Now here’s something not everyone is doing… This group, headed by Andy Tibbetts, is building a mechanical, land-going steampunk pirate ship! Named the C. S. Tere, the group plans to finish the “ship” with sails of fire. Building this metal beauty took the combined effort of dozens of people who spent hundreds of volunteer hours welding, painting, cutting, lathing, grinding and more. Clearly the effort paid off as the C. S. Tere made its debut at Burning Man last year.
These are the things I love the most. People building cool things out of reused or scrap materials! This is why I construct my airship sculptures out of paper mâché and other scrap materials. Something beautiful and useful from something bound for the landfill.
What cool things are you building?
