Hi Rob, definetely "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
The humanoid figure was arc welded: grind weld,grind weld till you could not seam at all at joints of 3/16" steel sheet. No armature needed. I would have like to make something more elaborate,but the client didn`t want to pay more. The pedestal, although hollow, still weighed about 9-10 thousand lbs. The first hoist had capacity but the hydrolic seals were not in shape and it did not move it an inch.Had to be installed, rained for 3 days non-stop,first joist truck got stuck in the mud.Next truck joist was more powerful, but when we arrived at the park we got stuck till midnight.You know that when it rains here in the tropics,it pours!Anyway, I like the pedestal, made with armature,concrete, and shaped with stained cement.Very easy to learn. I appreciate your more than kind comments Rob. And must say that, I welcome also criticism,so long as it`s constructive,so if you don`t like it, speak up, that`s is good too.Something to learn from all feedback.Nelson.
