Hi,
We have a fairly well equipped scene shop at the high school I teach in, but don't have anyone officially designated to oversee it. (we're working to try to change that) There are a handful of major productions that come out of this shop and numerous small projects all run by different directors and set designers.
I am wondering if anyone has an organizational system to handle our dilemma. Each show has its own budget and left-overs are understood to be "fair game" so the disposable stuff sort of gets worked out by itself as do casters and misc. flats etc...
What I am looking for is how to store/manage/ hand tools and power tools and hardware in general so that things can be easily locked up, found or identified as missing/misplaced/broken.
Any help CB? They are offering me a TD -lite contract to oversee the school's black box space and make sure that technical needs are met for all of the simple "meeting/presentation" type uses. This would be an additional aspect to that contract, but we (the directors) see it as critical to all of our shows.
My plan is to take an inventory, but then what. How to handle tools that travel to our off-site theater and then return. Where and how are people storing hand tools/hardware that could easily be accountable?
