    Cool way to make Barbed Wire

    We did a similar thing for the original production and touring Miss Saigon. The actors cliumbed the fence so it had to be super safe. Started with a long pair of runs of stranded wire. Put them in a drill and twisted them eratically. Add the barbs in window screen spline(half hitch knot)...

    Safety Glasses For People Who Wear Glasses

    Scratch resistant anti-fog polycarbonate biforcals with the magnifiers on the bottom have been a big help since I turned 50. Mostly Uvex brand or whatever McMaster is carrying.

    So you rented a set, props and costumes for your show....

    Ornamental railings

    There are a lot of ways to approach this. We have purchased the cast iron and vacuum formed it, or made a silicone mold and cast it in urethatne. Cutting them in wood. Cutting in plywood and adding latex detail to make it more sculptural. But the best and most economical way if weight is not...

    Folded drop to reveal additional drops

    Cut into four pieces. Last drop tied to pipe with grommets. Three rows of velcro sewn to the top of the last drop. Three successive drops velcroed to the separate strips of velcro. That way you are only pulling on the drop that is tied.

    Conventional Fixtures Shatter-resistant Edison Lamps

    We have made clear plastic vacuum formed lightbulbs for a couple of projects. They are a two piece vacuum form shape glued together around a smaller lamp. I think we made regular A type bulbs for string lights for a Carousel tour and Mogul lamp sized one for Cirque du Soleil. One had a fake...
