This post is best viewed here on this page. However, in case of gremlins, it is also posted on YouTube and FaceBook.

I saw this project in an AAW announcement of a challenge. I am too late for the challenge but this is a great project anyway. The announcement included an article by Al Hockenberry describing the process. I would encourage you to read and study the article.

Step 1: Turn a small size ball or sphere. Or cheat and use a golf ball or other pre-made ball.

Step 2: Turn a larger ball or sphere.

Step 3: Hollow the larger ball to barely accept the smaller ball. It is tricky.

Enjoy.
