Hi all,
I have been building sets for years, but I've always been able to screw into the stages, and for once in my life, I cannot screw into the stage. This has thrown me off my game, and now all of a sudden I am all concerned about safety and things toppling. Please tell me I am just paranoid. The very rough set design (thanks ms paint!) is below.
I am doing a two-story Arsenic and Old Lace set. Do I just do weighted triangular braces for the flats? What about the platforms? If they're braced well enough and cut nicely, there should be no wobble, right? I've got a larger-sized Teddy that will be running up and down stairs. I am trying to make myself assume that the set's weight will keep it from wobbling, but still the worry sneaks in.
Thoughts?
