here i am inside the base cutting apart some of the frame work to allow for new stainless tubing to go through the top and weld to a stainless steel base that will measure exactly one foot beyond the sculpture base.

still much to do; cut/cope/weld stainless tubing cross section, attach to bottom of moon and weld, weld base of stainless tubing to final platform stainless base, attach stainless base to sculpture base and weld, sand old patina off and apply new patina. clean, wax and new pictures of completed piece!
