Assembling the Tower

There were hundreds of numbered parts, some of them over nine feet long. Thousands of nuts and bolts. The Love Projector Camp built the tower like a giant erector set.

Tower 1.0

The first tower went up two years in a row (2008 & 2009), and was more or less eyeballed and constructed on the spot. We somehow bought exactly the right amount of 1x2 at a home depot run we made while on the drive up to the festival. Based on some scribbled estimates on a napkin. Some sawing. And a screw gun.
