Having a Ball: Learning How to Make a Sphere

The smallest measurement dictates the maximum size of sphere that can be made. Using a rock saw with diamond blades, cuts should be made to make a cube. Continuing with the rock saw, cut the corners and edges off of the cube. So far 22 cuts will have been made and will leave you with a octadecagon or what looks like a faceted ball.
