I have been thinking about the ultimate ways to make Hollywood style stock flats.
I personally love Broadway style and even soft flats, but no one seems to use them around here.
This is what I have so far
basics.
1x4 stiles, toggles, and rails.
toogles two feet on ceneter
stapled with 1 3/16 narrow crown staples
wood glued
face in laun 1/4 inch
staples with 3/4 narrow crown staples
wood glued
now what i am thinking
Finger jointing the corners to keep them from separating.
Or maybe trim the wood to allow for an inset key stone at the corners and maybe toggles. Keystones kind of get in the way though.
That or I could try a corner brace.
What else might you guys add to the ultimate stock Hollywood flat.
