The lathwork on the Hickory Dickory is nearing completion. This kind of project is tricky on account of all the small corners and levels. As always, tying on the lath is a team effort and takes a few days between other projects. Matt did the bulk of this job but was called away to do some other task, and Jay jumped on when he finished painting for the day. Since the weather was so fine for the middle of October, we pulled it out in the sunshine. The shop is quiet through the Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend. Next Tuesday we’ll be back at it to ready the feature for the sculpted concrete and beautiful woodgrains that will happen around the end of next week. Stay tuned…
Almost ready to race
Jay continued to work his magic on the two brooms today. The red broom now sports its subtle glazes, and the blue one has the base colours applied. The supports are primed and ready for their final coat. By the end of next week, they should be ready to be installed in front of Witchy Boo at 1881 in Chilliwack. Stay tuned…
Hickory dickory clock progress
The welding is largely completed on the Hickory Dickory clock that will soon be on its way to the Story Book Land at Vala’s Pumpkin Patch in Nebraska. Matt has begun the tedious job of tying on the diamond lath. Next week the crew will trowel on the fibreglass reinforced concrete and they will sculpt in the exquisite woodgrains they are famous for. Stay tuned…
