Hey, this is LD4Life. I just found this site on January 18th and look forward to making full use of it. For anyone with any revolve/turntable experience, I currently have a thread trying to figure out how to build a small turntable for a show and would love any help you can give there. I will also be posting the specs for some really cool projection tricks that we are doing for this show after they are completed so you guys can use them as well. I look forward to working with all of you in the future.
See you around.

Welcome aboard! Since I'm the first, I'll give the usual run-down: use the search tool before posting, there're dozens of topics on here that are great resources. Ask and answer at will, and don't hesitate to bring up old topics as long as you aren't answering a question that was asked 3 years ago and was already resolved to the satisfaction of the OP. Post show pics of your lighting designs in the show pics thread (most of the older pics are dead links, but this thread is 45 pages long and growing every month).

Welcome to the Booth! It's a great community with lots to learn and we like to have a good time too. As for your turntable problem do a search on the word "Revolve" and you should be able to find an old thread with Van's design in it. Just do what Van tells you and you'll be just fine.

Hi from down under. Welcome to the booth. Now as far as doing what Van tells you. That's fine if it's theatre related but be careful if he starts talking about Pirates. A word to the wise.

Welcome Aboard.

Now Logos, I thought that disclaimer went for advice given by any of us...

In response to Gafftaper's post, I've looked through all the revolve/turntable threads, and none of them really have what I'm looking for. This is a very application specific turntable that has some very specific parameters needed. I have the design of the turntable itself taken care of, I'm just trying to figure out how to power it. It isn't a scenery revolve, it is a turntable within a very large prop that turns the top half of the prop, so it has to be motorized from within the prop.

Welcome Aboard! I'll take a look at your other thread and see if I can shoot you some suggestions.
As for Logos' comments, remember he's the progeny of convicts you can't trust him, whereas many a pirate were actually licensed by governments.

As I am an Aussie I'm incensed, with peppermints.

Now Van we've been through this before. License is the verb, Licence is the noun. Comprehende?
