Work Still On going on Harris

Work is still ongoing on the Harris County Courthouse. Here Dan Pogue our shop Forman and Matt2 are building the plaster capital that goes along the walls in the district courtroom. These have been totally lost in previous renovations of the courthouse. But there were historical photos that showed the element. The photos are not specifically of the capital so they are not totally in focus but at least we know what the basic shape and design are (kinda). We submitted drawings to Susan with Architexas the historical architect and she made some minor revisions and sent them back.

We are making what we call a model of the capital and then will take a picture and send it for approval before we make the mold. Rubber is expensive so before we pour the rubber mold we need to make sure the model is correct.

It never ceases to amaze me that when discussing anything, but especially items in 3d, how people can see things differently and how confusing it can be become to discuss it. You can think you are all talking about the same thing. You believe that everyone agrees to a specific design but when the final piece is made all of the sudden what was created was not what someone in the group thought we were talking about. So before we spend the money on making the rubber mold care is taken to ensure it is what everyone envisions as the correct finial design.

After finial approval we will start production of the capitals and ship them to the sight for installation.
