welded globe
 

Anyone seen that metal spinning globe on Joel Osteen's show, the
smiling preacher from Lakewood church?
It's about 10 feet high, I think it would be a great welding project,
the trick would be to mount it so a motor can make it revolve slowly. I
would like to see any pictures you sculptors have done similar to this.
Happy New Year!

I have not seen the globe on TV. The link below is for a globe that I
made a few years ago. This one hangs from the ceiling on monofilament.
I don't think that it would be difficult to motorize one. One of
these days I will build a larger one, probably for outdoors. I have
learned a lot since I built this one. ;-)
