Had some time to spare today while still waiting for the prod.
So decided to try and make a simple cocking rope.
Two handles (Not started yet) and two hooks one of which is just about complete.
It took me about 20 mins to cut all the pieces to a rough shape,
out of 12mm aluminium flat bar and another hour with a file to
shape the first hook.
I'm not attempting to make a pulley version as I think a piece of
tent guy rope or para cord, fully waxed should run smoothly
through the aluminium hook. If not, I will have at least learned
a few more aluminium shaping techneques. And have two new hooks
for the wife to hang her pictures on.....
