This is his office at the Hunterian Art Gallery.

The Hunterian is spread over the campus of the university.

This is the hall were you graduate.

The Hunterian Museum.

Dave shows the lights he made in the showcase.

At the Anatomy Museum we saw some horrifying jars filled with animal and human body parts. I decided to not put any more photos on the blog, not only because it’s too frightening (I hope I don’t get nightmares about cyclopia), but also because afterwards I heard you were not allowed to take photos.

Some old radiographies.

And then to Zoology Museum.

Fixing the door.

Big meeting at Market with the committee and the board.

Just arrived at the flat in Glasgow.

But the inside is not so bad.

I have two flatmates, who I haven’t met jet.

And the whole house smells really nice after these flowers.

To give a green colour to the bronze you have to patinate it. You can use a chemical process, but there is also a more natural process, which I prefer.

You can use Guinness for instance.

But don’t put the Guinness directly onto the bronze. First you have to drink it.

And than pee on it.

2009-08-20T15:58:00.005+01:00

10298

There is a lot to be done in the foundry.
24 moulds are waiting to be poured.

The shells have to be very hot.

We used a fire gun with a leaf-blower connected to it called Arnie (as in Schwarzenegger).

The leaf-blower has several functions.

2009-08-12T00:23:00.006+01:00

10290
