### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    If you just like hand tools, get this.  Just a great reference
  

*by M***H on Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2024*

I bought this to teach theatre scene shop.  It's a great reference for the students and a terrific refresher for the teacher (i.e. me).  Pretty much all hand tools and basic construction elements of theatre construction are covered.  It's obviously not exhaustive, but it's plenty enough to work from.  And it's just a nice aesthetic of a 'read'.  The illustrations are clean.  The content is well-organized and presented.I think anyone in theatre should own a copy of this book, whether they're building sets or reciting lines, not to mention that half of this book could be applied directly to home repairs.  There's no reason not to know as much as you can about your world and have a basic understanding of fundamental tools, right?

    Great book for theater beginners.
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2016*

I have worked professionally as an electrician in theater for six years now. Before now, I have never owned a copy of this book, but I've seen it around a lot. In college lots of professors had a copy. I decided to purchase my own copy mainly out of interest, because I'd never really looked through it before. Speaking particularly to the stuff that I know most about, electrics, and to a lesser extent rigging, this book is great for beginners to learn the basics. No, it doesn't really cover much on the "New hotness" of lighting (LED, DMX, and moving head units) but most theaters still rely heavily on standard ERS, PAR, and Fresnel instruments which this book covers well. This book also offers a simple and easy to understand guide to electrical properties and the basic properties of light.I enjoyed reading the parts that don't relate to what I do from day to day too. I even learned new stuff about areas of theater I don't know that much about like carpentry.The "Shop Math" section was also very valuable.

    One of the best references to have on hand
  

*by B***. on Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2024*

Years ago in what seems like a past life at this point, I worked on multiple stages as both a lighting designer / technician as well as a stage manager. Best years of my life. I picked up a copy of this book back then and it taught me more than I could imagine about the other disciplines in the back stage world. Rigging, set building, etc... This is a fantastic book for anyone learning stagecraft to have on hand. My niece has started to get interested in stage crew. I picked up a new copy of this book to give to her in the hopes that she can learn more about the discipline and may help ignite a passion in her similar to what gave me years of enjoyment and positive memories.
