Here's a project that I haven't seen discussed before.  President William Harrison's leather and tin ball, which apparently is the origin for the phrase "keep the ball rolling." https://wordsmarts.com/keep-the-ball-rolling/?lctg=3e121733-b5b4-47ec-a793-21d132d067fc.

Now that I have your attention, my real reason for posting is to ask does anyone else have trouble with the leatherworker.net site loading slowly?  For the past ~3 months, most pages of this site require about 20-30 seconds to load.  It is a slow process to use the site.  Is there a workaround?  Thanks for your input.
