Each large project we do has many components and as we get going the shop quickly fills with these many pieces. Initially it is about welding and grinding, and building the sturdy armatures. Then the features are covered in lath. The progress to this point seems to take a long time. Then comes the sculpting phase. The features we could previously see through become solid and with detailed form. Even though the concrete skins are generally less than inch thick on the the sculptures and add little to the actual size, the features become bulky in an instant. From here on the changes will be dramatic as the grey shapes become colourful and lifelike. Its a fun process to watch. Stay tuned…
Truck sculpted
Today, the little truck that doubles as the final mini golf hole and a photo opportunity for our guests was sculpted. The ‘instant’ visual progress was impressive! There’s three pieces to the puzzle, a truck cab and chassis, the box into which golfers will putt and the loading dock ramp which will be the ‘fairway’ for the players. Because everything has to be moved into the facility through a set of regular double doors, the pieces needed to be built and transported separately. Each piece couldn’t measure more than 80” tall nor 70” wide. The pieces also need to be lifted easily and seamlessly bolted back together when we get everything in place. Next week the pieces come alive as they get their paint. Stay tuned…
