Hi everyone!
High school theatre teacher here, in over her head as usual. We are just about finished building a 16 ft turntable. It will be rotated manually, in-between scenes, a spiderweb of 1x4s on stage with casters facing up. Top platform is just two layers of plywood. Center steel flanges/pipes for pivot point. Now I must install a wall through the center of the circle- so 16 ft across. Originally 10 ft high, but 8 for extra stability and ease of build.
The flats will be decorated on both sides.
I'd really like someone to tell me the best way to do this. most flats i just throw a big jack on the back, but it'd be hard to hide.
also- while we are at it- does anyone have any good guides to carving foam into crown moldings?
