Ever been to the mall of america? The 14 ft Daffy duck and bugs Bunny wearing tuxedos with tails a cane in one hand and a hat in the other I built those also.

We built twice life size bald eagle made of silver gold and bronze that went into the U.s Federal reserve Bank in New York.

We built the trophy for the US bronc riding championship back in 90?

I also got to work on a sculpture that went on top of the remnant of the Berlin wall that was left when they tore it down.

I can tell you a story the very few people know about that whale sculpture. When they hung it they hung it incorrectly which nullified the name of the sculpture which was "gentle nudge".

It's the moment after the mother gives birth and raises the calf to the surface with her tail to takes its first breathe. Well they mounted the baby under the tail which nullified the moment of inspiration that the artist was trying to catch so what they did is they took the baby away and they stored it and they are only showing the mother. What you were seeing is a 1.6 million f*** up.

Yes its hollow but still weighs as much as a small school bus... Which reminds me if you ever go there don't walk underneath it that's at the end of the San Andreas fault and it's only hung by uni strut!

I would never imagine being rude to anyone ever. My parents raised a gentleman. Indubitably.
Thanks for the warning Denis. The ceiling mounts are Uni Strut? :eek: Two things come to mind. Load rating of the Uni Strut.
But more importantly. What was the Uni Strut fastened to?
