Michael Douglas has appeared in (55) feature films since 1966. The Sentinel (2006) ranks just outside his top 20 when it comes to lifetime gross, which is just under the second Wall Street installment.
Sorry, mon frere, but you worked on a film that made money and, more to the point, it didn't make $46.2 million on my ticket only.

Most recent trailer for Suicide Squad.
No matter how this film turns out, I had a BLAST and a half making it. In this trailer I was involved in building 90% of the sets shown. Theres a couple of brief flashes of some fighting in an office. I was with camera as we shot those scenes. After every take it was my job to rebuild the office after all the guinfire stopped and grenades were exploded. You might see a pane of glass or two shatter in this clip. Well they all explode pretty much and your hero here had to replace it all in between takes. It's proper tempered glass, about 10' 1", 4' 5". Real glad my cups didn't give.

Raised panel red oak arch top door for location shoot. I received very basic drawings for this and rudimentary materials Wednesday night. materials were 3/4" pre dressed red oak that had to be turned into this 8' tall 2 1/4" thick door to be installed on an existing jamb without altering said jamb. Luckily our set dec buyers bought a perfect match mortise fit lock!
This is a Lamination/ build up. I know not the way you would properly do this, but hey it's the movie business. The "core" is 3/4 ply.
Our shop has no joiner so I straightned an edge with the mt55 then ripped parallel on the table saw. Edge jointed for the raised panels with the zeta and tenso. Worked amazing! Raised panel treatment was done with the 2200. Cut template for the arch top with the bandsaw, roughed out withe the p1cc then flush trimmed to the template. Frame components were again joined with tenso.
Buildings was one day, hinges and mortise lock done on site and installed the next day. Perfect fit with no altering beyond trimming an eighth off the bottom with the kss40 and cutting a rebate on the bottom edge on sight.
There's some blemishes due to the time I had for the project but I forgive myself.
Photo to follow.

Ha glue 23g alternating toenail and some weight. As it's hung in the photo its raw wood. They stained it hanging. That's show business!

Brand new siding job being made to look old and rotten (in process). This is a wall section for a 3 story facade we're building. The window had been removed before I got a chance to snap a pic. Just an example of trying to unlean stuff to make it look crappy for film. overall look of the house exterior will be a sort of Hitchcockesque creepy old house. This is taken in the shop. To age/ weather timbers for this house, we roasted them with a blowtorch, then hit them with a pressure washer to blast off the char and expose grain texture. You cant really see a lot of that here, but you'll have to take my word for how good it looked  |

Here's another odd thing. The cnc kid we got running our machine is ok at quickly manipulating autocad, not so great at understanding how things go together though, so the skeleton he made for me needed a lot of extra work in order to work. Regardless, this was turned into a sewer reduction. The whole thing was given a concrete parge in order for it to look the part. "They all float down here!"  Anyone cut sheathing for a truncated cone before? |

Yes, I can tell you about conic sections...
The Mrs had a seeing project and tried to tell her, just before she said make me a pattern.
Envision the frustum (cone with the point removed) as a full cone.
There is the big diameter and the small diameter.
There is the distance between them.
You can use either geometry or trig to work out the radii , and this is a good use for the Festool branded tape measure when marking the Emily face that will become a frustum.
What are the dimensions?
