Dave made himself a Boom Box for use on drama or commercials as a place to
store poles, batteries and other spares when the sound trolley was some
distance from the set.
You can have your own Boom Box!
As each Boom Box is made to order yours can built to your specification and
feature set. Perhaps some large hooks inside to hang cables or headphones on.
What would you find useful? A water bottle holder?
Interested?
Please contact Dave to discuss your
specification and features.

The grass is hiding the fact that the shelf is actually 1 1/2"
(40 mm) above the ground. Contact with the ground is just the
bottom edges of the back and sides.
The small white box is cordless door bell. Boom Op carries the bell
push, the bell box is placed on the mixers trolly. Operating the bell push
sounds a chime and flashes a strobe light a few times thus attracting
the mixers attention.
