(...) Thanks, Anne. I have no idea where this one will go. I've managed to get the Ferry Boat on display at a Maritime Museum; the Smith Tower fits okay in our living room; but the Totem is still an orphan. I'll keep looking. Wayne (18 years ago, 21-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, FTX)

Unfortunately since I hadn't done tile layers it couldn't come apart afterwards. So it had to come home in many (...) (18 years ago, 13-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, FTX)

(...) Thanks! The 'pins' (axle-2) are used only to 'glue' the front face 'sheet' to the wing base 'sheet'. There is enough tension/compression that it is extremely unlikely to come apart without intent. The axles (captured 3-1/2 w/stud) on the (...) (18 years ago, 13-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

Here are a few pics of my Northwest Artifact (Totem Pole). It is 6 feet tall, has a 7-1/2 foot wingspan and uses about 20,000 bricks and plates. The technology I developed to enable such massive (and thin) wings is called Plywood and Staples. The (...) (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, FTX) !!

Also, how thick are the walls? Having never built anything to that (...) (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, FTX)
