Giant rubber band ball idea circles back around again

Woo whee!  Now here’s something fun to try!

It’s a stretch to break the record, but Steve Milton wants to make the world’s largest ball of rubber bands.

Milton, 26, an estimator for a local insulation company, was showing his 6-year-old son how to wrap rubber bands into a sphere last year, and the project snowballed from there. The ball now weighs 580 pounds and is roughly 3 feet high.

“Nobody’s really called me crazy,” Milton said. “They do think I’ve got a lot of time on my hands.”
