Beginners guide to rigging.......

[Adam Bourne]

Hi Adam, I'm only on page 5 st the minute and wanted to say to you that your Thread (& explanations) are brilliant! I'm a beginner and can follow everything your saying just fine and finding info invaluable. For those who are making additional positive contributions - Good On Ya! For those (albeit experienced guys no doubt) who are just saying they disagree with this that or the other and merely 'Dissing' what your conveying - leave him to just get on with it as for less experienced people this is all good stuff and when we ourselves have years of experience as some of the Critiques then maybe we can decide for ourselves what snippet of info is 'unimportant' to us. But when you wanna learn MORE info is GOOD so MORE of this please - doing a great job! Now I've got that off my chest I'll get back to page 5 thanks!

Is this negative rigging

 

[Rich Rule]

Yes it is. Obviously I can't see from the pic but why are you rigging something so small?

[Ian Flatters]

Is this low impact rigging.

 

Note the rigging lines are in the water.

It's come on well, it gets the attention it needs when necessary, and it helps which is what it's main aim was so thank you.

 

I've been meaning to put this video in here, it was a little tip tie rigging on a hybrid poplar a month or so ago. The video shows the main setup but misses an important part out which was the pre tension of the limb itself. When I get a chance I'll do something a little similar but with a bit of explanation while I'm doing it. I think the main reason I never spoke so much in the video was due to the fact that I had the waterproof back on the camera and not the skeleton back.. Anyway here it is again.
