We built stage props for the Lottery Winners from acrylic on our Shapeoko CNC, and added lighting packs using WS2812B rings and Pimoroni Plasma 2040s.

Making Stage Props for the Lottery Winners

Before Christmas, a group of musicians walked in to the space to talk about designing stage props for their upcoming UK tour. Up front I’m going to be honest, I had briefly heard of the Lottery Winners but had no sense of how big the band had become. The Lottery Winners are a local band made good, with a Number 1 album - Anxiety Replacement Therapy, and had performed last year at Glastonbury.

@kianryan I do a search for #LotteryWinners after last night’s gig in Utrecht (looking for the post-gig buzz), and this is the top hit. It’s a small world!

How was the gig?

@kianryan Absolutely awesome!

EDIT: my eldest, who was with me (their third gig ever, after two stadium concerts[1]), insists I spell that differently:

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!

[1] And this was about 200 ppl - very different scale indeed
