You made me a sling! Wow, it looks really awesome, I was just looking up the cobra style ones on here a little while back. I'm assuming that was the one you were talking about sending me a while back. If you want to keep it or anything don't worry about it, it must cost a bit to ship a sling and all. But it looks really great, and I would love to try it out. Maybe in the future I can send you one too, after the SITH exchange anyway, gotta shell out about 15$ for the shipping there...

Sling lengths from the end of the loop to the middle of the pouches:

Rockman sling: 98cm (my third one)
King Tut sling: 73cm (my second one)
String/leather sling: 65cm (my first one)

Thanks for the kind remarks Ratman. I´ve tried the leather sling a couple of times now.
I like it, the absence of a fingerloop takes a while to get used to, but it´s a solid design.
I have more leather, I´ll make sure to put a fingerloop this time.

The glandes are still sitting there, waiting for their drafting.

Finished this one today. Had to take it apart from the pouch to the finger loop because I made the loop too small. Math... Going to make one like this for me

It's wool (acryllic) over hemp; 26.5" from pouch ctr to release knot. Four doubled strands of hemp and 4 doubled strands of yarn. Tapered release cord.

Heres the projectile I found, recovered from a MG range. It's by a Victorinox multitool for size comparison.

Here's three new slings that I made. The first is as much a training exercise as anything else. It's difficult to weave very small slings with curly, miserable sisal. This is a seven strand sheep shank acorn launcher. Usually the kids grab these tiny slings up as fast as I can make them, which isn't very fast at all:
