Brian Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 No, the insert has a cutting thread on the outside, tapered start. You drill a hole into the frame, then screw the insert into the wood with an allen key. These? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanhj Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Thanks folks for all your help and comments. Unlike some Amdram groups that Ramdram has worked with, but he wasn't to know it, we do know how to "walk" flats without handles. No one is allowed to crew until they have been taught how to. As for joining the flats together we have found that pin hinges work to a degree, for instance joining backing book-end flats that are easier to load and unload individually and then pin hinge together once in the theatre. Flats used in a box set can also be pin hinged because, they are not going to be moved, so there is time to get the ladder out and drop the pin in at a height of 10, 12 or more feet. However for quick changes, I agree rope is by far the quickest way. OK it takes some practice, but it's like riding a bike, once you can do it, you don't forget. Thanks again for your comments.
