Bad news, my friend, who was to be the lead metal shaper has backed out. This was caused by medical reasons. I hope he can still be a consultant/advisor. Looks like the completion date I was looking for will be extended considerably. The money which would have gone his way will now be used to purchase some equipment. I will attempt the metal work myself starting with pieces less shape and progress to tougher pieces. I am now predicting 2 1/2yrs to completion having adding 6 months.
The amazing buck is completed, used FSP to verify it matches my clay model. Wrapping up the rotisserie now. Update with more pics next week.
