Major Project Unit: Project Update

Just reading a little introduction to building a set. From overseeing the set build for As Live, I have a good idea of what is involved. The plan is to paint the flats in the morning after picking them up, but rain is forecast all day at the moment and we need to paint outside. We have help from the wood technician only on Monday, so the aim is to get as much done as we can. 

Basically we have 6 flats of 4x8 in. To create 2 walls, one with a window. 

From this website: "To build a set using flats, several are placed side by side and screwed together. Wherever possible add angle bracing (more 1x4s) attached on the hidden side of the flats, about 2/3 of the way up, slanting down at about 30 degrees to the deck or stage, where they're anchored. These make the whole structure rigid."

So I'm making a list of all the tools we'd need. The campus should have some, but it's always good to be prepared. Here's the plan for our set:
