I need to build the Nicholas Brothers dance stage from Stormy Weather (1943) Musical. It looks 16 feet high, 20 feet wide, top platform is about 10 feet round, with six 4x4 x 8 stairs on both sides with two 3 foot wide slides on both sides curving to center, starting from the top. I have a picture.

I actually want to recreate all the set pieces from the movie.

How do we cut off a peak from a prebuilt stage?

@calstatelaalproductions2358 4 месяца назад

Not sure what you mean by a “peak” or what your prebuilt stage might be or how it is constructed.

Is 1 by enough to hold the weight of people and sets? Also are those 1x8s?

@calstatelaalproductions2358 Месяц назад

When used properly, yes. I make platforms out of 1x6 and hog’s-trough legs out of two pieces of 1x3. With good cross-bracing, I’d go up to 8’ tall platforms with this construction. With some traditional scenery practices that most don’t use anymore, you could go bigger than that. I prefer the 1x construction because it keeps the weight down.

@@calstatelaalproductions2358 I am looking to use it as an event/concert stage at about 16" high. This is good to know as I was going with 2x3s or 2x4s. But this way will make it much lighter for travels etc.

16” high platforms are perfect candidates for 1x6 framing and 1x3 hog’s-trough legs!
