Packing up the first column ready for shipping to Liverpool
Today we are packing the very first completed column. John, another member of our little team, has made us six bespoke crates.
Each timber crate is constructed of a sturdy timber frame and lined with heavy-duty plywood.
The inside is lined with a polystyrene outer casing and a foam inner casing. The glass is manually lifted into place by Jeff and Tim.
It is satisfying to write the details on the closed crate; this is the column ready for its journey to its final destination.
It will now be kept in storage in the University until the Liverpool Museum is ready to install it.
