The toy gun option will probably be the best. A couple years ago, a kid around here was taken down by the police because the cap gun he was playing with in his yard looked exactly like the real thing.

have you looked in home depot at their component tool belts? I know it sounds like the typical answer, but last time I looked at their belts, I saw nylon components in standard sizes that might work for you. I would suggest places like House of Tools or KMS, but I'm not sure if there are...

for tablesaws, basically, the bigger and heavier the better. The lighter they are, the more they will vibrate and your cut won't be as straight, even with a fence. We use a dewalt open base contracters at work, since its the lighest, and if we don't go slow and take our time cutting, the...

I've had that happen before, it could just be a hum off of the battery which is what happened to me. I had to remove the battery and plug the laptop directly into a wall outlet.

You can always just rent black scaffolding. I see it all the time at work, although, it is mostly covered in sheetrock 90 and paint, but it is all made out of black steel tubing.

if a saw balde is bogging down, chances are your depth of cut is too great or the blade isn't going all the way through the wood. This cause more friction upon the blade and can cause it to bog down. Another thing that might happen is the gullies in the blade get jammed with wood. This...

I used the Leprechan 624 for some time and we found out that this problem can come with the soft patching on the board, so if you completely reset it, it should help some of it. The other problem is that the dimmer packs aren't set correctly. Check the dip switches on the packs and make sure...

These are for cornices and crown with a 45 spring angle, To find the mitre angle 1. The wall angle divided by 2= 2. press tan. (answer will be X ) 3. X times 5.5= Y 4. 3.88 divided by Y = 5. press inv. tan. thats inverse tan (3.88/((tan(angle/2))(5.5))) To find the bevel...

first off, cutting the cornice, you can either nest it on the saw and use a usual 45 degree mitre, or you can set a 30 degree bevel and a 35 degree mitre and cut it laying flat. I'm not quite sure what you mean by doing a positive 45 degree angle (this term wasn't used when I did these, we...

Stage Lights at home? Not good, huge fire hazard due the high current they typical draw (mosly the old ones, new ones draw less). Household wiring is either romex or bx cables in the new homes, knob and tube (ceramic knobs that hold the bare wire (more older homes, insulated in the later...

My old high school drama teacher asked me to also do a sound lesson or a series of lessons in addition to lighting. I do work for a professional sound company and run the studio, but I have no idea of where to start and how to teach it. Any ideas? The only equipment to be taught is the mixer...

My old high school lost their technical theatre teacher and now the acting teacher has to take over the tech. So he asked me if I could help him put together a lesson or a series of lessons for him to teach lighting to the students. Assuming the students have absolutely no knowledge, how would...

when we do pianos in the studio, well, we use electric which just plug into a DI and into the board. But when we did acoustic pianos, we used three mics, one above the piano in the centre, and the other two where in the back on either sides. that way, you get the highs in one mic, the lows in...

here's a slight problem with that locator, I am in Canada. More specifically Vancouver BC. If you can find a dealer near here without having to cross the US border that will be most appreciated or just what type of battery it is.
