Strop Construction

[john dawson]

Whats the process of constructing a strop?

 

i mean pipe length and diameter, what types of coverings?, handles or not?

 

ive already got a roll of 20mm pipe and some cord, just need the rest (like some info!!)

John, what do you mean by 'pipe length'?

[john dawson]

erm..........how long is a piece of pipe????

 

by the way, im on about a pole-climbing strop, not a reguler flipline/strop

john,

 

10mm prussik 5m length

15mm poly plumming pipe 2m length

thread wire through end of prussik and feed through pipe tie knots at either end.

tie fishermans knot in one end clip into harness an lift arms as high as possible then tie another fishermans knot.

cut 1 bycicle inner tube in half secure about 1ft from first end an wrap away.

secure ends with duck/insulating tape also secure in the middle.

wrap insulating tape all the way to the ends.

get a square spong cloth thingy tape in place.

vet wrap (pinky stuff) over the lot and secure with insulating tape.

20 mins top to build.

if in doubt see pic.

 

hope this helps
