So Halloween gets a little crazy at work. Different departments decorate their areas in a friendly competition; the winning group gets pizza and parents bring their kids in to see the decorations and beg for candy. It's win-win.
It's also an excuse for me to build ridiculous things.
My group chose a superhero theme, and I decided I should turn our glass-walled data center into the Batcave. I'd put a Batmobile inside, and make people wonder how I got a full-sized vehicle through the door.
There isn't much to talk about here in terms of technique; the entire thing was build out of scrap wood and scavenged supplies, with the exception of the 2x4 "frame rails" and the box of wood screws that hold it all together. It was hacked together any which way I could, over a single weekend.
- It's 12' long, in two sections than can be separated and carried sideways through a door
- The wheels are off of my old Jetta, so they're full-size
- The fenders are kerf-bent luan
- The whole thing sits on a pair of milk crates and the wheels aren't attached, they just sit there, so the whole thing can be easily moved in pieces
Here are a few pics of the process:
