Hi all.

As a small commercial shop in NYC we have:

2 Radial Arm Saws, both 12".  One with an 18" cut and the other with a
24" cut
1 DeWalt 12" sliding compound miter saw
1 10" Powermatic Table Saw
1 Striebig 'Compact' Panel Saw (best tool ever)
1 Laguna band saw
1 Powermatic band saw
Assorted other small power tools

In our metal area we have:
1 Dry Cut metal saw for the steel - Very nice cut but loud.
1 DeWalt miter saw for aluminum cutting.

Both radial arm saws are Omga saws.  These saws are great, they have cut
straight from the day we took them out of the crate.  One of them we got
from EBay and the other came from our tool guy (not Home Depot).  I
forgot how nice it is to have a 'good' arm saw.  We bought the sliding
saw because it is easy and accurate for doing moulding.

The Striebig saw is great.  It is the only panel saw I have used that
cuts square, the cost may be prohibitive for you though.  Our Powermatic
cabinet saw is nice, it has an Accufence and is left tilt.  I would
stick with a cabinet saw as my primary table saw.  I really like the
Laguna band saw as well, cuts like a champ.  I think Laguna bought
someone's design for their lower end models... I could be wrong though.

If you have to make a choice for budgetary reasons I would get a good
table saw and a sliding miter saw.

Good luck!

Rod,

As I found out last year, it is really hard to find people in August
in London because so many are on holiday.  Both the National Theatre
and the Dury Lane have public tours that are not bad, but these are
not very technical.  You might also contact Shakespear's Globe and ask
about a tour.  I was there for two weeks last August, so I got to see
a lot of their theatre.

The London Museum is a great place to spend several hours and it is
free.  There is alo a Theatre Museum in London (near Dury Lane) that
is not too bad.  It is also free.

Charlie R. and I got a great tour at Stage Technologies. =20

Try to get tickets to see MARY POPPINS.  I have not seen it, but I
hear it is incredible.  JERRY SPRINGER: THE OPERA was a hoot. I am not
sure what will be at the National in August, but most of there shows
are excellent.

Have fun.

So, Bill, what is your favorite air caster?  I'm a big fan of those bad
boys, in the right application.

One caveat to anyone who has to/wants to use them.  Seal all of the seams in
your stage floor with clear packing tape.
ANY leak of air through the cracks will cause the unit to sit down and not
budge an inch.  Even if you are only running them at 20 PSI, the air will
finds the smallest opening.

A totally unfair and untrue statement!
Whilst not a desk that could cope with movers etc and not commonly DMX
(though I believe there were some later DMX models) the LBM gave us 12 years
or so of sterling performance. It did everything we needed it to do, and
more, and I'd say would have been at home in a wide variety of fixed
installations, am-dram or pro.
The versatility of having (on our custom desk) the 72 twin faders coupled
with the memory cue system meant that we, as a multi-function venue housing
everything from total newbies to occasional pro tours, could accommodate
most needs.
The only reason for us upgrading was the need to drive movers & DMX kit like
foggers etc, plus the extra headroom on the control channel side.

Subject: Colortran Encore Info?

Hi, all.  I've changed list addresses since the last time I emailed
this list, but I was the guy looking for storage ideas for a tiny
black box community theatre (80 person capacity) that was being
re-built after partially burning down.

The lighting board we are putting in there (if we ever get it built!)
is a donated old Colortran Encore.  It ran a theatre MUCH larger then
ours for years and our requirements are not large - no movers, no
scrollers, so I expect it will do the job.  We'll have 24 channels of
dimmers.  Any comments, hints, tips, secrets, etc on this board I can
pass on to those who will end up using it? (I'm more of a carp then a
lights guy)

As well, there's no monitor with it.  I haven't had a chance to pull
it out of the box and/or read the manual yet (being sort of occupied
with making sure that the theatre has things like a roof and a floor
and four walls) but if anyone knows a> if it uses a monitor and b>
what the specs of that monitor might be (cga? ega? vga? when do these
things date from, anyways?), that'd be helpful, too.

Thanks for the help :)

I worked at Glimmerglass a couple of years ago.  Nothing is more  
beautiful than that area in the summertime [provided its not raining,  
like it always seemed to while I was there].  Definitely make it out  
to Glimmerglass if you get the chance.  If you're there on a  
Saturday, stay and watch the changeover between the afternoon opera  
and the evening one.  While I've only seen a sped up video version of  
it [having had to work them instead], I've heard there actually quite  
interesting to watch.  The PM or another staff member gives running  
commentary and answers guests questions during it.  I still know a  
couple of people who work at Glimmerglass if you'd like me to contact  
them.

Restaurants:  In Cooperstown, there's a little restuarant not far  
from the Hall of Fame called the Bistro.  Very nice food and great  
atmopshere.  Not too terribly expensive for a trouist town in the  
middle of summer.  There's another great restaurant in between  
Glimmerglass and Copperstown on State Highway 80 on the lakeside of  
the road.  I think its the Blue Mingo, but its a seafood/steak house;  
pricey as I remember it, but well worth it.  The restaurant and the  
hotel/golf course just on the northern outside of Copperstown is also  
very, very nice.  Sorry I can't remember all the names, but it has  
been awhile.  Of course, I always went to the Arby's on the way to  
Oneonta or in Herkimer when I had the time, but I'm a sucker for  
sliced beef.  If its still open, you should check out Banana Dan's  
[Whipty-Dip as the folks at Glimmerglass call it].  Its the best ice  
cream shop/drive in food stand I've been to.  Its on US20, not too  
far east of the US20/NY80 intersection.  I highly recommend it.

I never went to the Baseball Hall of Fame because I wasn't a baseball  
fan when I was there.  [I also grew up in a tourist town, so I like  
to avoid tourist traps if I have the chance.]  The Soccer Hall of  
Fame is in Oneonta, which isn't that far away.  Always a good idea to  
check out Otsego Lake whenever you can.  There's tons of golf around,  
and just driving/biking around the countryside is beautiful enough  
for me.

Finally, a subject I know something about!  Let me know if you have  
any other questions.

I enjoyed this board. My big problem with it is it started to "forget"
things and began to create unusual cues during a show. It ran a local
college theatre here for 10 years until it was replaced with an
Express 24/48.

I have many fond memories on the LBM. I just do not necessaryily want
to have to work on one again. If I have a choice.

Nearby in Oneonta is Brooks Barbecue. Amazing chicken barbecue and
fantastic ribs. (The pork didn't do much for me)  

In Cooperstown proper there's a basement cafe whose name I don't
remember that was a nice place to grab a chili dog for lunch.

I've noticed some of the web-based mail programs seem incapable of quoting 
text.  Some also takes out or does other strange things with carriage returns.

Oh, and Eudora (which I use on the PCs here) shows quoted text as a 
vertical grey bar on my screen, but as you can see it gets fixed by the 
time you see it.

Cris - 

Is this what you mean:


http://www.e-lite.com/

These guys are in Trumbull,CT.  I'm sure there are other distributors, maybe
even some closer to you.

It is great stuff - but not cheap.

Does anybody have leads on vendors for electroluminescent sheeting?  Local 
to New York would be preferable.  Thanks!

I did some work for Glimmerglass a couple of years ago, and I can tell
you that it is a first-class operation. If you want me to contact the
TD and try to get you a backstage tour, email me privately. I did not
eat at any great resturants in the short time I was there, but the
Farmer's Museum was a great hands-on historical site that I highly
recommend. They had a really nice selection of old tools. I was not
all that impressed with the Fenimore Art Museum.

In places with bad floor, I'm kinda partial to the ones that employ a
bladder that works like a piston.  It forces down a standard caster which
then allows you to roll the unit around and then set it back down when
you're done.  What I think may be the problem with the current location is
just how rough the floor really is.  If it's "off-road" rough then there's
not much hope no matter what you do.

The Spoon Group has a very snazy style that you apply air pressure and 
it locks both the roll and swivel of the caster.  They are very 
expensive but they work very well.  You wouldn't use them as all your 
casters I just made two 12' (11'6") circular platforms that had five 
triple swivel casters (four compass points and center) and four airlock 
casters centered between the compass point casters.  They locked enough 
for 4 dancers to do full choreography on them.  The actual caster 
without the pneumatic piston costs about $45 and I believe was 
developed for airline cart use.

I'll second that... My old highschool has an Encore that is now 15 years
old.  They have yet to have any trouble with it.  Good board for what it
is/was...
