The View From Our Window
No trees were harmed in today's work on the log feature. Today we applied the fiberglass reinforced concrete to the log car and sculpted the giant timber exterior. It changed the scale of the piece in an instant making it appear to be the giant old growth log it is intended to be.
Now we'll let it cure a few days before applying the paint and then doing the final assembly. It is going to look very cool as the final paint goes on. Stay tuned...

Today Matt tied the last of the lath onto the log car, making it ready for the plasterwork which is the next step.
The steam donkey also got one of the giant log skids lathed and the second one is now finished welding, now ready for the lath.
The framework for the 'wooden' deck is next and then the boiler and cable workings are the final step of the welding.

Today was a busy one. The morning was spent in the studio and shop. The afternoon was spent in the big city on a shopping spree. it was time to gather parts for the next portion of the project for Whistle Punk Adventure Golf. The next feature/vehicle we will start is the logging truck.
As with all of these kinds of projects we start with the wheels, axles and frame. Today, I purchased the spindles and wheels.
It doesn't look anything like a logging truck yet but we'll soon fix that. Stay tuned...
