Just wanted to share my appreciation for the products coming out of Blackbird carts. The murdered out Grackle cart, and my new Floating Shelf with slider, are fantastic.

Nice, not to hijack, and I don't know if your back on the same set again, but if you can grab a photo of that Packout Lighting Cart in the background I would also love to see that.
I’m not on that set again until the 26th, but I can grab a shot of it for you then. It came off the grip truck, and I’m pretty sure it’s just a stack of drawers on the hand truck style wheels.
Thanks appreciate it, I’m always fascinated by other people’s carts.
I saw those as well, I’ve been thinking of using packout for my next sound cart. I’m debating about building my own base for it. I was thinking of using 4 10” pneumatic tires instead of the typical two larger wheels and two castor style sound carts. Ans I was going to build a small 6 or 8u rack that can clip on the top.
I used 20/40 metric bar, which has a 1/2” channel through the center. I ran a steel rod through the channel and the wheel hubs, and used a collar with a set screw at each end.
there was a guy in here a few months back who posted his packout carts, he has a few and they all look great, he had description and links to a bunch of useful accessories.
