UMMMMMM??!!

I don't get it. Let me see if I'm Understanding this. A bunch of guys get together and spend hundreds of hours on an incredible monument or piece of cnc work. Build something that could be in a museum as an example of modern art and then.... just burn it in the desert??
What am I missing? Seems kindof like a waste to me but I of course never heard of the Burning Man nor know of its significance.

A close look at some of the pics suggests that much of the material may be skeletons and other scraps leftover from some large CNC operation, with some cut-on-purpose structural stuff in there to hold it together until the flames come.

Kind of a cool way to dispose of one's trash, if you ask me. And who doesn't like a nice campfire?
Personally, I'd like to go one year.

It would be one heck of a ShopBot Camp!

Here's a link to pictures of a temple that the same guy did in San Francisco. David B. was correct...an article about the temple says that the pieces were recycled from a toy factory.

That's really slick! I like the way that he took 2D cuts and combined them to make an overall 3D design.
