Drilling a perfectly centered hole in a wooden sphere is really tricky, unless you know this shop tip for drilling them perfect every time. A WoodWorkers Guild of America (WWGOA) original video.
Visit http://www.wwgoa.com/ for more woodworking videos!
This is the perfect setup for a classic mind-&%$# problem-
Let's assume wwgoaeditor did not tell us the diameter of the drill. You do not know it is 3/8", nor the diameter of the ball.
Now, he drills a 2" long hole through the exact center of the sphere.
What is the remaining volume of the sphere?
This is one of my favorite mind benders- You can solve this at least 3 ways without calculus.
I offer this as tribute to the usefullness of wwgoaeditor's innovative centering solution!
