Tool Safety Videos
Here are some pretty thorough safety videos made by the Power Tool Institute. They may feel a little long, but they have important information.
Please remember that these tools can be dangerous. Even if you have had previous experience with tools, these safety precautions are essential. A Yale University student was killed a few years ago when her hair was caught in a lathe.
Table Saw
Miter Saw
Circular Saw
Stagecraft students need to watch these videos before they use tools in class. Scene shop employees need to watch them once each year.

Sculpting Foam Balusters
I built a hot wire cutter to sculpt some balusters out of EPS foam.
Here's a video to see it in action. The sound is muffled since we're wearing respirators.
And here they are in use for Much Ado About Nothing
Thanks to Jacobs Online for helping me figure out what transformer to use.

Converting Audio File Formats in Apple Music
MP3 files sometimes have timing issues and can skip or hang up, especially on large files. It is always better to use WAV files or AIFF files.
If you have an MP3 file that you want to use for a show, you'll want to convert it to a WAV file.
Here's how you do this using Apple Music:
Note: If you purchased the file online, it may be restricted and you may not be able to change the format.
If you have an MP3 file that you want to use for a show, you'll want to convert it to a WAV file.
Here's how you do this using Apple Music:
- Launch Apple Music. Make sure your Apple Music import settings are set to wav by going to the Music menu > Preferences > Files > Import Settings > select create using WAV Encoder.
- Back in your music list, highlight your desired sound file and go to File > Convert > Create WAV Version.
- Drag the new version from your music list to your desktop or show folder.
Note: If you purchased the file online, it may be restricted and you may not be able to change the format.
QLab Transferring Files - Bundle and Zip
When you are transferring your workspace from your designer computer to the show machine (or to upload for an assignment), you want to make sure you're grabbing all of your content files as well as the workspace. The best way to do this is to bundle your project. This video from class walks you through how to do that.
