The plasma cut dinosaur is definitely a bit top heavy. We needed him to be somewhat movable and thus a sturdy (and heavy) base was required. We decided he would be perched on a well weathered log made from concrete. Matt had been bringing in some pretty cool samples of gnarly wood which would serve as the perfect inspiration. He welded up the intricate armature and wired it up in preparation for the mud. Today Matt started the fibreglass reinforced concrete sculpting. It is looking fabulous!

This morning a giant eighteen wheeler pulled up in front of our drive. We had been excitedly waiting for it! Tied to the deck was our brand new MultiCam CNC plasma cutter! It didn’t take long to untie and pull the tarp off. I then gingerly poked the tangs of the forklift into the bottom and removed the heavy machine from the deck. It was a four hundred foot journey to the back of the shop where we lifted it into position in the new addition and lowered it into it’s new home – a metal building still in progress at the rear of our property. Peter insisted we leave it wrapped until tomorrow when the electrician is coming to hook things up. It’s like waiting for Christmas morning!
