My first metal ball.* This one made by hand...cut two discs (using hydraulic press), then hammered them into two half spheres (using hammer, rounded peg like things, and a metal block with half sphere indents). Then sanded the edges, fit it together, soldered. Not perfect, but happy to learn one more metal trick by hand. I had added a texture to the surface, but all my half sphere pounding kind of "erased" the texture.
*Other than the one I swallowed as a kid.
