That has got to be some neat stuff... do tell? Eric --- End quote --- Yep, a variety of "neat" things! You note that I do both set and machinery construction, that's because there isn't that much work around, so I do sets, "dumb" TV Police series, which have always the same things, Hospital, police station, prison, prison visiting, interrogation room etc. It can be fun, walls that get blown up, ultra thin façades to put on buildings so that they can be painted to look like they just burnt. The fun things this year have been. A pseudo mediaeval ladder with rope lashed rungs, eight metres high, the rungs sliding beneath the stunt man's feet whilst he stood on a discrete roller-skate bearing carriage, which kept everything parallel so that the rungs didn't jam up! I hacked a 1.10m diameter clock so that it could be made to run fast to fast forward time. I made three doors for three "takes" of the woman judge in the series opening the door with a crow bar, they were made with 0.6mm instead of the normal 1.5mm and the angle 30 x 30 x 5mm folded out of 0.6mm to look like it was 5mm thick. Times have been better, but I'm getting by! Regards, Matthew |
