AZburners Fire Sculpture
Second work party photos - Feb. 18, 2006

Once again we started on a cold morning with Ty cutting angle iron, Richard using the plasma cutter, Blaster and Hotfoot on the welders, and Mr. God directing. As people arrived, they were put to work until there were way more people than jobs. The goal was to get all three armatures completed and get one fire tower skinned with sheet metal. We exceeded our goal and got the skin on parts of the other two towers.

Blaster cuts sheet metal with the plasma cutter.

Blaster and Hotfoot position sheet metal on a section of tower.

The first tower section is completed.....

....and the party begins.

A new "fire pod" is tested by Blaster and his crew

This party saw a fine big group of people coming to help. We had probably a dozen people for the work and a couple of dozen for the party. TC taught Suzanne how to weld. Blaster brought a couple of propane cannons, Blaze spun fire, we had a burn barrel and the spinning fire sphere going. Jerry brought some great shrimp soup. Hotfoot cooked ribs and hotdogs on the barbecue, and Gary mixed up a big jug of margaritas. We had a couple of people from a college in Phoenix start filming a student documentary on the creation of the fire temple. They joined in the work and the party and will come back for the next one. Big thanks to everyone who helped make this event productive and a lot of fun!

The next work/party is Saturday, March 18th. The goal for this party is to complete the skinning of all three fire towers and begin detail work and decoration. We should be able to do a test set-up of the whole thing by the end of the day.
