Hey! I got to First Base! Safe!

A little pun fun.  But really, this is an important step.

I had to make sure that the base structure was solid and secure to be safe. -  And it is!
I also had to make it easy to set up in a hurry – like for a conference -  And it is.
I also thought it would be nice for it to have interchangeable parts. – And it does!
Above all, it has to be visually interesting, in fact downright compelling.  Otherwise what’s the point? This is art, right?  I find it pretty striking.  A big orange plastic Industrial pallet, chopped off in the back in a jagged semi-circular shape to blend with the circular arrangement of this unit with its peers (of various colors, btw).  A chunk of concrete joining it to the 6 ft smart phone frame into which I will place interesting objects.

Industrial?  Yes!  - Techy?  Of course!  – Primitive?  Deliciously primitive!


Having neither the help of ancient Druids nor a permanent location in which to sink giant stones, I had to invent an alternative means for securing the base of these monoliths.


Raised bolts mount the frame onto the concrete - Tilt is totally adjustable by via the four locknuts - A secret learned working as an eletrician’s apprentice back in my college days.  That’s how we set lamp posts into the ground to ensure their stragihtness.


I
heard about this guy who built a giant smart phone in his living room.  Oh yeah, that was me!

 What’s that?  A petroglyph? What’s that guy saying about the cow he’s chasing?
