Thanks for the trip down memory lane all above. Been years and forgot about me running them years ago. Spot Dot's are where I work, out of style and have not been requested in years. Teleroid sites are more often requested. Sorry no link or idea of why.

A project manager came over to me today to borrow wrenches. Moving lights installed the clamps with an impact driver and they were not movable even with fiber washers between clamps. A fiber washer is a fiber washer which ensures tension of bolt but kind of a frictionless washer to allow some...

that's an alien term to me.... New QOTD!Was the above 7/16" wrench defination as to a flat head screw in sizing entertaining for anyone, as for my department? Ah' I get it.

Ah' thanks for the reminder. Time is indeed up.For some reason it's common to define a bolt in various un-educated ways.So... 7/16-20 x 1.1/4" SHFH screw labeled bin - for storage of those bolts. SHFH means (hex) socket head the driver as opposed to something like phillips head...

Tim, I see your point and have even run into some like.... this was supposed to be Digital LED tape.... Nobody ever brought that up to me, nor was it in my documents for quote or email chain... even video confrences with the entire design team where later I was taken off camera at one point...

I remember similar, but I think the actual stage floor is obsolete now. I also wonder what's going on with sprung floors these days.

So curious given I no longer work a stage but have done many... What's the best plan, or is there a coating that could be put on it?

Is 1/4" MDO available? Step up to 1/2" MDO in throwing out an idea. What surfaced materials are road cases made from? More expensive but a few more moppings lasting?Tempered Hardboard, is it still even available as opposed to just hardboard? Gears clicking in not up to the most modern...

Jay T figured it out. No doubt he has run into this similar problem of bolts requested before. It's a semi-common bolt question seemingly in often for me.Bin was believed to come from the LED dpt. they have their own stashes of bolts or do dump and run's on the shop bolt wall in either...

I am amazed that E-Bay has none and RoseBrand has none. https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrNZ5z9wjFmUWYIZ7gPxQt.;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzEEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Ny/RV=2/RE=1714566013/RO=10/RU=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P47aXTDdib8/RK=2/RS=.A7Vn0npp50SVBq3qr0zPHkNkMo- Best I could find in... that's...

Good challenge than. As above "I have to explain to people bolt/rod stock in size and next concept threads per inch or mm. O'gee," - above.What am I explaining is a slap upside the head on what, who labeled the bin didn't get. And the superviser approved of the labeling in also not...

First hint.SHCS = Socket Head Cap Screw. SHFHS / SHFH = Socket Head Flat Head Screw.This person understood the "SHFH" description as told, the initials in how to describe the bolts in labeling. Someone told this person enough to label the bin but not enough to educate or properly mark it...

I have never used the stage screw. See the holes and have at times seen the stage screw floor insert on a deck. Wondered about the placement of them at times. But have used stage braces - normally screwewed into a weighted base plate with rubber bottom. Always love seeing a bracket wall...

Just ran across an empty bin that wound up in my department marked as such labeled for the bolts to be stored within it.Fascinating what they meant by it.. Took me a little while in sharing with my department the lables of what specific bolt was to be stored in the bin and in laughing. But...

I have a few boxes of stage brace hardware and Oak is the wood.. I don't have the center clamp, but do have each end fittings for good home.
