2017-2018. Season 6
The remainder of this page is ordered 'oldest first'.
Plans for the year include a rotator. Let's get an 8' snow sculpture turning on the bank!
Pictured below is the new rotator with a small sand sculpture to tease your imagination.
One foot of sand sculpture, no problem. But can we rotate an 8' or more 1500lb snow sculpture?!
I've been experimenting with sand and it's been a lot of fun. I built a sand table for our grandchild and we both love to carve.
So much to learn. Hover on the 'SPECIAL FEATURES' menu item to discover more about experiments with sand.

Shown here are most of the forms I have designed and used. But the new approach is a 3mm 2' x '8 sheet of plastic. Stacking 4 will get me the height I want.
December 3rd, 2017. Building of the 5 sided internal void maker. An internal tower to allow new creative possibilities! And on Tuesday, Dec 5, I cut it in almost half using a 45 degree jig saw cut. All to be explained later!
December 12, 2017. What a day. Taught, supervision at lunch, KCI King Street Jazz Band after school, volunteering at a retirement home, dinner with family, and then hit the bank around 8pm. Had the form up by about 9pm and carved just before 10pm. Then I made some adjustments at 6am the next morning.
I was running a Twitter poll on Wednesday night (Jan 3, 2018) to let the audience decide whether I would carve Mick Jagger or Steven Tyler. Mick won. Meanwhile, that same night, Marc Venema from CTV Kitchener contacted me for a potential shoot. We shot it on Thursday and the 3 x 2+ minute segments aired on Friday, Jan 5, 2018. Jeff on the video was great too! Of the 3 shoots, 2 were 1 take.
