Praise me not too much Cheesy

Thank you for your compliments. I still have some problems, but as you said; i think i'm on good way and i have an idea of what doing next time better

I think i will try out some other material.
I think i found my favorite way of making slings (woven). It was big fun for me making it Wink

In my holiday coming next week i will try out this sling and the balearic i got from Jaegoor.
(the difference in slinging this one compared to the balearic is heavy Wink

)

Best regards
Daniel

You find that you can use the techniques here on many different styles of sling. The modified pj sling made here is a very versatile work horse.

Sheep Shank Slings Reply #52 - Oct 31^st, 2012 at 11:54am I'm fortunate to have had Rat Man make me one one these, and I love it. This here is my go to sling and he made it quite colorful to boot. This puppy launches everything I've stuck in it, except a toy Pikachu I found at the park lol. Can't brag enough about it.

I was starting to wonder about you guys.

Sheep Shank Slings Reply #56 - Apr 10^th, 2013 at 6:50pm This sling is based on the sheepshank After 5 loops (6" long") are made you begin a sheepshank but complete an overhand knot by placing the end of the cord through all five loops and pull tight. Repeat at other end. No extra weavings are necessary. Tony

It is certainly easy to tie. I first made a sling like this almost 40 years ago from the directions in a 1974 book "Whittlin', Whistles and Thingamagigs" ISBN 0-8117-1882-2. I posted this sling only because of the name. Your tutorial is excellent. Tony
