On Friday, Jay finished painting the upper areas of the Copper Crown enough to allow the long-awaited removal of the big scaffold. This was one more important step on our journey to finishing the third suite of the Hazelnut Inn. The sculpted concrete work is also nearing completion. The tiles have been picked out and will soon be installed on the floor. The electrician is almost ready to install the lighting fixtures, and the draperies and banners are in planning and will soon begin fabrication. It won’t be long until we are ready for our first guests. Stay tuned…
It's a tractor!
We fired up the Shop Sabre CNC router and kept it humming all day to whittle four 4’ x 8’ sheets of Precision Board HDU into tractor shapes. In the next days, we’ll glue them over a welded steel frame and sculpt in the details. This not-so-small piece is but a tiny part of a much larger feature. Stay tuned to watch it come together…
Flying ship!
The sun was shining bright as we hooked up the ship and our favourite crane operator (Greg from Wishlow Cranes) gently picked up the 8,400 lb load and swung it onto the waiting flatbed truck. We spent under an hour loading the rest of the pieces and then Jason from JD Transport securely securely strapped down the features and headed down the road.The truck will arrive at Vala’s Pumpkin Patch in Nebraska next Wednesday morning. As the truck rolled off the yard our crew headed back to the shop to begin work on the next exciting project which will be going to Downey’s Farm in Ontario. Stay tuned…
