as it stands now.....

hey there people. just a update ive got 1000 rubber bands comming soon 12" long by 5mm thick so they should beef up the rubber band ball. the people who am getting the rubber bands off where very helpfull and really cool so ill be dealing with them from now on. ill be posting pictures of the rubber band ball over the weekend and also ill be putting up the site of the guys ill be getting the rubber bands from aswell.
as it stands the ball has come to a stand still of sorts due to the fact ive run out of bands,lol but am getting 3 bags over the weekend to tide me over untill the 1000 come. am hoping to get it bigger then a basket ball by the end of feb so that be a month earlier then i already planned. as i think i said before i really do think ive underestimated how a bigger task ive took on....... people at work think i have no life lol tho saying that 1 or 2 have said its a cool idea. at the min am trying to get a name for the rubber band ball so far ive come up with 'bobby vee' after his song "rubber ball"..... anyway gotta go and make food so ill blog soon :)

here some pics of how its going.....

more rubber bands......

need more rubber bands ..... need a lot more.....  i went to a shop at the weekedend and got 3 big bag fulls now there gone... yes the rubber band ball is getting big but it needs to get bigger. so off ill go again on saturday to buy more. ive also found a web site that sells bigger bands for when it gets really big. the thing thats getting me is that how heavy its getting... by the time it gets to football size it be well over 20kg so good knows what its going to be like when it gets 3ft size. oh i know i said id upload pics over the weekend but.... i havnt so it be 2mz monday..... any ways untill then BYE!!!!!!

day 3 of "the rubber band ball" well its going well so far got given a big hand full of rubber bands that went nicely over my already growning ball. it is now starting to get big.... off to town 2mz to try and source a big bag of bands. ive looked on the net and got a few sites that am going to ring about getting big bands when needed. never know i might get some given to me, lol dout it tho :(  its saturday 2mz so no chance of getting any more bands from work and if i have no bands that means 2days without trying to break the world record... am going to start to set myslef targets of how big i want to get "the rubber band ball" by months. by thi sxmas ( 25/12/2011) i want it to be bigger then 4ft tall, am only 5ft 6"(ish) . going to upload pics over the weekend so keep an eye out for them..

day 2 of the "the rubber band ball" and its comming on well even tho i only had about 30 rubber bands  think i underestimed how many rubber bands it will take. i knew it was going to take a lot but its going to take A LOT !!!! atm the ball is about the same size as a baseball and is surprsingly heavy for its size. am hoping to get it the size of a basketball by march. i will upload some pics withhin the next few days..
