    CM & Milwaukee announce the first wireless, battery chain hoist

    So the question to me is, will this be an outlier product 10 years before it’s time, or the first in what’s sure to follow?Time will tell.

    CM & Milwaukee announce the first wireless, battery chain hoist

    I’ll say the same thing I said on FB:This isn’t going to replace your whole rig of hoists (yet). This is going to be super handy when you need to spot rig things around the grid, bring stuff up to the grid during load in, or put picks on things before you dead hang them.Pretty much anywhere...

    Vertically connecting flats

    What kind of flats? Hollywood or Broadway? What are they framed with and how are they finished?99% of the time I’m working with Hollywood flats skinned in Luan or Masonite, and framed in 3/4” plywood ripped to 3-1/2” wide. For straight walls I usually just screw them together. For your...

    Vintage Lighting Mogul bi-post to SBC adapter

    I was laid up with COVID the past few days but I was able to get out to the garage today to get some pics of all the labels on the unit. I’m rewiring this for a friend who’s an English teacher/drama club counselor at a local high school. She was gifted it by her predecessor and would like it to...

    Vintage Lighting Mogul bi-post to SBC adapter

    Here’s a neat widget I’ve never seen before. It adapts the medium bi post socket in a studio fresnel into a single contact bayonet socket. My guess is this was to convert from standard incandescent to halogen lamps.

    WTB: Pin Splitter II

    If you can get your hands on one, the Ultimate Focus Tools have a pin splitter built in to them. No pin cleaner brush tho.

    Vintage Lighting I bought this light for my kid, what can you tell me about it? Times Square Stage Lighting Company

    I've always been fascinated by those Times Square fresnels. The casting design is incredibly vintage, old-old skool, like something from the 1910's-20's. Ive always wondered, are they/were they using old patterns, or did they design it after a vintage fixture?
