Yes Denis, molten metal needs care and respect. The Alamy photo is cast in sections and assembled/welded?

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.

That is a beaut!

Its a lost wax art foundry we cast them and they are cut apart and placed on sprues and poured and then chipped and blasted and reassembled

 

[Denis Zen]

I have more photos to share with you I just don't have them on this phone.

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.

 

[Denis Zen]

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.

Denis, I can think 3D, but sculpture is beyond me. unless it is in my hand.

[Denis Zen]

Lmao do you think I would offend someone and give them reason to avoid my long-winded overrated and underappreciated advice?

Haahaaaa! I am smarter than the average bear!

 

[Denis Zen]

Yeah it just a zone I get in and I actually become the piece... I bring it to as close to life as I can. Sounds crazy but you see the result.

 

[Denis Zen]

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to show my real talents and brag a bit. I'm sure there are reams of knowledge that I could learn from all of you... I never discount anything I learn. ... Even if it is I learned that the person telling me is a B.s.er!

Thanks for the warning Denis. The ceiling mounts are Uni Strut? Two things come to mind. Load rating of the Uni Strut.
But more importantly. What was the Uni Strut fastened to?
