Gobo Maker in NYC?

Hey all, I'm looking to have a minimum 4" thick gobo made from an NYC-based builder. Dimensions are a bit large, so I'm hoping to avoid shipping costs.

Any leads would be much, much appreciated!

Does anyone know of an NYC-area based custom acoustic panel and gobo builder?

All you need is a decent carpenter and the source for the main items, 703 and Gilford or equiv fabric..And how you want them to look..Like fine furniture or...
Or buy some off the shelf and add outriggers and wheels, Plexiglas top ect..

Glenn, I'm looking to get one that's about 43" wide and 98" high, preferably on casters somehow.

Nosebleed, I'll also ask around and see what's out there as well.

Thanks!

98" is too big to ship..don't mean TOO big for a truck..
Also, make sure the outriggers are wide enough...
You could build it in two sections, stackable..

Our GoboTraps are 4' wide and 6' tall; we ship out of CT so shipping to NYC isn't too expensive. You can also pick them up in CT if you prefer. Not sure if that is helpful or not, but there ya go.
