This video is very much appreciated. You are doing excellent work. Thanks for sharing. (Were you able to make the cross bracing video, as I searched but couldn't find it?)
Still haven’t had time to make it. I probably can do a narration with scale drawings more quickly than I can manage to put together a video of the actual process.
Appreciate your super helpful videos! Did you ever make a video on correct cross bracing techniques? Look forward to more of your content and sage advice!
I haven’t had time to make that video yet. Cross bracing, stage jack construction, and hard flat construction are at the top of my list. But I don’t yet have a timeline. Sorry!
It really depends on the leg method, whether it is 2x4 legs or hog’s trough or other methods. Typically up to 18” or even 24” should be fine for normal use without cross bracing. I think of you are getting into the 24”-36” range or higher, cross bracing is essential. Again, depends on your platform /design/construction and your leg type.
Awesome! Thank you so much! I’m using 2x4 platform construction with 2x4 legs. I wanted a bit more sturdiness to them. They aren’t going to move a whole lot so I wasn’t super concerned about the added weight. They’re being used for audience seating for a small performance.

This is awesome, thanks! Looking forward to the next cross-bracing video!

Your videos are so helpful!!
I had a quick question! At what height do you start cross bracing?

Just making them for risers essentially.
Awesome
