The wire is for splicing. I got 170', any ideas what else I can make with it besides wire fids? It was only $9
The speedy stitcher awl is really neat it makes a running lockstitch in the same fashion as a sewing machine but costs way less.
The 10 pack of leather needles and the sail palm are for whipping and general sewing projects. I decided to sew up the connections in my rope walker setup and make a few chainsaw lanyards. I just made this one for one of the guys at work as a bit of practice with the speedy stitcher. I have some heat shrink coming in the mail so I will clean it up tomorrow.

No crazy story really, just what happens when a couple tree guys get bored in the middle of January. I had about 2 dozen eggs that froze accidently.... so we launched them in the big shot. I couldn't believe that they didn't break.

Nick, I like that saw rig you made. Sexy. I had one and nicked it up bad with my chain. I have to get another. It was nice to have. I got it from American Arborist.

I will send you one with the cameras when you get around to it. Just let me know whether you want a girth loop for the saw or a small screwlink, and the overall length from harness attachment to saw attachment.
...at $.30/foot for the cord it cost next to nothing!

Knot sure if you have seen this?
Works great for simple rope tools.
Lashing and wire clamp is pretty tough. And quite a bit easier than the awl though
you got love the lock stich aspect. You could lock stitch with this tool as well.

Put photos up or it never happened.
Actually I don't know what a 150 is.
Is that a Ford pickup or a Bandit chipper??
Sorry, English you know.

Good find Thomas, the entrepreneurial spirit rises again! I love that and wish I could find an excuse to buy one.

He really liked it, so I made another. This one is for me:
The small quicklink is the saw connection, the fancy Petzl biner is the 'close saddle' connection and the cheapo screw lock is the 'back saddle' connection.
I changed up the configuration a bit and added some heatshrink. I dont have a variable temp heat gun like Adam does so excuse the soot marks

I am pretty sure the stitching would break... maybe not.

making your own? why not just buy the ring and snap...

I dont even have to buy one, the company provides all that stuff. Since you asked though, 2 reasons are: One, I enjoy making things and spending my Sunday tinkering is about as good as it gets. Second, I am not aware of a commercially available saw lanyard that has snaps, or biners at both ends, just ring>ring or ring>snap.
Seeing as I enjoy making them, and what I want isnt available it is a luxury I can indulge in.
