The giant skull rock armature is now fully welded, and this week the crew will begin wiring on the galvanized diamond lath mesh. This is a tough job that is not for the faint of heart, and it is much more difficult than it appears at first glance. The mesh is razor-sharp and tricky to handle, especially when tucking it into tight crevices. The more complex the armature, the tougher it is to wire and sculpt, but the payoff is huge when we are done. To help the crew work the mesh into the deep cracks, they have invented a tool dubbed the ‘meshete’. It is actually just a flat 2” wide piece of 10-gauge flat bar with a custom tape-wrapped handle, but it does the job perfectly. Stay tuned to watch this skull rock come together…
