Top work on the cross matey! it was suitably heavy for their 'penance' and bloody soaking for the event as it was outside all day!

 

The guys in robes are Knights of the Holy Sepulchre and were an 'Honour Guard' for the cross all evening and it had a least one of them with it at all times - I'm not sure why as no one was going to be running off with it!

Worked perfectly! The rain caused some issues with fitting together and taking apart but only added a couple of seconds to the job - a particular low point was when I realised I didn't have a hammer or similar so punched the bolt in with my fist. About 30 people witnessed me punch a crucifix FFS! ? Everyone was well impressed with it and yes they did mention the weight but the hole at the bottom for the base actually made a great handhold for a second person to take some of the load - obviously that was your plan! Thanks again mate!

why didn't you use the turned dowel rather than your fist???

 

 

sounds like the wood expanded a bit due to the rain. it's a fairly snug fit anyway so i hope it still fits together next time it's used.

 

 

great pictures by the way.

At that point the base was at Westminster Cathedral and the cross was at Parliament Square so all I had was me - to be fair bashing it with a lump of wood wouldn't have looked great. The issue was putting it together in the rain, dark and on a set of steps! It is all back together again in the office so works great!

i've put the nest of three on here before but this was the last few pics i took of the whole set before it went off to its new owner (who owned the original tree) somewhere down in glastonbury.

 

the mother bowl is about 14" wide and 5 1/2"deep.
