I need as much 3/4 inch plywood as I can get my hands on for a piece of burnable art. Due to extrenuating circumstances with the City of San Francisco my budget has been drastically reduced so any and all donations are greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Nick

While this is a good idea and relatively economical. It is still more than I can afford and very labor intensive. The latest idea is to create a platform using 2x4s an d covering it with pieces of sheet metal (the thin kind that comes in rolls) I'd like to make it by just laying the 2x4s out in a fr...

Ok, I have an idea here

make a frame from 2x4s (with the 4" side vertical) with perimeter and central support Cover this with sheet metal, the kind that you can get in rolls and secure the sheets. what I'm wondering is: how thick should the metal be not to melt under the wood.

wow, that looks great, thanks. I'm wondering, has anyone else had experience with this stuff. Its hard for me to imagine that it will keep the canvas tarp from actually burning.

Would I want to put the sand underneath, on top or both, in relation to the tarp?

Are you going this year?

Ok, forgive me if I've told you this before. I have a 16' tall art structure made from plywood that I'd like to burn. one Idea to prevent scarring is to have a canvas tarp underneath to contain the embers from the wood via a long stick. The question is, what to have underneath, protecting the playa?...

I thought this would be a cool idea to do inside of a dome, but it would need a good screen on the inside with smooth edges, I think.

what about one using a smoke machine and a projector for out on the playa?

What could I make the foliage from?

so, a lot of cloud-mobiles, white and gold wings. I'm not sure how I feel about this theme. Of course there are no boundaries and limitations. I do, however see it as kind of...well, a lot of white and gold and not a whole lot of room to move around...maybe I could be eeyore and just whine about it ...

What is heaven's vault?

Ok, so I'm building this wooden model of a tree and burning it with chemicals so that it burns green. THe things I need are: Transportation Jigsaw/Jigsaws cordless drill space to work methyl alcohol/boric acid extra set of hands a place to burn an 8' wooden model of a tree (green) Its quite a longsh...

If I soak the wood in the copper chloride then let it dry do you think it would still have the effect.

The plan is for a burning tree, so kind of want the color in specific placts (along the branches/foliage)

maybe I could paint the particles onto the wood...?

I have an installation idea that involves green fire. I was wondering if anyone had and suggestions or experience changing the color of fire. I heard that epsom salt burns green. I've been on the internet and people sell chemicals and products but I was looking for something that I mioght find under...

I also need some space to do some woodworking for an installation project. I don't nee too muck space, 500 - 1000 sq. ft of space I can cut wood over and construct/deconstruct a 16' structure.

If anyone can help, I'd be more than happy to contribute what I can

Cool, the more the better.
Looks like you go out to the desert more often, I'd love to come party with you guys

I'm looking into making a mobile jungle unit. I'm looking for more junglists to band together and make DNB more prevalent on the playa.

the real bummbaclod

who are these tree dwellers? how do they make the tree?

here's the scene. I'm first night ever(thursday) wandering around the esplanade alone, passing up the GOBS andd GOBS of what I consider to be psy-crap (to each their own) then I come across 2 furred out guys sitting behind a couple of machines making live loops. they cross over eachother and move wi...

I love monkeys, so do you. we could make the camp look like a giant tree with rope swings and platforms...lots of monkey suits and bananna accessories. any more ideas?

04 will be my second year, and I am essentially Solo, thinking about taking a couple of virgins. The idea is for a giant tree that can provide shade during the day for yoga classes/drum circles/whatever. At the end I would like to burn it and have it topple over and crash into the ground. The fact i...

I think having people bring their own cups is a great idea, takes a lot of pressure off of the staff? of course the building would have to seal up for dust storms and open to let the breeze through, maybe doors on either end I can volunteer both on and off playa for this. I have moderate carpentry s...

if the playa is home, then how about "away"

I plan on building a large burnable structure on the playa next year and am looking for economical ways to prevent scarring. please let me know if you can help.

ok, so 2004 this will be my second year and my first installation or even piece of playa art at all. I'm open to all kinds of ideas and suggestions about this. I want it to be in the tradition of those models of dinosaaur skeletons that you can build out of wood. The idea is for it to be a bunch ply...
