So it's been a couple years, but I'm finally getting around to the drum riser project. I have never actually built a triscuit before and really like the idea for this project. The look I would like to end up with is a single super strong layer that's about 4" thick. With casters. I want it really stout, the band teacher is a bit picky and wants to make sure it doesn't have any vibration issues. I was wondering what you think about the idea of building a single giant triscuit. Make it out of 2x2 framing internally, with 1 1/2" rigid foam insulation filling in the gaps between 2x2's. Use ton's of liquid nails on it in order to make the foam core part of the triscuit construction. Should make it really dead sounding and be very strong.
I"m going for 6 1/2' x 7' for dimensions (yeah I know that's small, but that's about as big as I can store). So I'm dealing with odd sizes. I was thinking about using two layers of 1/2" plywood top and bottom in alternating directions, to put even more stress in my stress skin. In other words the design would be:
1/2" oriented left/right
1/2" oriented up stage/downstage
central frame of 2x2 and 1 1/2" rigid foam
1/2" oriented left right
1/2" oriented Up stage/downstage
Is this crazy?
