The KRIS a Malaysian Ceremonial Sword 

40 foot high 4 ton bronze  in Kuala Lumpur.

Stadium was built for the Comonwealth Games.

The bronze was shipped out to Kuala Lumpur in sections,the blade was in one piece,the handle was in four pieces, the sword with the internal stainless steel armature was lifted and set onto the paved area and securerly bolted to the concrete base. The handle was then assembled around the armature and welded,the next part of the installation was to chase the bronze, then the whole piece was  patinated to make it look antique.  Cast at Burleighfield Arts at Loudwater High Wycombe.

I along with other workers we were presented to the Queen and Prince Phillip at the official opening of  the Stadium, which was built for the Commonwealth Games.

This 3.5 ton 25feet high monster was Sculpted by Gerald Gladstone a Canadian sculptor. It was cast in bronze by Morris Singer of Basingstoke Titled  "Universal Man"   It was erected at the base of the CN Tower. I am told by travellers that it is no longer there. Normally it takes just Myself and Albert to install bronzes but because of Canadian labour  rules I was forced to use six men from the site.

Above a large bronze arch  fabrication around 6 ton. Concept by Miles Davies produced at Burleighfield High Wycombe, it was a very complex piece to produce. In the past it was featured on the childrens television in a series called "BRUM" Location Brindley Place Birmingham.

 Below installation underway, this was one of the most difficult and intense peice to install, it was mounted on steps of different heights, the steps were faced with with cast bronze which also acted as a mould to retain the concrete during pumping operations.
