You've mentioned that a couple times before, and it got me to put my other camlock strap(One of the two I made my footloop from) in my rigging bag this morning(I was cleaning off my desk). That's a good use for it. I don't typically like to use straps for anything. Pretty much do everything with...

Deadeye is complete aside from the lockstitching. I went with an 18" eye. I got advice that an eye large enough to pass over the porty would be best for convenience. I don't have my porty here, but I think 18" will cover it. I need to see if I can dig up something suitable for a lockstitich. If...

I have a piece of treemaster I snapped, and that was my intention for it. It's kind of a general purpose sling. I put a small eye in one end, mainly for the practice, but I've also used it. Sometimes I make it a loop, and though it's never been on a porty, I was gonna girth/timber hitch it up.

Cool. That's two votes for the choice I kind of wanted anyway. The ones wesspur sells have an 18" eye. Before I looked it up, I was thinking 12" eye. Y'all think 18" is the way to go?

Piggybacking on this thread cause it's somewhat related... I got 50' of tenex and used ~20' on the thimble. What's next? The two items I'm really considering are a deadeye, or an ultra. I'm leaning towards the deadeye, and thinking of a porty mount. The remaining length would allow attaching...

Got it! I hope... Guess we'll see if I got it tight enough... The video I was following said several times that the tail isn't important for strength, which I get, but it then says to lockstitch the tail. Is that necessary? Everything looks tight and together. I'm not sure what would happen...

Friction aloft for lowering by myself. What I'm hoping for is a catch and lower that doesn't require much from me. I want something that's somewhere between a freefall and a complete lock.

One pick tighter. See where it hits the bottom of the groove and go ≤ 1 pick below that.

Ok, so what do y'all think; maybe lead it by 0.5-1 picks at the thimble? IOW, pull the rope tight around the thimble, then select a bury just a bit below the groove to allow it to stretch in place.

I just ordered some tenex to splice the triangular thimble I got. How tight should the splice be started? Should I pull it tight, and skim the top of the thimble groove for the first bury, or should I lead it a little bit, and kind of force it into place if you know what I mean?
