i am a 16 year old owner of a stage production company and I have actually build 2 3/4 thick 4'x8' platforms with 24" legs and that was a year ago and there very wobbly and honestly after watching this video I am going back in summer to cut them in half and have 4 4'x4' platforms and add cross beams to the legs for support.and I am most likely going to make 12 of these 4'x4' platforms for a 12'x8' stage and I will most likely paint them black with rustolium and in the front with stencils spray-paint "STAFF ONLY". Honestly you did a great job and thank you for the enlightenment ,have a great day.

You are AWESOME!!! This video makes me miss my dad. Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us!

@ronwass 3 года назад

Dad's are great. I miss mine too.

Reminds me of the time my dad and I built a 8 foot wooden jump in five hours. I miss him a lot. Thanks for your video.

@JamesArthurRyall 2 года назад

I really enjoyed watching this video. You are a very precise man in your builds and training. I am going to get more of the clamps to help keep the wood together during assembly. Thanks

If you drill all the holes through one leg and then use that leg as the pilot holes for all the other legs then all the holes end up the same place on each leg. Then u take any leg and use that to place the holes on the corners of the platforms themselves. That way u can use any leg on any platform. I did it that way to get away from labeling and it worked out great.

Good idea.

Thanks for the vid the design and pics is just what i was hoping to find so as to not reinvent a wheel. But please don't use that mitre saw with your thumb that close to the blade. Be safe.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING SO THOROUGH AND WALKING THROUGH THE STEPS SLOWLY SO WE CAN GET WHAT YOU'RE DOING WHILE YOU'RE DOING IT.

Many thanks for the kind words.

Brilliant, thank you.

Cool

@frankburton5460 Год назад

Super cool! I’m working on a portable stage for my kids for them to take to the park. One likes to sing, the other plays guitar, one likes to talk & tell jokes, so a portable stage would be PERFECT! This one attaches to a bike and transforms from a sign to a stage. The problem (for now) is. stability. I want to insure its safety Before I go any further. Need some advice on it.

@captainkttyhwk 2 года назад

i made it without legs (4x8). I use milk crates underneath. 1 on each corner and 1 under the center. they lock themselves in good enough.

@Rudehooper 3 года назад

Would you recommend using a center joist for 4X6

@ArtVandalay666 5 лет назад

Thanks for the great video. I am definitely gonna take a stab at this. Question--how tall do you think one could reasonably make the legs before stability becomes an issue? I plan on using the area underneath the riser for storage and would like to get an idea of how much I will be able to store under there. Thanks!

Sorry, missed this. I can not speak to a safe height. Personally, I wouldn't go higher than where you wouldn't be injured if you tripped off. 1 or 2 feet max. I make no warranty as to the safety of this in any way. Please consult a structural engineer.

@mymusicalliance 4 месяца назад

Any idea what kind of weight this would support. We have a 4500-pound scissor lift we need to be able to use on it so we can reach our lighting grid easily

Actually working on an 8x8 drum riser with 4 4x4 sections when I found your video. Wasn't sure what I was going to do about the legs but I like how you did yours. I want to be 2' high. I'm thinking about 2x6's for the legs so I have a little more meat on either side of the bolts. I was thinking about using T nuts for the bolts. Do you think that would be a good or bad idea?

@ronwass 2 года назад

Anything that weakens the structure is a bad idea. T nuts just don't have the same holding power as bolts.

Hey by the way are you from central Long Island? Your accent sounds like maybe a little bit of a background somewhere along the Nassau/Suffolk border if I had to guess. Cheers.

@redwhitephotography5454 5 лет назад

Thanks. I am looking in to something like this for a couch riser -- for 2nd row seating in a home theater. Do you think this would be a good solution?

@ronwass 5 лет назад

For a permanent installation, I would probably want something nailed or screwed to the structure of the room.
