[SML] Big Blocks of EPS

[Richard John Archer]

Why not e mail the TD at either/both  the Playhouse or at Great Lakes Theatre?  TD at Palyhouse is newer to area but Mark at GLT has been there for 30 years or so.  He ought to  have an opinion.

I was thinking about creating them from a combination of Sonotube and a collapsible children's playtunnel for the curve or perhaps sculpting the whole thing out of foam. If I go with foam, I will probably need some blocks that are 30"x30"x8' No, they won't be 8' tall when completed but I will be cutting off 2' and affixing it to the front, top edge to create the curved top of the stand pipe. When we are done with the pipes, they will be mounted to castered basses.
