WTB - Rigging
"Steve B" wrote in message .. . "ATP" wrote in message ... "Steve B" wrote in message ... "Bob La Londe" wrote in message ... "Steve B" wrote in message ... I need some rigging. Particularly, two long nylon straps with sewn eyes to cradle my boat. About 12' long. Can also use some shorter ones for logging, about 4-12 ft. And some socketed wire rope chokers that haven't been crimped 3/8"-1/2" 10'-12'. Shorter ones, too. A good farm supply will have straps. Then cut to length and take them to a tent and awning repair shop to sew loops. I'm allergic to retail. But I do have a walking foot heavy duty sewing machine, and may look into making my own, as it would make it easier to make multiple loop, and offset slings. Steve Then you'll be able to work like a rigger. I an Offshore Petroleum Industry, and OSHA certified. But I don't know if those have expiration dates. In fact, I don't even know where they are. But I WAS really certified in another life. I am retired now. Really. Steve That's cool. I remember when I was a kid my father went to a military parachute rigging school. They had some pretty big sewing machines for the equipment slings. |
