About Bakerwood Labs
The company was founded on the principles and ideals of the maker culture, and holds true to the philosophy that society advances and strengthens through the sharing of knowledge and passion.
In 2005 I worked on a production of The Tempest  that required two projectors and two dowsers... The projectors we were able to find; Dowsing was a different story. The dowsing equipment that was available at the time would have eaten our entire scenic and lighting budget. Our solution involved cardboard, gaff tape, paint poles and a freshman with very strong shoulders.
Our next production that required dowsing was in a VERY small theatre with no room in the grid for the freshman.  After several attempts at a variety of solutions, I developed the prototype that would become the ProDowser.  That first unit was small, DMX controlled and very quiet; All of the demands that I had for a commercially available unit were met.
Over the years I have made improvements in functionality and usability but the ProDowser remains essentially the same:
Simple, Intuitive Technology to Serve You.
