A method of producing an ellipsoid form from an expanded metal foil net teaches the steps of placing a sheet of expanded metal net on a work surface adjacent an open-ended hollow cylinder having the interior shape of a semi-ellipsoid, moving a first piston having the exterior shape of a semi-ellipsoid against the expanded metal sheet and into said open-ended cylinder to form the sheet into a semi-ellipsoid piece having a closed end and an open end, and subsequently moving a second piston into the open-ended cylinder to close the open end of the semi-ellipsoid piece and thus complete formation of the ellipsoid form. The metal foil may be a continuous sheet transversely slip and fed in unstretched form from a roll to the edge of said work surface, then stretched across the work surface and detached from the continuous sheet to provide the expanded metal net sheet to be formed into an ellipsoid. A piece of floatable material may be inserted into the semi-ellipsoid piece through the open end thereof prior to closing said open end.

A method of producing an ellipsoid form from an expanded metal foil net comprising the steps of placing a sheet of expanded metal net on a work surface adjacent an open-ended hollow molding cylinder having an interior molding surface formed in the shape of a semi-ellipsoid, moving a first molding piston having an exterior molding surface formed in the shape of a semi-ellipsoid against said expanded metal sheet and into said open-ended cylinder to form said sheet into a semi-ellipsoid piece having a closed end and an open end, and subsequently moving a second piston into said open-ended cylinder to close the open end of said semi-ellipsoid piece and thus complete formation of the ellipsoid form.
