Waste not, Want not

After all the modification to Sir Bones's skull, he is starting to be a little too top heavy for the base.

What was needed would be some extra weight.

The Logitech microphones came with quite a heavy base and they will save having throw them out.

There should be enough combined weight to keep Sir Bones upright.

The first step was to prepare the base.

Preparing the base involved marking out where the extra weight will be fitted, cutting off anything that would stop a good contact and scratching the surface of the pottery base.

Next the weight had to be shaped to get it into the best position to act most effectively. The best position for Sir Bones would right at the front of the base.

Using a drill with a cutting disc the weight was shaped into the correct size.

With base ready, and the weight cut to shape, we can proceed with putting it all together.
