The metal protection is pulled off carefully to avoid breaking any of
the pieces.
Not all of the pieces survived. Art Professor Doug Calisch picks up a
few broken pieces that will hopefully be glued back together to the
original shape.
Matt Levendoski '12 (left) and Adam Fritsch '09 gently retrieve pieces
from the pit.

The pieces are left to dry before repair work and final waxing begins.
Some pieces need more repair work than others.
