New sling pics.
Jul 13^th, 2012 at 12:56pm

With the variety of leathers and hides i can get hold of now i'm doing a lot of experimentation on pouch materials. I have also greatly increased my skill at hand stitching. Here are some of my newest slings. I'll have to do multiple posts.
This one has Warthog on the outside and heavy duty upholstery on the inside. The warthog gives great strength and flex.

Came down to 32.5kg's (72lbs). About 2/3 of the lead i have. I am going to ask a friend who does ceramic pottery if he will help me make a mold for biconical and ball ammo. Figure, all told, from all my lead, i should be able to make around 1000 rounds.

I'm busy as heck with a bunch of summer courses. I might give up the Rockman sling tutorial- mostly because it takes up a lot of time when you use yarn- the only material I have on hand. My parents hate slinging so I won't be able to convince them to get any jute twine to make it with. For now I'll say I might be able to do it.

On the flip side, I'm nearly done with explanations of different sling materials and how to braid. I'm still working on the wording and making sure everything is easy to understand, while being short and concise as possible.

Whatever you do will be helpfull and the more the better. Concise is good espicailly when it comes to sling tutorials.

Greenman, nice slings and very nice stitching.

Would you consider this sling design to be a split pouch or solid pouch with a slit? I ask because I am writing a short description of sling designs (and their variation) for the book and don't quite know how to classify slings like the ones you made.

My draft for this section is at: http://slinging.org/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1341777476

I was considering the very same thing this afternoon. I honestly couldn't say. The new pouches i am making have a slit that runs at least half the length of the pouch. (My new design is a pouch 15cm long, with a slit 8cm long. Designed for my 85g concrete balls.)

Being obsessive compulsive about my sling designs, i have not decided. I think you would be a better judge, having far more experience of the range of pouches available.

By all means, go with what you think is most accurate. I can't decide Wink
