Whiskey Drome?

[Tom Heck]

Time to start thinking about a cool project for Asheville Maker Faire 2024. Anyone interested in building a Whiskey Drome?

That looks like a fun build. I'd be interested.

I corresponded briefly with the folks in this video and they sent me some of their notes. This so we don't have to start from scratch. 

I'm thinking the next step is to meet and discuss this crazy idea. One of my biggest concerns is storage - - I don't have a place to store this thing once we build it.

I think if it was built modularly, we could stack it up and I might could store it. Also a possibility to get some local cycling company to store it out of shared interest. I do have some contacts in that space.

I also want to offer that I have a large, flat area on which we could construct and test the build. I have a very good collection of tools for metal and woodworking, trailers to haul supplies and the build, and plenty of room to store piles supplies during the build.

Sounds like we might be able to build this thing!

Want to get together on a short call this weekend to discuss a plan? I think it's just the 3 of us.

Ian & John,

Sorry I've been out of touch. I was on a 9 day motorcycle trip and then returned home to a list of projects that required me to keep my head down.

I would very much like to get on a Zoom call to discuss this project. I have a Zoom account that we can use: https://bit.ly/ZoomWithTom

How about Thurs June 29 sometime in the evening that is convenient for the both of you?

Also, I guess it's time to move the conversation out of this google group. We can discuss where to move it to. I will propose creating a Slack channel.

I am in Salt Lake City for work until Friday. It is possible I could do a call on Thursday, but it would probably be late night for y'all.

I'm currently not off on any adventures like you guys. I am more often than not available in the evenings. Weekend mornings around 9am are good too.
