Re: Stainless Steel Spheres

[Mike Cowham]

You can always paint the outside, if it will stick properly to the stainless. I 
just thought that large balls at this price were a bargain! I have since looked 
on the Internet and there seem to be many of these available.


  What a pity that the balls have a mirror finish.
  On a mirror you cannot see a shadow.

    Dear Dialling Friends,
    I have just visited our local garden centre and they had a large quantity 
of 'Gazing Balls' on sale. These are 8" / 20cm diameter stainless steel spheres 
with no obvious seams or stalks, and with a mirror finish. They MUST be of use 
to many of you for dialling, for making globes or for ?????
    They are made by Gardman and they were selling two for £9.99, quite a 
bargain. 
    If any of you have ideas how these can be used in dialling, I will be 
pleased to hear from you.
    If you make something from them, I am sure that we would all like to hear.

    Have fun,
    Mike Cowham.
