40" Metal Stand for 30lb Butterfly
..It's a Butterfly! The other day, I picked up the stand that will hold my 30lb butterfly. I almost did not get it, because I was not required to do so, but having it in my studio has facilitated my understanding of how the piece will fit together. The funny looking shape at the top of the stand is the "body" of the butterfly. The black dots you see are holes for the bolts that will attach the two wings. I will need to paint this little body to integrate it with the wings. Though you cannot tell here, the body piece slides up and out of the black metal pole.
Sure does look tiny for the support of the butterfly, does it not? 
One of the many questions that periodically creeps up into my mind, is how many people will I need to attach the two wings with the body? Each bolt goes through each of the three pieces. Subtext to the question is how to do I do this with no scraping or damage to the painted surfaces??  ...and then I have to deliver it.
