I have a few things you may enjoy at my site

SquarePegRoundHole.multiply.com

Multiply is a networking site much like facebook. all items on my page will always be kid safe as I am a teacher, however, some of the people who have linked to me may have artwork of more risque nature (adult fantasy art).
I have a few videos of origami, juggling, and magic. I have photos of my Impossible bottles, cabinets I build, and sets I have designed and built for television and theatre.
If you need apparatus built for your show, please send me a PM. I have dabbled in magic for years and I have built for stage and theatre for more than 30 years now. I have built cabinets and constructed things as complicated as beehives. I understand the need for perfection in stage performances as I also have done technical theatre and performed as a mime for many years. I would love to get into the building of magical apparatus. I work in plastic, metal, and wood and I am detail oriented. I am self taught in many areas of engineering that are ideal for creating the effect you want or need. I specialise in the area of creating fast assembly sets, which can be put together in under 30 seconds by a minimum number of assistants.

this beam
squarepegroundhole.multiply.com/photos/a...ssi-bottl-ty#photo=1

is comprised of three sections which assemble in less that 15 seconds. It is stable enough for the \"workers\" to climb and move safely and easily. it can dissasemble in less than 30 seconds.

enjoy

Compliments, it seems that you make a lot of interesting stuff!
...including the insonorized box for drumset (you know... I am a drummer also...!)
Cheers

The isonorized drum box was built for a friends drum set to help his church regulate the drum sound through microphones.
We actually took dimensions from his drum stick shield and built the box to fit with his shield. The top and bottom rails have a quarter inch dado to accomodate the plexi, and dimensions were taken to the center of the hinged panels (i.e. hinge pin to hinge pin. A stick was placed at the furthest receding points and XY coordinates were taken by tape measure to give me the angles. It was built off location totally separate from the shield and went together perfectly at the church.
(It impressed me as well as him :) )
