Chava's Drawings.
Eventually I was invited to do a project with the Fabric Workshop in Philadelphia. I pitched them different ideas, among them customizing the scissor lift. They liked it and finally we are making it.
I am working with legendary radical bed dancer world champion Salvador “Chava” Muñoz from Colotlán, Jalisco. After seeing the photo montages and getting a used scissor lift we came up with a plan. The idea was to graft a Z-rack on top of the scissor lift. On the base of the basket we installed the hydraulic pumps and the batteries. On top of the Z-rack we are making a new basket that will unfold and spin. The Z-rack also turns and the base of the basket tilts up.
These are a couple of technical drawings that were made by Salvador to figure out the system and the flow of the oil in the hydraulic pumps.
