Misleading title, for shame.

I hella love Oakland too!
That seemed like a nice piece of paneling.
If you're going to paint it, why not use masonite?
It's cheaper & light.

Thank you so much for this simple and quick tutorial. I was able to build the needed flats for my daughters production because of your little video. Thanks again.

I don't use glue on hard hollywood flats. It gets in the way when I am tearing it apart two shows later to build something else on a budget crunch. Recycling.

You guys should really be using staples instead of screws. With 1x4 (or 1x3's, as you use), screws have a high likely-hood of splitting the wood, which means strength is compromised.

well i'm in high school and i know how to build one. but if it works for u than it works for u
you do realize that none of your flats are SQUARE right. a flat should always be square and a standard 4x8 sheet is ALWAYS the right size. Measure and check i promise your flats will not be a true 4x8. Next time you start measure your sheet of quarter ply and you will see it IS a true 4x8. I would think that a factory would get it right. It is only their job right? If you have to shave off extra wood you did not build it right!

@smartguy5142 We're a college theatre company, not a factory. But thanks for playing.

Great but you don't need to be a "Master Carpenter" to do it.

@eyemagav Certainly, it's simply a title for the person in charge of construction on a theatre crew.
