Product Description

Review
"It should be noted that this is definitely a reference book. It's meant to be skimmed first and then attacked in chunks according to your needs. . . . What "Stage Rigging Handbook "will do is clearly explain the basics of how to maintain your rigging system and operate it safely. It can also be a ready reference and friend when rigging a show. This is a book to always keep handy in a cubby hole at the end of your pin rail. Be safe. Don't guess."--Steve Nelson, reviewing the first edition in "Dramatics"

Product Description
Written in an "at-a-glance" outline form, this book covers the design, operation and maintenance of stage rigging equipment. It describes each major type of rigging and then reviews the operating procedures and ways of inspecting existing systems.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for any rigger, 30 Oct 2004
By Mr. J. C. Luff - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a fantastic book! It covers almost all forms of rigging in great detail, from hemp to counterweight (single & double purchase) and motorised. It teaches all the knots you need to know and all other forms of securing lines.

It contains everything you should do as a competent rigger, and perhaps more importantly what NOT to do! This book teaches you how to correctly set up and maintain rigs of all types.

If you are a student learning the trade, or a professional rigger this book should be in your library! In fact, even if you don't use any rigging equipment as part of your job. You would be wise to read this and have an understanding of what is happening around you so that you can spot bad practise and help improve safety.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, you need this if you are in the staging field, 9 Jan 1999
By A Customer
" With the information that it contains, Stage Rigging Handbook should become a standard text for advanced technical students and all individuals concerned with the safe and proper maintenance and operation of stage rigging systems." Derek Hunt..

This quote was located at the back of this book, but I feel it describes it very well.
