Spike Chess Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Before anyone thinks it, I'm not trying to sell anything. I have hand trouble (carpel tunnel) and doing these helps to keep my fingers from playing me up. Truth is it makes them ache instead of hurt.

pigeon controller Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Well done Spike, I think it's great that we can still make things . Since I retired ten years ago I've made snares, tealers , long nets, purse nets, pigeon cradles and flyers. My grandad was a miner and was injured and used to knit string shopping bags for his beer money, I wish I knew how he did it as they were very strong and stretchy.

Guest Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Awesome chap. I recently came across this tutorial on how to make a paracord bullwhip which would definitely help your fingers! Hopefully I'll get the time to make myself one one day. Obviously there is no practical use for a bull whip but it would be pretty cool to break the sound barrier by hand! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXuBs_wYsnI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
