It was a productive day of fitting, assembling and die grinding pieces of the tractor. By the end of the day, the tractor was welded to the base. With the carving mostly finished, we will begin the sculpting and preliminary painting before final assembly begins. While I fully understood the size of the tractor as I designed and routed it, the feature is definitely very large as the layers come together. The little tractor is going to look fabulous sitting on top of a nine-foot-tall plinth in the center of a stone planter. When it is done, this is going to be a very fun three-dimensional version of the Downey’s Farm logo. Stay tuned…
