marking sticks....!!

[frederik]

Unworkshy,you must have a good teacher... now my turn..is the line wrapped round the butt?

 

[UNworkshy-apprentice.]

the best

put the 2 clips on (pigs ears)
and thread the rope between them. the 2 folded over bits need to be touching to stop the lightline jumping out of em its brilliant. i wanna make a video on using it. no one seems to use it anymore and its a bit of a shame.

 

[frederik]

Got it.. What height is the butt??

 

[UNworkshy-apprentice.]

2ft will do fine. as long as it clears all braces etc on the way down on a double on the outside standard. the old man taught me a little trick of using it with friction by putting a turn on the rope if you know what i mean? slows the decent and puts less strain on the hands

 

[frederik]

Thats what I meant first time mate. Now go off and train to be an instructor.lol.

 

[UNworkshy-apprentice.]

no. doesnt wrap round the butt more than once lol. it wraps round itself instructor? :O

 

[frederik]

Thanks teach, next lesson.haha.

 

[UNworkshy-apprentice.]

wait. i've confused myself now. lol it sits on top of the butt like a normal rope and whell. you tie off the tube and pull the far side through the gap between ties tube and standard lol.

 

[frederik]

I was thinking,you pulled it between pigsears then wrap round the p.ears again. will try it first op.

 

[UNworkshy-apprentice.]

nah it just sits between the pigs ears. just sits on top of the tube. you see when on a ginny wheel the rope twists sometimes? you have to more or less put on half twist into it?

 

[frederik]

Ok mate, hows your mini s o.

 

[UNworkshy-apprentice.]

tucked away safe man thank you once again

 

[frederik]

Dont lose it. I lost one and was gutted, Do you fllow chelsea?

 

[UNworkshy-apprentice.]

If yer any good you should be able to put the doubles on at the right height without using a stick or a level.

 

[UNworkshy-apprentice.]

does it count if i can for the handrails only HSW?

 

[Jason-Gibbs]

so who use's a stick...aka rodney....!!?? :bigsmile:

I dont use a Marking Stick... i just stay on the ground pointing and pretending i know what im doing. The f.uckers have the cheek to call me 'Base Plate' too! - i look nothing like a Base Plate... more like Burt Reynolds if you ask me.

Seriously though i try to use on as often as i can... cant beat its speed - assuming who ever run the Lift below you Leveled it properly.
