The guy with the sheave should take it up as high as possible, hold it at the sheave height, and let the guy lap pulling set his first....without question. Especially with Deuces. That 10-10 with deck is still @ 90 or less. Imagine a flatter bridle where the lap puller has to not only pull the weight up but has to pull against the already set side. The process in the video results in it being way easier for one and twice as tough for the other.

2t bridle as a first point, nice

[@TheOnlyKosis]

Nice work brotha.

[@NoReason059]

always get your side on first for bridles lol, be nice to not have to pull your own points haha

[@jimmyjazz5943]

[@JackZurawel]

I would never wait on my partner to build my basket.

[@terrywade8361]

I toured for over 35 years with some of the best in the world up in the steel you have to have upper body strength bun boys and girls no offense but very few of you can pull those two ton points it's dangerous

[@samuelcarr868]

Hey Mike, great to see some new rigging videos! I'm currently rigging in the UK and I was wondering if you ever use Cherry Pickers for rigging points?

[@Mikes1800]

I used a 55' boom lift at a load out last year. Temporary outdoor roof system for Sublime with Rome. Use them occasionally indoors when going to high steel. Here's a vid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6i2n6SEi6uCa5I

[@monmixer]

Riggers, with them there is no show. simple as that. Hard work and clean living. you can't go up there smoking weed or anything else for that matter.

[@charliekelly3173]

Some of them do. And after work there's so much more that goes on lol

My grandfather was an ironworker who hung iron for over 15 years for American Bridge, then built buildings for 10, then spent 10 years as a superintendent for Ebasco building power plants. Those old boys started damn near every morning just taking a nip or two out of a pint bottle of whiskey just to take the shakes off. Then they’d have a few more drinks on the way home. It was a dangerous job back before there was an OSHA and still wasn’t exactly good for you after. My stepfather was an ironworker too but worked as a downrigger after he got hurt and spent six months recovering. They were all tough bastards. Riggers have my upmost respect.
