What a relief, I was able to get the piece in my car and to the sheet metal fabricators. .
The sheet Metal fabricators did a beautiful job leveling the steel base.
With this cold weather it is nice to get out of the garage and working inside my studio.
I will take down all the drawings, I want them to be very pressed for the exhibit and I need a clean wall to use as a backdrop as I work on the next stage of the sculpture . In order to press them I bought two pieces of sheet rock to press them under. I also stack my bronze hats on them for extra weight.
