'zactly. I like to play it safe and cut extra. For a 40" sling I'd cut a ten foot piece of line at least.

I'd like to add one step that I now do to all of my slings made in this manner. After you cut the loops as in pages 8 and 22 unravel each individual strand. In this case you'd unravel each strand into the three strands it was created from. It may seem like a lot of unraveling but it will make it much easier for you to cover the cut loops with the West Country Whipping. The next time I make such a sling I'll insert a picture of what I'm talking about.

Glad you like it. I still want to make my tutorial on the Skeletonized Sling. I'll eventually do one on my Side by Side Double Barrel and Giant Snowball Slings too.

Thanks to torc's copy I have the means to repair them.
