You are working fast on this project, good going.
Did you price piano hinges? I don't think they are as expensive as you think. Is this model going to collapse and fold for travel? Didn't you build a Zig Zag several years ago? |

The top just drops in and locks top box solid.

This shows how the top box folds.
http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w221/......ofri.jpg I make the top and bottom boxes to fold , and I make the center solid. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w221/......jx4p.jpg |

My goal for this week is to get the beams on... May not sound like much but they have to be right for prop to work.

This is what I use on my roller shades (in BLACK).
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3x5ft-Photograph......38470256 It is nonwoven fabric -- I like better than vinal or leather as it is not as shiny and is cheap. |

This is the latch I use on the top and bottom boxes.

I did get the beams cut out and put on. Because this is custom built for me it is bigger than most so I needed for design reasons to put on 4 beams. I will try to get a picture up soon.

I think a black shower curtain might work on the roller shades also ( I have not tried this )

It's coming together. Why did you offset the middle side black boards, this is what creates the illusion of thinness for the center piece.
Here is Jim Summers of Chicago, doing a local station publicity in Los Angles California in 1968 in Hollywood, for the Cavalcade of Magic convention. His assistant could not travel, so my wife at the time helped out. Click here to view attached image. |
