After just a few days working on the latest prototype and I've completely switched plans again. Rather than a ball with so much internal structure, maybe rounding off an icosahedron might be a better choice.

Using 30 of the short struts from my geodesic dome, I made an icosahedron that is just a bit bigger than I'd be able to move through my newly made fence/gates.

Rounding off a chunck of 4x4 to make 'hubs' for the vertices of the icosa-

I finally used some 6" log sections sold as garden edging to make the hubs. Here is the pattern.

I think I need a good beach burn to get rid of some of the prototypes around here! Hardly have any room to move.

Time to finish off the icosa.

Building within the metal icosa helped quite a bit both in knowing exactly which direction the struts should angle and as a scaffolding.

My cleverest idea so far-use a pair of C-Clamps (with the tightening bar removed) as axles for the globe.
