Made my son a Christmas gift today.
« on: December 06, 2010, 11:26:22 AM »
I decided to make my 5yo a rope to climb on in the garage today.  I used normal Lowes rope rather than static line so it has a little stretch, but I think it will work out.

I found instruction on making a Fast rope on youtube.com using 7/16 rope, doubling it and using a 4 strand round braid.   It worked great and looks good too.Click Here

I just thought I would share.

We do not get to pick when the balloon goes up, only how well prepared we are to deal with it.

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

can someone type in a body cast?
Have your musket clean as a whistle, hatchet scoured, 60 rounds powder and ball and be ready to march at a minute's warning.

NC Buckeye -

Welcome!

You have successfully passed rule one - post porn when you do something.

However, you failed rule two - when talking about sites or videos that help do something they should also be linked ... We are mentally handicapped and lazy around here  ;)

Nice rope by the way ... I think you may have a place in the T & tt administration in a couple years.
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

You honestly think those two could braid a rope that nicely? Of course, they wouldn't bother trying. ;D

That is why buckeye deserves a corner office ... with a large deck and a trapdoor.
