Today, Henry opted to work on the parade float cannon as our shop project. That involved welding up the faux barrel with the individual charge tubes. We then blocked out the shape of the cannon using pencil rod. We then headed into town to purchase the fittings and flexible conduit for the fuse wires. Once installed, the piece is ready for diamond lath. Henry is eager to begin applying the sculpting epoxy in the coming week. Stay tuned…
Chandelier in paint
Our painting crew has been busy this past week! The grand chandelier for Kraay’s Family farm is coming along splendidly, with the base colours now all on and the first glazes done. The crow feathers are finished, and the first coat of colour is on the beaks and feet. This is going to look spectacular when it is lifted into the giant vaulted ceiling!
Ahoy mateys!
We’ve begun work on a very exciting project for Vala’s Pumpkin Patch in Gretna, Nebraska. This is the first of many pieces that will soon form an entirely new Pirate Themed area at the farm. This tower will be the entrance for a new ride attraction. The ‘stone’ tower will be built in two sections with this being the lower half. Stay tuned as this feature comes together in the next weeks…
