If you do try this at home (and you probably should) be very careful when you spinamathing it in your drill to polish it. I have done this a few times and the results are not always awesome. To much speed and to much sanding can damage the plastic ball top and you'll end up ordering a replacement from Mike ;-)

Great video.
