yeah, just a little thin wedge

ive found stiffer cords can be a bit tempermental with a v.t. whereas the softer cords will grip more readily. it will depend on the climbing line also though

cool clip mate..shame you lost the sound. not a criticism here...but i would generally do a shallower gob so the top would break off sooner and fall flatter.....any reason for the open face?

ok things didnt go exactly as planned....by about 12 hours ha! looks like we're all up and running. there will be some other changes happening soon also. sorry for the necessary inconvenience!

hey everyone....after last nights balls up, ive decided to switch to a better server...as a result the site will be down tonight from 1AM for an unspecified amount of time, but shouldnt be longer then 5 hours fingers crossed. As the site is getting busier now i think if we dont take this step we may find the website crashing more often. see you on the other side!

its something ive had on my mind....i have a lot of things i want to add to the forum...soon as the raffle is all wrapped up i'll be implementing various ideas

funnily enough i was processing some of the timber from that job the other day

that was a very wet day ben, i didnt enjoy that too much!!!

right linda....its always the wind that gets ya!
