inRant: Tried a new rigging method for a tricky lift in Tacoma and it backfired
Nylon's stretch on a longer pick is no joke, we had a steel beam do that same pendulum dance on a 60 foot lift a few years back. Switching to polyester roundslings cut the stretch way down, and now we rig a tag line on every single pick over 30 feet. Keeps things from getting sketchy real quick, @stella22. You use the basket hitches with tag lines now too or stick to chokers?

inHot take: I spent $600 on a fancy floral foam alternative and it was a total waste for my shop.
Doesn't this happen with a lot of "pro" gear? I bought a special tool for my hobby that cost way too much, and a simple kitchen item works better. It feels like companies sell us fancy solutions for problems we already solved cheaply.

inMy digital painting just hit 1,000 hours of work time
Honestly, how do you even stay focused on one piece for that long? I'd get so bored doing the same windows over and over. Did you have to redo big sections or was it just slow adding all the tiny stuff?
