Barlow_GHSS Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Our Club The Golden Heart Shootists Society needs to build some new stage props. Since losing the lease on our old range, a few years ago, we had to abandon the range and most of the props we had been using because there was no time and no place to store them. If anyone has some plans for building Plywood Slot-in-Panel stage props we would like to aquire copies. None of us are artists or carpenters but we can manage if the designs are simple enough and we have enough band-aids . Any help would be appreciated.

Tennessee williams Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I've got a set drawn out on the ground back behind the chicken run I'd let go real cheap. You'd have to come dig them up yourself though. I been wanting to use that one for quite a while. I would put this over on the wire. I bet there's plenty folks willing to send you some plans.

Sarge Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I just built a couple of moveable store front stage props. I did not use any plan, just kinda winged it. Built them in three sections out of 1 x2. Each section is about 4 x 8. The middle section is a doorway. Each side has a single window. Remember to make the doorway big enough for a tall cowboy wearing a hat. Same for the windows. Make em wide and high. I adjusted the bottom of the window height to fit the portable tables we use for staging/. I used flag style lift off hinges to hold the panels together. One of our club members had access to heavy cardboard sheets. Another member painted them. They came out pretty good and are portable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nota John, SASS #51089L Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Make some out of plywood. Start with the shape, then cut a slot the width of the plywood, starting from the top down half way on one piece, the halfway up on the other piece. This way they interlock and are self supporting. Pictures show samples. Campfire and Cactus pictures Yours. NBota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Barlow Check with Marshall Stone, in Wasilla. He is a good guy and can probably help. They have a bunch of portable target arrays and props and may have some usable plans. Imis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Be careful when designing facades. Many I've seen restrict ability for spotters to get a good view of targets. They can also limit the imagination of stage writing and stages become redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nota John, SASS #51089L Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Made a mistake. The slots are to be the thickness of the plywood, not the width. Can supply a rough drawing of the cactus if desired Yours. Nota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
