I think I’m probably at around one per month this year.

I just started getting back in to sling making when I joined the forum a couple months ago.  Since then I completed a braided sling that was only about 1/4 of the way done and had been sitting around for several years.  I also made two others, although one still needs a pouch stitched on to it.

I've lost track but I would guess only around 5 or so. I have so many I haven't "needed" any so I've been collecting other people's our more unusual styles. I still have one more to finish for the SITH but it's looking like it's going to count for next year...

10 including the one I sent to Samuel for Sith.

Nineteen or twenty  :-[

   When my late wife was sick I made slings to keep my sanity.  I probably made hundreds.  There are still many slings around here.  I'll have to get back into making them this year. 

I have made a few hundred, but I make the same few styles. I need to upgrade my skill, and start practicing my weaving and braiding to span it out.

quite a few. Goit a friend who loses hers on a regular basis - must have had a half a dozen just by herself :-)

The 3d printed waterproof pouches seem to go best round here, as most people use them for throwing tennis balls for dogs to retrieve from a big lake :-)

One or two.
(My slings is ugly but durable  :)

I haven’t made any slings in about Five years.... Yeah, I know I am slacking.

I’ve been making maybe one per month, but then I just made about 10 slings in the last two weeks. I’ve gone into production for Christmas :)

That's great!  I like the inclusion of the tennis ball.

I think I've made about 9 this year.

Awesome! I think I only made around 4 or 5. Most of them were super simple paracord ones for the most part.

A basic 'how to' sheet would also be good in the box.
Been thiking about seriously marketing slings. And a sheet that clearly shows how to hold and use  abasic underarm throw is something I reckon is an essential inclusion.

And a sock and a couple elastic bands, to make a sock ball :-)

actually made  a lot more pouches than slings this year.

I need to get the cord side of things as standardised as the pouch manufacturing. Kind of pot luck at the moment.

Also need a more efficient way to make loops at the end of paracord. tying knots wastes a lot of cord. Must be some kind of crimping pliers and clips that would make a solid permament join for a loop. To be fair, once the cords are on the pouch, the area of join would have almost zero stress.
I do have some hair crimpers I bought to make a filament joiner from.
wonder if 180c would be enough to bond a metal clip to the paracord.
worth an experiment I reckon :-)

Hmm maybe the clips used for sealing the ends of large sausages would do the trick.

Damn those things are expensive !
Wonder if a cable tie and the hot crimp would work.
Right, now to try and find the hair crimpers !

Yeah the instructions are something I’ve been thinking about. I’m no graphic artist, but I think I can come up with something.

I’m still working on solutions for attaching the cord quickly too. I’ve been experimenting with heat shrink, but I’m not totally happy with the process yet. A friend of mine told me that military parachute eyelets are sewn together. I’ve never looked at one up close, so I need to look into how they do that.

To cut and seal the cords in one step, I built a hot knife from some junk I found in a trash pile pile at work. The cutter is a 28 gauge nichrome wire. I used alligator clips to connect a power supply to heat the wire. That little tool has saved me a lot of time already.

Well... I just set a new personal record:
10 slings in one evening!
It took about 20 mins per sling, but I think I can cut that time down even more with practice.
