Jim Carter, OTOH has had everything I've ever needed -- and then some. If you're hell-bent on fabricating your own -- and let's face it, who amongst us hasn't thought about it -- I wouldn't use bailing wire to do it. I'd go down to a farm/industrial supply outfit and get some steel cable. Baling wire may "bail" on you when you need it the most... And that wouldn't be fun. At all. | | |
