut open?
That's gonna be our little contest here,
how many balls have we cut open?
That is the contest in the comments.
- That's a good question.
- Yeah, let us know, whoever gets it right first
that we see,
- We will-- - Pin your comment.
- Oh we will, yeah we'll pin your comment.
- And we'll say good job.
- Oh you're so close!
Pretty close.
Uh, you're so close!
- I just want it to break right apart.
Tin foil ball! Go!
And, no, no, don't look!
Trying to look inside before we see what's inside.
Ahh we got this!
How has this not gone through yet?
- Ah! - Well there it is!
- It's--
- Oh wow, it's actually really cool.
- So you can totally see where the first tin foil was
and you can see where the, where you packed in in.
This is actual tin foil.
- The inside of it has bigger pieces of tin foil
that look like, like this kind of stuff.
Hey, whoa, okay, alright.
- Wow there's a lot!
Oh it's glue!
- Gotta get it in a ball, it's all about the ball!
It's so quiet now.
Okay thank you Lincoln for that little intermission,
at the climax of the video.
- You have another one?
Like a rainbow.
- All right, so the inside of this thing
is really interesting because I pounded on top
of this thing all around it forever,
so the people in Japan, this is where this is based out of,
that actually started this trend,
they pound on this for much much longer
than what we did so that they can get a perfect round ball.
As you can see, ours is not perfectly round.
- Look I'm taking, I just took a little bit
of the tin foil out of the very middle.
- So the middle is not as compacted,
but you can see about an inch in,
it's like almost pure metal.
I hit this thing a lot.
If I squeeze it, it won't do anything.
This is what I used to hit it, boom, boom, boom, boom,
until we broke the table.
Also we're gonna go try to make another one of these
so you can follow our family channel for more of that.
- That's massive.
- All right, so that's what's inside.
- That looked cool.
- This little guy, thank you for that.
Give us something that's a little easier
that doesn't take us three or four days to build something.
- Yeah, maybe like something simple.
Wee!
It's crazy you ruined the table.
- I know, we totally ruined it.
- It took you that long?
