Barndoor Roadcase
Pimp My Roadcase
Anyways, Here is a list of things I built on Thursday: Meat rack Barndoor roadcase The meat rack is a 3'x6' platform with 4 large casters, 4 vertical 6' pipes flush with short edge, 1' in from long edge, 1' apart, with 2 on each end, on each pair of verticals a horizontals a horizontal pipe 4' up and 6' up. Holds about half my inventory, will add more crossbars to hang more lights from (a meatrack is a device for storing lights.) The roadcase is a 1' square of 3/4" plywood with a 1" wide by 3/4" tall lip on top and bottom. There are 4 mini casters on the bottom. The lid is a piece of 1' square 3/4" plywood, 2' from a 1' square lip of 1" wide by 3/4" tall ripped lumber, connected by a 1' 11 1/4" x 1" x 3/4" piece in each corner. The facing is 1/4" luan. There are 4 padlock latches, and I am going to install guides for stacking the barndoors so that you can actually put on the lid. Didn't get much organizing done that day.  I'll post pics soon. Anyone build anything similar?

I like that "Meat Rack" idea. We usually just store our lights on the outside railings oft the catwalks (right beside the wall), but once you post some pictures, I might just look into making one of those!

So my school isnt the only one that stock piles seat parts? We have about 6 boxes with the plastic under seat part.
I have a few ideas in my head for road cases for our movers but nothing on paper yet.

Sorry I haven't got pics yet, I took them with my camera but the software to get them on the computer isn't working. I'll try a different camera tomorrow.

meat racks are awsome, i love them, especially for par bars. But that's more for on the road than in a theater.

Here are the pics!
EDIT: Links down, sorry! The roadcase really sucks and turned out to be pretty much a waste of time.

Well, your picture links dont work.
Meat Racks are good for theaters too. I would much rather walk into a room with all my fixtures hanging then on the ground. Plus it keeps the fixtures from being tripped on and causing parts to break off.
