It's a Rubber band ball. It weighs 120 lbs and is 60 1/4 inch around (it still bounces and it's also still growing).

It's been an on and off project for about ten years now. There were times I didn't work on it for months. I brought it to work one day to show people but then silly me sold my truck so now it's stuck at work. IF I actually got it into the back of either one of my cars, I would never get it back out.

This ball is made completely of rubberbands and it didn't cost me a thing. I work at a wire harness factory and when we receive spools of wire in, there is a rubberband wrapped around the wire to prevent unraveling during shipment. Instead of throwing them away, I put them on the ball. The rubber bands I am using are getting close to their limit where they do break sometimes. I'll have to start tying them together pretty soon.
