All of the impossible-to-reach areas were painted before assembly to make things easier as we proceed. After three coats of paint, it was finally time to assemble and mount the wheels. Since everything is CNC cut on our ShopSabre router, the pieces fit perfectly. Next week, I’ll add some surface texture. Then we will begin sculpting the famed. Stay tuned…
Base frame for planter
It was a busy and productive day of plasma cutting, cutting structural steel, fitting and lots of welding as I worked on creating the base frame for the planter for the Downey’s Farm sign. This base frame is now complete and ready for the vertical structure. This structure measures 14 feet long, 8 feet wide, and will be almost 10 feet tall, plus the tractor on top. The tractor is being built as a separate unit for shipping and then installed at the farm.
Prepaint and partial assembly
I had a busy day both in and out of the studio. When I was in the shop, it was time to do a little more assembly and the first coat of prepaint. I hope that by tomorrow afternoon, we can do a final assembly of these bits and then get on to some sculpting. Stay tuned…
