Getting in my practice. Flat-ctice. Flactice?
There was a day during a mainstage show’s load-in notes where I was sent back to the shop to start build on the next show by myself. I was happy that once everyone joined me in the shop, I had most of the show built.
Method: 1x3 Hollywood style build, glue and medium crowned frame, glued and narrow crowned facing, seams and staple holes joint compounded and sanded.
A set with a single entrance.

The director and scenic designer wanted a sleek and simple set. Only one clear entrance or exit for the space, yet run crew wanted to be able to make transitions happen seamlessly and unseen. So naturally, you need to conceal where they come from.
Angled doors for angled doorways.
Tom decided to make these doors more concealable, they would just slot right into the frame. When we were offered the plates for the show, I opted to take the most difficult ones as I wanted a challenge and something to learn from.
Method: Beveled framing down from 1x4 or 1x6, glue and medium crowned frame, and glued and narrow crowned facing.
