Concrete and rope.. a beginning.

Timescale has begun! Or rather, the art grant proposal for Timescale has begun. Assuming the Burning Man organization agrees to write me a series of very large checks, about nine months from now Timescale will be a reality.  One mile long, and about eight inchees wide (plus, you know, about 50 feet of buffer.. gotta have that line of sight through

You are amazingly creative and beautiful. Good luck with the proposal!

BTW, the best place to shop for materials is a place called White Cap. There's a few, including one in San Leandro, and one in SF.

I have finishing tools for concrete if any are needed.

Also had a thought. To keep the weight down, how about casting hollow concrete tubes? Say, you put a 6 (or even 4) inch tube inside of an 8 inch tube, this gives you a hollow center. Less material, less weight, less cost.... Just a thought.

Best of luck - I remember when you were first talking about this and I'm going to really enjoy watching it come together from a distance - as well as seeing the final piece! If you need any help on the playa, more than happy to raise my hand :)
