A hot air balloon – a balloon-shaped hollow form that floats on magnets!

Starting with a pre-hollowed balloon (there is not enough time to do the hollowing), we will finish the balloon (remove the tenon), create a basket, and make a base for the balloon to float above. All the pieces will be assembled together with the magnets and a supporting brass rod and tube. If there’s time, we may turn a small finial for the top of the balloon.
