Making Stage Props

This is a fairly useful book on how to make stage props out of many different types of materials (wood, plaster, plastic, etc). I especially found the information on working with expanded polystyrene helpful. Written in 2003, this book is a little outdated and does not include tips for working with any of the newly-available materials. Overall, I recommend this book. Please mark if you find my review helpful. Thank you so much!

very handy book for anybody trying to make a go of it in prop making for the theater.

The book has some very good ideas and methods on the various aspect for Behind the Scene. I will be putting some of them to good use. One of the areas that I want to learn to do is mold making. This will help for those items that are too expensive to rent or buy.

Although a good book, I was hoping it would include ideas for making things that did not require expensive molds and shop tools.

My Daughter-in-Law found the book very helpful and interesting, due to her voluntary work in theatre at college.

This book is excellent for any Model Maker/student needing help with prop making, the guide not only has tips, but is written by somebody,(Andy Wilson)who has worked in the industry and knows it really well. Deffinately reccomend!

I needed to make some props and this excellent and informative book showed me how to make them. A valuable bit of kit for anyone connected with stage or film

Good value

This book was very advanced and not at all what I was expecting. Hence the fact that I returned it.
