Dunbar Wisconsin Vet Memorial

Just returned from Dunbar Wisconsin. This is an eagle I created for the Veterans Memorial they are building in their town park. It is a wonderful all volunteer effort.

Public Safety Bldg. Address

In case you want to see the sculpture in person it is at 2030 Arlington Ave. North in Duluth, MN

Duluth Public Safety Building Sculpture

I installed the plaque for the sculpture early this morning and took a few more pictures in the early morning light. We are now giving the studio a good and long over due clean up.

Duluth Public Art Project, Installed

Yesterday we installed the two figures at the Public Safety Building in Duluth. One more trip is required to finish, we didn't bring the plaque along to install that too.

Duluth Public Art Welding Done!

I want to invite you all to the studio, Last Chance Fabricating, 17 Railroad Drive, Lutsen, MN this Saturday June 23 from 10 till noon. We are going to have a send off party for the big sculptures. We will be serving doughnuts (Worlds Best) and coffee.
The welding is finished. Now just a little more grinding and then sand blasting and patina.

Finishing Up

welding the man's chest together

note the threaded rod and clamp, in casting pieces some warping occurs so we need to squeeze the pieces together to get a good fit

here we are, side by side, the arms are next, then the badges and equipment on the belts

Assembling cast pieces

The casting is all but finished (one more mold to pour). Welding the cast pieces together. So far everything is fitting well with a little persuasion. The wax pieces can warp a bit so after casting we sometimes need to squeeze parts together or apply a hammer blow or two to close the gap.
