Re: Big ball
Well done, that looks good. I have some hemispheres coming later in the month to do one for a customers order.
What thickness have you used, I find that with hand cutting I need to use at least 5mm (3/16") to be able to get nice clean edges that don't require a heap of cleanup.

Re: Big ball
Very nice Sampson, did you cut this flat in sections and use a power hammer then weld them together? Craig Johnson

Re: Big ball
The one cut above I believe is a sea buoy if I'm not mistaken? They are the old metal ones that have been decommissioned.
