Had a Bash at Making a Rope Guide

[liamjordan]

Saw all the homemade rope guides that people had been posting on here, so i had a go at making one. I cant splice so it was knots all the way, did a eucalpytus take down yesturday, so gave it a go there, seemed to work really well, and it retrieved ok, only problem is that because there is no wire in the eye just the hose it did get abit compressed and was a fiddle to get the pulley through on retrival, but it worked none the less

[High Scale]

Good effort, shows though how much nicer a nice splice is rather than knots.

I agree with Highscale about the splicing, although when you factor in how much money, time and effort you saved by throwing this one together, you must be feeling pleased with yourself.

 

Nice work, FlamingAce.

That looks just like mine. But i wrapped gaffer tape around the hose pipe to stiffen it up.

Just make the eye by making a loop and stitching the legs together and then put stopper knots in the end of each.super simple
