Making a finger and then a hand

It was a Busy weekend with 9 people in the shop working like a bunch of bee's.

This included some "tester" monkeys" More Dave is below.

And the Finger comes together.

Work collage from the weekend of May 17th

This weekend we were finalizing the position of the hand using a ring that is close to the size of the egg at the point the hand is grabbing it.

Medic and Cyra are working on some of the rings for the egg

Turn my head and this is what I got to see

Legs, and detail shots

Placing the scrolls

One brave soul prays they don't get welded while one with at least some skill tries to weld only the scrolls

Don't worry the welds will magically disappear

with pretty wraps

How to make scrolls, sorta

First we taper the ends then scroll them



Then we tumble them and spend hours detangling them

They are stacked and they get added to the cauldron.

Stakes, legs and stuff

Playing the catch up blog, these are soe shots that should be shared


Did I mention how awesome these stakes are....

And then some leg ideas.... just a start, they get better as we go.
