solex Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hello all, I had the benefit of training at LAMDA on the theatre technical course where you get to work on every department in a typical theatre, though I specialising in lighting. Since my training I have worked as a dep lx as well as being the designated sound person too. This means that while I had training and helped to build entire sets out of wood and metal its been 7+ years since I've done more than light carpentry maintenance or building the odd thing for the workshop. Sadly due to a few bad events all of my course material is no longer with me. I'm currently starting to plan a personal project where I will be also constructing large amounts of the set. Googling for reminders is helping to bring back my dusty memory from set construction, but having a good book/recommended reading material to take the place of my lost notes would be a huge help. Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easter5053 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Backstage handbook is a bible when it come to technical theatre. Includes extensive sections on construction, materials, and even drawing standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivemaster Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Speak to your old tutor, ask what the current book list is, go chat to your tutor, tell them how well you are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanSteely Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I can recommend the John Blurton book. I contacted John by email and he very graciously came back to me with some additional useful sfuff. DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
