I can't help you, but Alex Weisman (icewolf08, one of the mods) is in Salt Lake City... hopefully he'll be along soon to recommend something.

I know that Oasis isn't "open" on the weekends, but they usually have people around the shop that could help. I also have the cell numbers of people from GTS for emergencies. If nothing else, give me a call (well email is better since we have a matinee and I can probably lend you a safety or two.

I'd help, but you're a little too far north.

sorry. I'm to busy building my own platforms. As much as I love my scene shop, on nice Saturday's I'd rather be outside with the kids.
