"Barbara" and Fred Logan. It was quite a thing to have this metal globe constructed. I remember Wayne Sanguin had the County Surveyor come in and lay out a diagram, he then cut out strips of metal and like the skin of an orange, welded them together. |

WHAT SUPPORTED IT IN THE CENTER?
:-)
Cindy
A sphere is the strongest
geometric shape Cindy
No support was necessary
Many rolling globes are
filled with sand or such
for stability
Much easier to keep your
balance on a heavy ball
That's what I thought!

Terrell Jacobs's famous gender-bending lion(ess) Sheba died, and a large water trough was worked into a coffin--the photo of which has appeared here. Colonel Woodcock noted it "looked like something Wayne Sanguin whomped up."
Rolling Globes. I have taught a lot of kids rolling globe but no elephants. The larger the ball the slower the roll. Toughest thing for a kid is to run and jump on the ball. With a spotter in front they get it pretty quickly. A patting of the feet and they soon are going all over the place. Some get it in one lesson. You can take some nasy falls that is for sure.

The easiest way to teach a
novice is to have the ball
in a simple track (4 short
lengths of almost anything
such as 1X2 firing strips)
with the ball at 1 end of it
for the beginner to jump on
Then as they walk forward
the ball will roll back
Once they master forward
& backward they can try
untethered ball movement
Best always to keep feet
in constant motion
Ramps like Verdu's are
another ball of wax
You should learn how to
fall before learning how
to do anything else
