Some
metals are attached to the base to screw them tight to the base. The base of
the sculpture will be made with wooden logs.

The
site of the sculpture going to be fix is dug about 4 feet depth with a drott.

Figure 5.3: The wooden logs for the base
The
wooden logs will be cut equally and excess trunks or barks will be removed
before placing inside the dug hole.

The head of the sculpture was fixed after that.

The work is still in progress. The
further prediction for this sculpture will be adding more 250 kg of metals to
the sculpture to increase the height. During this process, the probability of
getting electric shock by the welding tool is higher especially during rainy
days, so precaution needed to be taken. Avoid working during raining season.
Furthermore, the heavy metal is placed on a wooden material below it. This can
lead to sinking of the sculpture after a longer period. So, my suggestion is
soak the wood in high quality synthetic resin water repellant and make sure all
the edges are coated well. Other than that, add medium sand and also concrete
in between the woods and cover the upper part with concrete. Furthermore, make small
drainage channels at lower part to drain excess water into the main drainage.
