    Just modelling a soccer ball is a pain. Loved the use of the die to curve the parts. 15/10. Nicely done.

    He didn't have to make a soccer ball out of aluminum, but he did. He did that for us.
    Or so I like to think, anyways.

    The fully welded version is in my opinion much nicer. Partially welded also looked good, but I think it was definitely much better finished.
    Damn nice job.

    You take welding to a completely different level. I'm amazed at the talent skill and experience to craft something so perfect as a round ball with all of those pentagons. You had to really spend time to get every curve just right. I'm a subscriber for life. I love to see these things and I hope you bring us more. I learned to weld last year and I am terrible at it. So this motivates me.

    I made one years ago out of 2mm Stainless Steel but didn't curve the parts - just welded a small nipple on it and pumped it up with a pressure washer until it "popped" out to round!

    6061 here is a project for you.. Technically speaking this, i.e. Soccer Ball is a "Truncated Icosohedron". It has "dihedral angles of 142.623 where the pentagons intersect the heaxagon and 138.19 where the hexagons intersect. It's miter angles are 18.6867 where the pentagon and hexagons intersect. And, 20.9052 where the hexagons intersect. You should mill the pieces these miters and then assemble. Once assembled put it in a lather and turn it into a sphere. That would be a great project. I've done this in wood several times. Good job on this project. Very interesting.
