Hi All,
I've just received the generous donation of an 8'x8' projection screen for JAWS (Thanks Terry! ). Only problem is, I don't have a stand for it & staples only sells Tripods for 6' screens.
I'd like to put together some kind of stand for the new screen. If anyone knows of either a place that sells large stands for screens or a good craftsman who'd be willing to help out, I'd appreciate it if they forwarded appropriate contact info to me.
Thanks.
Greg
Anyone know a good carpenter?

Re the new 8-foot JAWS screen. I had a little trouble finding this posting (sorry Greg!). I thought that it would have been under General or Serious Discussion. But I did discuss this at the last JAWS meet....
OK. I think you maybe need a mechanic not a carpenter.
Also, I *probably* have a decent stand. If not, then I think that I could adapt something.
I hope that I can meet up with you this weekend to go through my stuff and sort this out, as discussed in our e-mails, Greg. We have to make sure that what I've got is compatible beforehand (not next Wednesday at the Sentry Box of course).
BTW; sorry this is so tardy: nasty flu & stuff.

Well OK. About this new screen that the other Greg has had donated to JAWS. Greg brought it and we had a look at it at the last showing in May. It does NOT attach to a tripod assembly. Instead it is a WALL screen. Since the Sentry Box would likely not accept a donation of this - or maybe they would - but anyways we wouldn't want any "gremlins" there playing around with it ...we need to adapt this. So anyhow....
Yes, I've managed to cobble together a sturdy tripod out of old stuff - and I can also adapt it. Good news / bad news stuff: Bad news: this sucker is big, so we have to cobble it together, and test it, outside - and this wet weather has continued to suck... Maybe this weekend...so we can have it ready for next Wednesday.
The GOOD news: this sucker is SO big that it will almost touch the ceiling at the Sentry Box!!!!! I am not making this up!!! I took along a measuring tape last time... OMG Well, if your eyes have been knocked out before, prepare to succumb even further! This oughta really be a total visual trip... NO excuses for NOT attending!!
