The newest project

Our spool of 3mm amsteel is on board and we are starting to put it to good use.  First.....new lifelines.  We are removing the 10 year old stainless and replacing it with amsteel.  It is stronger and has no burs to catch you.  When we have all the stainless pieces together we will weigh it to see how much weight we are taking off.

I can put an eye splice in the line now in under five minutes!

  1. Question... isn't that pelican hook for a gate? The amsteel line above doesn't look like it would open too easily. :)

    Anyway, I need lifelines too. Maybe I have a job for you this summer. LOL
