I am new here, well not really. I've lurking around for some time, following most of the discussions and argument while gathering all the materials to start my build. So far I have these:
HP L1506 15" $100 off ebay
Triplets 315 mm and fresnels from a OHP $ 16 for all ( also off ebay)
400W MH from a signboard lighting unit $58
I'll be hitting the lumber yard next. I am thinking of going Haas, looks so cool.
I will be working on it during the holidays, I guess, the better reason to leave the family events.
