This was a custom order project which went to Boca Raton,Fl. They are to be used in the new escape games. Hard Maple and 10" diameter. They tooled very hard with the sphere jig.

Very cool Todd, I bet that jig is a big help. I was just thinking as it would be kinda cool to make a segmented sphere, but doubt if I ever will, unless someone pays me like, like they did you, but who knows... it would be a cool conversation piece...

It was a lot of work and glue. I made two of them.

I also broke the two plastic knob set screw pieces. Why would anyone put plastic on a jig like this. I called Carter this morning and they said they would bring it up at there next meeting but was not offered any compensation. I also was not over confident or overly impressed with the conversation so.... take it or what it's worth. I looked into other jigs but I needed the diameter range this on offered
Interesting. That looks cool. What are the escape games?

I'm not real informative on it but I know they have them North of here in Erie. It is themed and I think a group of people go into a room or building with clues and objects to try to figure out to escape in a certain time frame. These spheres will be used on a set of sorta railroad tracks or rails which will roll down from room to room with objects or clues to other groups
Aha....yea I know what that is. I haven't been to one yet, but someday I will...
Cool...
Cool...

Even with all your troubles those are very cool, I like them. Makes me want to build a jig and try it just because.
Nicely done.

I'm right there with you Greg! I'll see something like this and think, "I need that, that looks cool!". I have no business with it, I can't turn a normal piece worth a darn, I certainly shouldn't attempt a sphere. I want to though!! Tony
Nice ! I take it that there not glued together but rather hinged or pinned so they can get at whatever's inside?
