Succinct and jargon free, Stage Rigging Handbook remains the only book in any language that covers the design, operation, and maintenance of stage-rigging equipment. It is written in an at-a-glance outline form, yet contains in-depth information available nowhere else. This fully indexed third edition includes three new parts: the first, an explanation of inspection procedures for rigging systems; the second, a discussion of training in the operation of rigging systems; and the third, essential information about the operation of fire curtains. The remaining six parts, as well as the glossary and bibliography, have been updated. This edition also contains a new preface, many new illustrations, and expanded information on Nicopress terminations. Glerum explains that four main principles make up the core of this book: know the rigging system; keep it in safe working order; know how to use it; and keep your concentration. Glerum applies these principles to all of the major types of stage rigging systems, including block and tackle, hemp, counterweight, and motorized. He describes each type of rigging, then thoroughly reviews the operating procedures and methods of inspecting existing systems. Review: Informational and - Easy to understand and use Review: The Industry Standard - This book is a strong and straight froward approach to teaching the ideas of theatrical rigging. The section on automated rigging does not offer much insight beyond the concept of replacing the human operator with an automated system which goes in and out on a rail system. If you are a stagehand or part of any technical production team you should have this book in your library.

The Industry Standard
This book is a strong and straight froward approach to teaching the ideas of theatrical rigging. The section on automated rigging does not offer much insight beyond the concept of replacing the human operator with an automated system which goes in and out on a rail system. If you are a stagehand or part of any technical production team you should have this book in your library.

A must have addition to your library...
To keep it short... This book is a MUST HAVE in your theatrical library. If you are a technical director, stagecraft instructor, stagehand, rigger, scenic designer, theatrical carpenter, or just have any inclination of doing anything dealing with theatrical rigging or scenery, this book is a must read. The author did a great job making this an easy read. I come back to this book time and time again, it has even, on more than one occasion, make me want to write my own book, just because of the way I feel after reading a few chapters, confirming my existing knowledge! I've shared this book with ton's of co-workers, students, and stagehands alike.

Fabulous resource
As a non-rigger, but experienced stage person and craftsman/mechanic, this is hugely helpful to understand more about rigging. Great to be reminded of the seriousness of the craft, and the safety issues. Well written--I do wish there were a few more illustrations describing methodologies, but is still an enormously helpful resource.

must have
This book is an excellent reference for stage and road rigging. I took a 2-day class with Jay a couple years ago at LDI conference and really enjoyed the experience. Jay takes this stuff seriously and is surely one of the grandfathers of the entertainment rigging business.

Buen libro base.
Cubre por encima todos los aspectos técnicos de la maquinaria escénica. Pese a estar desfasado en algunas cosas es un buen manual de base para descubrir las cosas que haces mal al colgar cosas del telar. No hay nada comparable escrito en español
