Assembly was begun by piecing together the tip of the Egg with its own internal strut system on the ground; then lifting it onto the steel main axis; and securing it there, with assistance from John Sikoski, of Twin Lake Construction.

The main axis is a steel cylinder having a series of rings that accept bolts, fastening the internal struts to it; which in turn connect to specific tabs on the interior surface of the Egg's skin. To counteract any rotation of the Egg on its axis, an 18 ft. diameter steel plate was placed at the widest girth of the structure, from which additional strut supports were connected to the interior skin. The elaborate internal system of steel strut supports was fabricated by Cessco International Ltd., and fit like clockwork.

During the six weeks of assembly, Chamber members Mr. Ralph Gorrie, Vegreville's Supt. of Schools; Mr. A. J. Fedoruk, retired Principal; Mrs. Kay McKenzie, Town Councilor; and Mr. P. M. Shavchook, Secretary Treasurer, were enthusiastic and committed in assisting Prof. Resch with construction of the Egg. Each spent some 10 to 14 hours daily at the site, with Resch, and enlisted assistance, expertise, materials and equipment of the townspeople. "Should we use a bucket truck? Maybe the scaffolding won't help. Let's get the Co-op's forklift!" Lois Bienvenue and Peter Humeniuk, working the summer for the Parks Department, arrived to install construction fencing and stayed to help complete the Egg.

Photographer Annette Del Zoppo came to Canada from Santa Monica, California, to document assembly of the Egg and worked with local television stations to capture on film the various stages of construction; co-ordinating and overseeing a documentary which aired nationally on Canada's ITV, an Access North production hosted by Mr. Bob Chelmick. Daily visits from traveling vacationers and townspeople alike, to monitor progress on the Egg, encouraged the workers.
