Actual: 3/4

(- 1/4 from 1" nominal)

Nominal: 1

Actual: 1 1/2, 2 1/2, 3 1/2, 4 1/2, 5 1/2... and up

(- 1/2)

a cutting machine consisting of a circular saw mounted on a movable horizontal arm.

1. Fence

2. fence ettiquette

1. Back stop on radial arm saw

2. brush away saw dust so wood can stay flush against _____

Don't leave running saw unattended

No loose clothing/dangling accessories

Detects electric impulse of finger, metal --> stops instantly

Used for ripping wood boards [and "sheet"... metal?] (making a "rip cut" parallel to grain)

Adjustable fence (wood goes between fence and blade)

Adjust blade to be 1/2" above material

Adjust fence so have desired space between fence and blade

High Grade: few knots, straight grain --> easier to cut

Low Grade: more knots, wavier grain --> harder to cut

Transmission = drill speed

For metal: slow (so piece stays stationary)

For wood: fast

Use oil to lubricate

Bit gets hot

Can also drill out shapes/gaps (mortise and tenon -- puzzle pieces of wood, fit together)

Can also be a sanding disc

A saw consisting of an endless, toothed steel belt which runs between two wheels

[image]

- Circular saw (literally a band of saw)

- For curves and steep angles

- Flimsy band, stationary blade (?)

- But also adjustable - up, down, tilt

- Teeth directed downward (to keep wood on table)

"teeth per inch" - refers to circular saw (?)

-  More teeth/small teeth = for metal (like lower gear for more difficult task)

- Fewer teeth/big teeth = for wood (like higher gear)

inverted table saw

[image]

Cuts angles

- can cut multiple angles in one cut (across 3-D space?)

For furniture, props

- Difficult to use; "cerebral"

- Brand = Milwakee

Claw - pulls out nails

Pull line taut over table -- snap string to leave straight line

Blue: carpentry (wood)

Red: framing (strong pigment that stains)

Charcoal: painting

[image]

Weight that hangs from string: to makes sure wall is 90 degrees from and parallel to ground

Squeeze nail, rock it out

[image]

aka "Diagonal cutting plier"

[image]

[image]

Makes dimple in wood, so not for fine furniture/hard wood

Flexible

Bigger teeth (for wood)

[image]

Rigid, straight

For straight cuts

Smaller teeth

[image]

Smallest teeth

For cutting steel

[image]

*Most important tool

Does beveling (transfers angles)

[image]

[image]Looks like medieval torture instrument

Holds 2 wood flats together

Carves foam

Shaves wood

[image]

Sander

Antique

Hard to use b/c use on angle (?)

Framing square

Combination square

Try square

T square

3/4 = vertical leg

1 = horizontal leg

3/4 : 1

Sides of flat that go on the top and bottom

"Cap" the other sides

Shortest sides

Pieces of the flat that go on the sides

Are capped by the top and bottom pieces

Are the longest pieces

Rectangular strip of plywood that holds parts of flat that make a T joint

- Cut to 2" - 8"

Center piece of flat that connects and is perpendicular to the styles

(Steps to build a Flat)

Step 1

(Steps to build a flat)

Step 2

A nail with 2 heads stacked vertically

Used to temporary fix lumber along correct line

*Important because need to fit lots of flats together

Step __: add toggle

a. find center of style with tape measure

b. place toggle

c. recheck if platform is square by seeing if toggle fits on sides too

Step __: Use combination square to make lines in corners for corner block position

*make it offset from edge of platform so other platforms can be flush against it

Step __: Put staples in where pattern says

- press style and rail together to decrease gaps (hold)

Step __: pull up duplex nails

Final step!

1. Traditional Flat

2. Hollywood style

What are two types of flats?

1. What was built in class

2. Heavier, thicker

108" - 9' NFR (Non-flame retardant) Muslin

*NFR b/c don't want oil in muslin so paint will stay

Step __: Place flat on top of muslin

*leave room for muslin to fold over

1. Pull muslin tight

2. Don't staple corner clocks or keystones

3. Start in the middle, then split the distance between staples

4. Put staples in at varying angles (so doesn't fully stress one grain of wood, to avoid splitting)

Step __: "Size it" --> paint with grey paint/starch so that fabric shrinks

*no "holidays" (paintless spots)

3/4 " plywood is used for _____________

(layers make it strong)

3/8" - 3 1/2" machine bolt is used to bolt a ________

[image]

1. Machine bolt --> used in bolting platforms (easier to remove)

[image]

2.  Carriage bolt -->used for permanent furniture like benches (a bitch to take out)

[image]

3. Stove (flat head) bolt --> has phillips head(??)

[image]

Material that prevents squeaks by being put inbetween platforms

[image]

Plywood piece that bridges between frames

(Keystones and Corner pieces count as gussets)

______ rule says: always use a fastener (screw) that is twice as long as the thickness of the material being attached

Ex: To fasten a 2" - 4" (nominal), you use a 3 in screw because the actual thickness is 1 1/2"

Screws save material

Glue and staple sends material to dump

basic black cloth used for masking and drapery

- flame retardant

Open weave material used for [translucent] back drops

Weaves: sharkstooth, bobinette, and gauze

Lighting effects: when light from front, opaque

When light from behind, transparent

--> can use for sudden appearances and disappearances

Cloth used in films as window glass

Expensive, but cheaper than plexi-glas

Open weave/has holes

Burlap material used to hold up curtains

[image]

Metal-reinforced hole in jutte webbing, for holding up curtain

Held up by tie lines

Pipe clamp

Only requires one person to put on

 [image]

Stronger than cheseborough pipe clamp

Requires 2 people to put on pipe

[image] 

Used to take slack out of cable (tighten)

(ends = eye, jaw, hook)

[image]

Clamp that finishes cable

[image]

Use cosby clamp to _______ cable

[image]

 Live side = main part of cable

Dead side = extra end that doesn't receive pressure

Saddle of the crosby clamp (on the screw end) goes on the live side of the rope (PIC IS WRONG)

u-clamp

 Always have this clamp be vertical, so pin doesn't fall out

Know where all costumes are kept at all times

In charge of stock/filing system

Becky does this

What are 4 ways costumers can obtain costumes?

1. Build

2. Rent

3. Pull

4. Buy

1. Draping

2. Tayloring

Flat patterning

Figure out shape of costume using math, because it's all flat

- Paint on dirt

- Use sand paper on seams

Microphones

Convert sound into audio signals, which travels down the cables to signal processing equipment

Mixing Console

Power Amplifier

(Receives audio signal from microphones)

1. Preamplification

2. Equalization

3. Mixing

Adjust tonal balance of all microphone inputs.

Achieve more pleasing or intelligible sound

2nd hardware part of Signal Processing

Receives output signal from mixing console.

Boost's signal level from line level (.1-100 milliwatts) to a high enough level to drive speaker (.5-500 watts).

Loudspeaker

Converts ouput of power amplifier back into sound.

If a room is "dead," then little effect

If the room has lots of reverb, the sound becomes severe --> must have sound system that can deal with this

Absorb sound: masking, people, wood walls

Do not absorb sound: Concrete, metal

Cuts curves and notches

[image]

Used to cut shallow designs in wood

[image]

Makes rough and deep cuts
