A New Body

Where to start? The trickiest parts first. The difficult cuts.

• Take an old piece of glass
• Scrape off the excess cement
• Draw round it to make a paper pattern
• Draw round the pattern onto a new piece of glass
• Cut out the glass - a new piece of glass the same size and shape as the old piece

So, where to start? With the concave curves, then with the thin tapering points . Get those pieces out of the way. Then the easier pieces - the rectangles. Are they all numbered?

So far so good. Now for the pieces of glass that have to be salvaged, scraping off the old cement.

A first glimpse of what the final piece will look like - on placing all the glass in the correct places, ready for assembly.

The body is ready for its skeleton.

Enough for today.
