ITEM #14: MISCELLANEOUS: Rubber band ball


I was inspired by my Dad to make this ball out of rubber bands that I collected from the mail, around vegetables and other stuff. Dad was inspired by a draftsman he saw who would add bits of tape from his drafting table to a growing ball.

I’ve been working on this rubber band ball for a couple of years (maybe since early 2002). I’m pretty slow (don’t get much mail and don’t seem to buy asparagus frequently enough), so it’s only a little larger than a golf ball. It bounces really well but it goes all over the place.

I think this would be great for someone who isn’t willing to start from scratch, but is happy to take the credit for someone else’s work.
