and Vada Manhire

   
This shows a size relationship.  This is a BIG eagle!

#1 is completed!
This is also powder coated gold now but I do not have pictures of it yet.
          

For this project I have put a team together to help build these eagles. 
The team consists of Jim Mullenberg, Lori Hoagland, Pattie Young, and Vada Manhire.
You can see them throughout the pictures below.
We make a terrific team and I am proud to work with them.

And here is the final curve.  It is now ready to complete the welding and to bend the under-side.

Due to the size and strength of this eagle we had to design and build a press to bend these eagles. 
My friend and associate, Jim Mullenberg, designed and built the new press and Lori welded it together.
