The Best Screen is One That Works?

It appears that this broken projector was “fixed” by extending the signal cable down to a TV on a cart. Great cable management, guys!

Also, it would have been letterboxed content on a 4:3 screen, so I guess it’s better?

I’ll Bend Your Ear About The “Refurbished” Scaffold Planks

Recently we did some rear projection using Barco Cinema projectors.

These things are about 200lbs each.

The planks for the scaffolding were just recently replaced, and cheap plywood was used.

Friends, don’t use 3-ply 3/8″ for refurbishing scaffold decking. 5-ply marine-grade is what you want.

Tip of the hat to me, since I witnessed it!

Got the Bends? Bar It With Ballast!

Sometimes, fast-fold screens with weak hinges will simultaneously bow inward and upward.

This clever individual used a scaffold stabilizer, weighted lens case and trick line to make this screen square and plumb.

Because the forks were off by the time we got around to striking one section, we had to push cases through this slush.
