I think I might be tempted to use some of my precious green hemp to make one. Cheers.

I might try this out and make a few more since it removes all the pains and suffering of making the hard loom.

The second warp follows the same path and goes through the same gaps, but in the opposite direction.

Nice !
Looking good.

Looks like you've been getting some practice in Thumbs Up

All styles looking smooth

Kinda early release on the fig 8 - but we'll just say you were going for distance whistle

is that the original kestro ? did i ever give it back ?
I have no clue

But I haven't seen it lying around recently - so i must have given it back lol

So the twisted cords on the sling don't cause any issues ?

Is that the max framerate for the camera ?

The dart is new, I never did see that old one again.
