"Hi, my name is Gary Mitnik. I'm a sculptor here in Sedona, Arizona, and I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. This is what the bronze looks like in its natural state. Usually we get it in ingots which look like gold bars and if it was gold I wouldn't be working here. But what we'll do is, if you can picture how this was gated, you had the sculpture sitting on top. We've cut off all the scrap, we'll sandblast this and reuse this. This is still good metal. What we'll do is, after it's all sandblasted we'll put it back into the crucible and re-melt it and pour it into another sculpture. It keeps the costs down for the artists and if there's enough texture you wouldn't even know if there was lousy metal in it anyway. But this is generally good metal and we keep reconstituting and keeping the metal quality up because it saves us a lot of time when we go to do the metal work. If you want to come on in I'll show you the metal work."
