The Crate Sphere

Alex •

For the Adelaide Fringe Festival, a team of artists known as the Crateman Crew created this Katamari-esque sphere of milk crates:

The crate sphere was designed to be rolled down the street as the final act in the parade. Comprising of 688 milk crates and being over 4.5 meters high, it had an estimated weight of over 700 kilograms. It was hoped that upon seeing us struggle with the beast, members of the audience would join in, and help us roll the sphere to a glorious end!

Unfortunately the reality was somewhat different.

If I'm goin' to a parade it's to sit there in the sun and have 3 year old saltwater taffy and tootsie roll missiles thrown at me by the guy who wants to be elected to the city council. I sure ain't interested in helping push no milk crates around.

There is NOTHING I love more in the world than sucking what life and joy out there is out of comment boards. And just so you know, I'm on my 904th PhD and my dad is much stronger than your dad.

This is a Canadian Maple tree tapper! You stick it into the side of a maple tree, screw it in and out, and once you pull it out, the maple sap runs out the hole..

Mmmm, yummy...

BUSTED! Large :D

The scale of this item is what I would need to be accurate, but it could be an object to manually cut the hole in a barrel for the cork to fit through.

It is a stage screw used to affix scenery to the stage. I used them in high school 20 years ago, but haven't seen them since. It isn't destructive as one poster suggests -- stage floors are self-healing.

It is a screw that was screwed into a stage floor and then support poles which had hooks on the ends would be attached to the back of stage flats and the other end would hook into the round part of the screw. Thus making the scenery stable.

Its a stage screw. It is screwed into the deck. Then a stage brace hooks into the screw, and attached to a flat of the set. They arent used much any more, but the theatre I work at still has a bunch of old stage technology like this sitting around

It's a stage-screw used for old school set construction along with stage-braces. I have 3 of them in my shop and I really only use them to show tech-students how things used to be done.

Score points for the theatre-nerds.

Properly called a "nipple extractor" and used to extract screws, bolts, valve seats and all other manner of threaded fasteners, hardware and plumbing parts.
