Closing in on Kinnick

We are getting down to crunch time with Nile and the boys. Here are some shots from my last visit to the foundry. One is of Jack "chasing" the bronze. "Chasing" is the term used for grinding down the metal welds on a sculpture so that when it is complete you cannot see where the chasing took place. The other shot is of the patination process. You use a torch to heat the metal and stipple different mixtures of acid on the bronze to get different colors. With a piece the magnitude of the Kinnick you would use a spray bottle or maybe a hose!!
Best,
