    Oi!! Where’s the secondary on those there lamps!!! Wires not safety chains. Chains round bars.. I’ll pick you up on this.. it has to be a hanging iron, 2 bolts underneath. One on top, 3 dogs plus 2 extra. Bars roll!! Dynamic load. Absolutely not. Tight and vertical. Or whatever is hung on it will wobble and increase the load. Think moving lights.

    Lift turn move in Wigan UK are quite good.. k- link, basket, bridles, spa sets, round sling. Rigging supplies comes from a well known ship right!😉

    At least someone knows what they are doing! Vid is brilliant! I’d like to introduce rep theatre into the equation. 3 shows a week. Hieght of fly tower. It has to be at least 3 times as high as the prosc. So you can store the other 2 shows out of sight. Repeating theatre.🤔😎👍👍👍

    As a fly man, ping the rope above and below the brake first.. before doing anything. If one or other side of said line is under tension, summat’s either out of balance or bigger problems. The call is’ below on stage, bar la la la coming in’ not HEADS!! heads is the emergency call.

    Don’t get grumpy and throw a weight, 12.5 KG at someone, plastic vari*lite cases.. boing. Hit the metal panel in the middle and angle of incidence, angle of reflection, etc, miss the intended target, and redecorate the opposite wall.

    Do the in dead and out dead bit.. stripey tape when it’s almost there. White tape two sides of the black tape.. which is the dead. Grid it.. Tripes on lX bars.. rope locks..

    Uk speaking.. RADA boi. It’s ‘bars’ as in lighting bars. Not pipes or battens. But almost there. Single purchase or double purchase? Loading dock doors? Twice the wheight, half the hieght..

    Fall protection lanyard using a handrail as an anchor? How does that meet the 5000lb rating for fall protection, since handrails only need to meet the criteria of being able to take a 200lb side load? EDIT: to be fair, and to alleviate unintentional snarkiness- this is a very well done video and this is the only nitpicking I could come up with.

    The D ring on the back of your harness is called the dorsel.

  • @edelmirohernandez8667

    Lock rail operators are often time called "Flymen" because the lock rail is also called the fly rail.

    I can't be certain but your fall arrest lanyard does not seem to be the type that allows the user to "choke off" to an anchor. Choke style lanyards are available and typically have a flat face where the webbing can lay flat in the clip. They look more like a carabiner. You can see how your hook style has a tight radius not allowing the webbing to lay flat therefore derating the webbing's capacity. A good video though, not at all trying to detract.

    Great video but I have one question, what does a spiral spike mark indicate? Like the one seen at 6:26 on the purchase line

    • @BuilderDad
      @BuilderDad Před 6 lety

      We put those on linesets where the marked out trim is really close to putting the arbor into the crash bar. I work with high schoolers so it helps to give them some warning to slow a set down (the main rag for instance) before it crashes into the bar.

    • @ryanhasler9980
      @ryanhasler9980 Před 5 lety

      A spiral wrap of spike tape is a warning indicator. As you're traveling the batten you'll see the spiral coming and the final spike mark is at the end of the wrap.
