So glad they worked well for you, Kiki!

White doesn't have the right opacity level to let light through. You can try it, but I'm fairly sure that the white would block 90% of the light from your LED pars. Plus, the white would reflect more of the ambient light in the room. If the columns are in a very dark part of your room where you get almost no ambient light wash, then white may be OK, but even then I doubt it. I had to travel a little to get the right coroplast. If you go to www.coroplast.com/distributor/ you can find the distributor closest to you. FYI - I'd call to make sure that the distributor you found has the sheets you want in stock.

Haha, I just spent such a long time trying to figure out whether the stem of these exact casters was long enough to pass through the K&M stand I just ordered.... wish I'd have seen your comment earlier today! :-)

@@Aaronbeaumontmusic haha nice! The setup still works well today! At the time I only had a dremel and one of the carbide bits, but there are a few different ways you can drill through the steel K&M stand to make the holes wide enough to fit the caster stems. Works great to this day

It does work well sitting down. I loved this stand and miss it. I'll be making another one soon for the church that I'm currently at.

Hey there, Willis Family! The materials list made 8 columns, and yes, you can leave them at 8 ft.

Sorry, they made 4 columns, not 8!

I got it from a supplier in NC. I found the supplier by using using the "find a distributor" option on the coroplast.com web site (www.coroplast.com/distributor/) Hope this helps

James Coulter Thank you! I will try using this as well.

So True! Because of the shape of our church, we were only able to run a mono mix to the house, so a stereo mix didn't make sense at the time. We had talked about going stereo once we began recording for video.

James Coulter I’d recommend running stereo to the board anyway. You’re missing half the sound that Nord is capable of. You’d be amazed at how much fuller the sound would be even with mono house setup.

I wouldn't risk it. Coroplast is basically a plastic cardboard.

Thank you, Bryan! The strobe effect is a setting on the Chauvet Obey 70 lighting controller. Most DMX controllers have a strobe setting.

Thank you!

The few, the proud, the Coulters! Thanks Abe!

James Coulter i have made a few sets

,

I'd give it a try! Can't hurt!

The stand that I chose has a second tier available. I'd add that second tier with a shelf and strap everything down.

Thanks you Pastor James! I can’t believe it’s been 2 years since I’ve seen this video for the first time! Since then I’ve been able to once replicate your set up and now this year work on replicating it once more for another Church. Thanks again, God bless!

Absolutely!

I know I'm late responding to this. I went to the coroplast web site and found a vendor there.

the stand is adjustable, but it actually belongs to a church that I am no longer at, so I'm not sure of the exact height. Sorry!

Don't know for sure, but I would imagine that would work. Would love to see the final result if you've tried it.

can u just bolt the caster to the frame without the rubber feet?

I'm not sure of the thread size that we used. I had to drill a hole through the top of the stand "feet", but there was a hole already on the bottom from the rubber foot, so I used that as a guide. Hard to explain in writing, but easy to see once you remove the rubber feet.

The opacity level is too high, and it won't allow enough light to pass through the column.

My Pleasure!

It's been so long that I don't remember. I would recommend checking out the instructions or online tutorials for that model. Sorry!

You're very welcome, Kyle. If you have any questions or if you happen to build one, let me know.

There may be. I would imagine that some slightly frosted acrylic sheets would work just as well. However, they may prove difficult to shape/cut. The columns would also have a lot more weight to them and may be really top-heavy because of it These columns are very light. However, if you do go the acrylic route, please check back in and let me know how it worked!

ohh but thanks anyway :D

Unfortunately, in order for the light to be dispersed as it does in this video, you would have to use the natural color (not the white or clear). However, the clear color might look pretty cool as well. The columns probably wouldn't "glow" like they do in the natural color, but they might still prove to be a really cool look.

how to set up my obey 70 control

Both the white and the clear would create some issues on light dispersion. I would not recommend using them.

I got them from a company in Greensboro, NC. I found the company by doing a search on www.coroplast.com/distributor/. I had to call a few places before I found one that had the natural color.

I found them just need to get the controller

Good luck! Amazon, Full Compass, and B&H are my sources for all things lighting.

22kingterry where did you find them?

In Kentucky

Thank you! Post some pics or videos when you get them set up.

Thank you!

+Don Williams, that's the one drag to using the Coroplast - if you are not in a major city, you may have to drive a bit to get some. I purchased ours in Greensboro, NC, which was about 2.5 hours away from us. Even with the high gas prices at the time, the cost for the trip was really minimal, and the resulting columns were worth the drive! Just call ahead and make sure they have the correct type of Coloplast sheets (4mm natural). Hope you find yours soon!

They did not carry the coroplast in Knoxville. Would you provide me the name and phone number of the company in Greensboro, NC? I would really like to construct these if I can find the natural color coloplast...thanks for your help!

Don, I'm sorry it took so long to get back with you. The place that I purchased the Coroplast from is either no longer in business or has changed names because it's no longer listed on the Coroplast web site (coroplast.com).

Did you ever find a supplier or come up with an alternative product? I'm in Winston-Salem NC and I've found a dealer in CA but they're saying they'll charge upwards of over 100.00 to ship 4 sheets. NOPE!
