Building Sets for Theater
This is my go-to book for classic construction methods of stage flats, platforms, step units, and so much more. Every scene shop should have one of these in the crew office. The book is filled with step-by-step instructions on how to build wood scenery with basic shop tools.
Stock Scenery Construction Handbook is an easy-to-use, complete manual on scenery construction. It has over 180 full-page drawings showing construction techniques for every conceivable kind of stock scenery piece.
