First picture shows the design
for The River Exe Project.
Several castings were made to adorn
the side of the river bank.

The Pattern for a column under construction,
the column is actually curved so optically it will appear straight.
|
This is part of the corebox used to hollow out
the column, it is made of fibreglass.
|
The mould is cast in our sand floor, the metal
is pored in and two days later when it has cooled the casting is lifted.
|
To ensure the two halves fit neatly together
the joints are machined flat.
|
The two halve were drilled and stainless steel
bolts with large decorative brass washers were used to fasten the two halves
together.
|
Finally the casting sits on its resting place,
outside a bank in Germany.
