So the spheres have a particular name? They look about 30" in diameter but wondering as well

Impressive, great idea.

They are 32" and each half is called a hemisphere.

That's pretty cool but the cabin is on fire.

It's sad but I finished that pit right in the middle of the big wildfires out in California this summer and a few of my friends named this pit the Californian because the cabin and trees are on fire and of course the bears

Really like it! Want to make one myself... Bout how much do the spheres run? Did u draw the stencil yourself?

You must have a steady hand with that plasma!

Great job!

The material is $350 to get and we lay out the design on computer and project it on the sphere. We then trace it with a paint marker and cut.

If you had a design that wasn't open enough to put wood in on the top could you make the two hemispheres hinged? I saw a picture once in a welding magazine from a place in China that made hemispheres and balls. They made everything from tiny little ones about 1/2" in diameter all the way up past 72". They made them out of steel, stainless, and brass with your choice of finishes. The only reason I remember it was that they took a picture of their warehouse full of "balls". 1000s of them every size you could imagine. I wonder if it would be worth pricing them from China if you do enough of them.
