Shops for screws are closed today; thus the project will be delayed
by some days. In the meantime I can do some planning. The wooden
sticks are 10 cm long. From that I have found that the diameter of
the football will be about 28.5 cm:

The project is delayed because more planning was needed.
If I had used screws for the connections, I would have
built a flat earth.

More loose connections are needed for a perfect round earth,
and thus the three sticks at the 60 corners will be sewed
together by at thin tread that has a figure eight knot at the ends.

The Natural Philosopher can never build such a perfect round model of
the earth, as he is unable to learn by reading the advices he get from
Jo and from the genius Leonard Euler:
