Wagtail on upstairs
« on: May 18, 2013, 08:55:33 pm »
Hello,do any wc's here use a wagtail on the upstairs only?
Now obviously i am not aiming this at the wfp users (so please don't have a row over trad and wfp).
If anyone does how long have you been using this method?

Watch all the Wagga videos on youtube.
He gives loads of information and tips.
Personally I find the Wagtail great for Trad work but high level pole work takes plenty of practice, and I've still got a long way to go with it.

Are you going to wagtail all the upstairs Dan? I'd expect practice to be at least 6 months if that's the plan mate. Rather you than me.
No still don't understand, I must be thick

Yes Matt same dan as before,i promise i will behave this time though.. :)
I gave my round up a while back to have a go at something else due to a disabilty that i now have,but to be honest the other business hasn't taken off and i am getting to be a big fat git and miss the windows.
I have sat back and watched many start-ups with wfp,some are still around and some are gone for whatever reason,and although there is a lot more competition and choice from when i was on the tools i still believe there will always be openings (pardon the pun).
But i want a challenge,to come from a different angle and i honestly believe (and i have done a bit of research) that a trad round in my particular area (full of golden oldies) would take off.Time will tell of course and you may well take the pee out of my efforts in the future if i go back to wfp.
Cheers

Sorry,i tried looking but i couldn't find anywhere in the above statements that said i was skint.
What i did say is that due to a disability i gave my round up,in other words i cant wfp all day every day due to a degenerative bone disease,and that after careful consideration i would give the windows another go by using methods that my general condition will allow,but if need be i would have to go wfp tops only on a small round until it is virtually impossible for me to make a living at the job.Thanks for your concern though.. ;D

 8) I picked up a customer about a year ago with the surname Worgan and it made me wonder what had happened to you.

Sorry to hear about your disability. All the best with the new round mate. I'm about 75% wfp now but still like doing my trad clients as well. I agree, a trad round can come together quite quickly - it's certainly an easier sell to most 'golden oldies'.

Hope it works out well for you Dan.
