Well, this is a first. I am posting in something other than software.
I am pretty handy, see the two 9' nutcrackers my sons and i built last christmas: http://meighan.net/build_your_own_nutcrackers
i have helped my brother build houses, have put in plumbing and electrical .etc. But, i am not sure mechanically how i might buiild this
I want teh ability to have a megatree and a matrix during my show. I plan on having my flexible strings be attached to u channel steel. I am not sure if that is the right name. They sell it at Home depot about 1/2" on 3 sides used for shelving.
I want to build a track and have my 32 strands roll together on the top into as tight a cluster as i can to get the megatree effect and then other times separate and give me a vertical matrix.
horizontally the matrix should be about 4" spacing. the bottom of the tracks would need to rise as i make the megatree since all 32 strands are the same length (approx 13').
Has anyone though of making such a mechanical device?
thanks
sean
