Decatur Makers Project: Decatur Wine Festival

Last week I helped the Decatur Makers construct a giant wine bottle display for the Decatur Wine Festival.

It was a lot of fun and ended up looking pretty cool. It was three tiered platform for supporting inflatable bottles on.

The main supports were 3"pvc and the platforms were 3/4" plywood. The top of the highest bottle was more than 13 feet tall.

The wine festival was jam packed. I saw a lot of people taking pictures in front of our display.
