Video- Ivan- the first giant tree frog!

---

"Ivan" the first giant steel tree frog I built back almost 8 years ago. 9 feet long, 1000 pounds of hammered out 14 guage steel. This was a two year project. I built this beauty from a photo of a real tree frog. Upscaling and getting the body symetry correct was a big challenge. I designed this frog and his big brother, Bruno, so that it comes apart in 6 pieces for transport and set up. So making all that mounting hardware was another big time consuming challenge. 1200 feet of  framework.
