    Default Hands off

    That'd be right,
    Not long after I'm told that I've broken my body ( and it's out of warranty) and I'm to stay away from any big heavy stuff, I get the go ahead for the biggest public sculpture to date.( 5mtrs high and about 8 tonnes of painted steel and concrete)

    So, other than making a model and full size ply patterns its Hands off and I'll just be supervising (annoying) the minions
    Anyways, the model is painted plywood so can I still post here?

    what if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about?

    it has a 'foundry' look about it.
    .
    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    Regards, Woodwould.

    There's something of the sickle - a la the ruskies flag there as well.

    You might think of Rodin who had a squadron of assistants and came off none the worse for it: Auguste Rodin

    I like it a lot. There's something of the sickle - a la the ruskies flag there as well. You reminds me of Gerry Lewers and other Australian sculptors - eg, Bob klippel.

    Hi,
    I can't see a sickle but a couple of views bring a scythe to mind, but not till you put grass cutters in my mind.
    Regards
    Hugh
