dafi Posted February 20, 2013 Share #1 Posted February 20, 2013 As five hands sometimes are not enough for rigging, I build myself a small rigging bench. An inclined plane with a pin in the middle ... ... and two hairgrips on a holder. The holder can be fixed also pointing the other direction - or being left off - ... ... and even tiny bits can be worked on with ease :-) For serving small parts I included a hook on a thread. Turning the part in between the fingers, it is still nicely held under tension and does not wobble around :-) These are the nice bits one can do with it ... ... and even to be repeated precisely :-) Gruß, DAniel ken thomson, Long9Ron, ianmajor and 7 others 10 Quote To victory and beyond! http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/76-hms-victory-by-dafi-to-victory-and-beyond/ See also our german forum for Sailing Ship Modeling and History: http://www.segelschiffsmodellbau.com/ Finest etch parts for HMS Victory 1:100 (Heller Kit) and other useful bits. http://dafinismus.de/index_en.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcicero Posted February 20, 2013 Share #2 Posted February 20, 2013 Now that's something I could really use. I've struggled with that kind fo fine detail work. I think your rigging bench is exactly what I've been looking for. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dida Posted February 27, 2013 Share #6 Posted February 27, 2013 That is why I love this forum.

the learner Posted July 17, 2013 Share #8 Posted July 17, 2013 Do the hair pins provide enough pressure to hold the work? Quote Cheers, GuyThe LearnerCurrent Member NRG,SMA Current Build: HMS Triton 1:48 on line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jre8655 Posted July 17, 2013 Share #9 Posted July 17, 2013 This idea comes at just the right moment for me. I'm getting ready to start construction of the masts and booms on my Bluenose and will be rigging very soon. Thanks!

dafi Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share #11 Posted July 17, 2013 Hello everybody, thank you for your feedback :-) @Guy: Yes it worked rather well with the hair pins. If not just look for something stronger that does not squeeze the rope too much.
