    Video Transcript

    "Hi, my name is Gary Mitnik. I'm a sculptor here in Sedona, Arizona, and I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. Before I even gate this whole thing up, we have to look at the piece and say, "Okay do we have to cut it apart?" This is where the artist really hates it. This particular piece, this arm is cut off, this arm is cut off, both parts of the towel are cut off, and the leg is cut off, and a patch is cut out of the back. There are five or six different parts that are all broken apart. But you have to gate all those separately, on a separate cup. Now if you want to, we'll go into the slurry room where we're in the process of drilling the shells out and getting ready to burn the wax out."
