We should shortly have the top of the archway completely clad in copper. The gallery of pictures below shows the start of our work on the base, but we’ll be adding copper to the back side of the arch bows as well so the entire structure is covered.
You’ll be able to see in some of the photos that we have soldered the copper at the base. In 99.9% of cases, we will never use this technique. This is one of those 0.1% times. Since the spire sits flush with the base, this is the only appropriate option here. You can see the bolts protruding from the base where the spire will be secured.
