Yesterday my globe came back from the galvanizers in two pieces as planned. I have been stressing about this for weeks.
Will it come back twisted? warped/ buckled? or knackered.
Moment of truth time. It would not go at one end; a sharp Krack with a biggish hammer and it settled. 31 out of 32 bolts went in with hardly any persuasion after running a drill through the holes.~
very nice of the ga;vanizers to refix two bits that I had only tacked on and fell of during loading
Chunko is one happy bunny.
He says modestly it looks fantastic.
On its way out, I forgot to picture its arrival
Spaceship Earth
There was some dancing around the workshop.
Bloody marvelous
I did balance it on my shoulders Atlas style but no photographers present.
About 100m of steels trip all bent by hand. Near killed me.
next job is the dragon sitting on top of it
