I love geeks :-)
So today I was looking around on the Internet for a collapsible coat hanger, like the one Toht uses in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (We all know the scene from the movie). I couldn't find anything commercially available so I wondered it it was possible to make one.
One Google search later and lo and behold, I find a tutorial on how to make the infamous collapsible coat hanger.
This is what I love about geeks. They are passionate about the things they love and they share the information freely. The tutorial is posted on The RPF, a costuming / prop making posting board, and its just full of threads with people sharing their finds and their techniques. It's the same on any dedicated fandom site, heck, on any site dedicated to something of specific interest. I just love that. You may never meet the people you helped out, but everyone's grateful just the same.
As for the coat hanger, I may go with an easier design, but I wouldn't even be considering it if not for the tutorial. :-)
