I just made one of these ( while watching Wimbledon last night)!! Grin

Well, not exactly. I couldn't find any medical tape on my part of the world so I used a cheap version of duct tape. and instead of 5mm nylon I used 8mm. The result is a great sturdy sling. A little on the heavy side so I guess next time I'll use thinner nylon. I really like the feel of it. The big plus is that it is cheap and quick to make, so if it breaks I can easily make another just like it.

Thanks Zorro! I am one happy guy.
