Glowing! Flaming! Lasers!!! Whee!!!! We have a ShopBot CNC table and a laser cutter! We bought them to “Do Stuff” and have we ever. We build large stuff and small, absurd and practical. Fresh off of last year's TWO successful large scale burns, one in Austin and one at Burning Man, we're now thinking small, and for sale. Hope you like our stuff...

Jason Mika

When he's not programming gigantic LED video screens, Jason Mika builds fantastic forced air and propane flamethrowers in the form of stainless steel sculptures that remind you of robots and rocketships.

Kenney Browning

Kenney Browning builds art cars. He also builds flamethrowers, metal sculptures, insanely modified motor scooters. He's been known to run about with lots of lit fireworks on his head!
