Wow, that is a great looking piece! The layers on the plywood set the ball off nicely, and the self leveling rings are a great contrast.

I like this Digger. I’m a sailor and have had a gimballed something-or-other on my back burner design list for some time. I may never get to it so I’m glad someone did.
Did you add weight to the bottom or is it just thicker to make it self level?
Congratulations on a sweet design, fine workmanship and of course your well deserved win.

Thank you all not a difficult piece to make just time consuming as this was the first attempt at a ball and the making of jigs to do all the drilling and such.

The bottom of the ball is drilled from the inside and filled with lead shot and a thin piece of ply covers the inside to hide it. This helped with the correct balance.

Clever project and agree with others on the nice layered ply rings.
