More Top...

Well we started to the top a while ago, but I needed a bit more frame work so we added more.

Tony curving the steel to the base


Jannette helping


MMMMM, Lots and lots of vice grips make sure everything goes where it is suppose to.


And then hot girls in uncomfortable postions.
Why do the gods love me so, and why do the monkeys put up with me.

GRRRRRRATE




You have to have a grate and you might as well make lot of grating puns. Regardless it looks great




Stuart working on the grate, each piece is hammered down so it lays flat, then drilled and then rivited.



I'm wondering if I should concider making furniture..




Hammering away

Well we are moving ahead working with the hammer.


Above is Chris our newest Monkey, working on branches for the tree.



Above is Julie working on her tapers by making stakes, ahhh BM stakes (tabasco stakes are the best stakes on the playa)

Brian working and consentrating hard, also practicing tapers by doing stakes (did I mention these stakes are for sale, e-mail me if your interested.


And finally Julie feeling very good about what she has done.

The troops go on and on

So besides working on the base these girls are also working on the grating which will be inside the cauldron.




Now that most of the base is finished it time to start working on the top. This is just the frame we are working on.




Oh and don't forget we have to still work on the Tree Spire for the temp install in Reno Sept 4th install.
