With Sthapathi in the foreground showing two major welds, Bobby takes Paramacharya and Rajkumar through a short course on how it is all done. In fact, he wants to share his expertise one day with the monks on Kauai (and he has an enormous reservoir of knowledge in this field, after 45 years). Many details were discussed and issues resolved in the two hours together.

The head has been chased and polished. Once the rest of the piece is assembled and polished, it will be sent to anotheer artisan for application of the patina, which will make it more realistic.
