Especially since I don't have a sister, lol. That pic might draw some comments from my wife too.

ML, I'm just not sure why you'd use it. I'm sure I'm missing something. Wouldn't the BDB work fine on its own?

Sure but so does a Blakes hitch on Ddrt. Sometimes just because you can do it means you should try to do it. That same theory also lead to many broken bones in my life, lol.

I can assure you, my friend, that such a picture would most definately garner some fast and furious remarks...
It will be interesting to hear how your testing goes. I had a nice RW Uni combo that I used for a while. It did make the Uni easier to control but also increased the complexity. There should be no need for such extra friction control with the BDB as it one hands a decent better than any other full mechanical I have used when set up right.

I agree that it does not need to be done at all, I am just throwing sh*t against the wall to see what sticks. If that picture sparks the creative minds out there then it has done it's job. I see or hear about stuff all the time that has no purpose for what I am doing or thinking about at the moment but....later when I have another problem to solve sometimes what was not applicable back when becomes a baseline idea for how to solve the now current dilemma.

This is what you get when you read 144 pages of a forum and a free sat morning. I'm still not finished. Gordon's idea is quite ingenuous. The beauty is in its simplicity.

Gordon made great thing even better. Locking links, rubber grips on the upper arms, and new lower arms that work very well in a 3:1 setup. I'm psyched.

Other than looking cool, what do the hooks do for you Adam? I know they must be there for a reason.

Awesome! Lower arms are looking nice. Is it really that much better in a 3:1 now? How so?
Looks like your able to bend rope into new cutouts making it easier to load? If so I don't see it as necessary? Would definitely rather see a sold main beam made and do away with big hole.
The notch is the same depth as the last batch, it's just that now the bottom friction link pin is supported better by the lower arms even if the bottom swivel snap link is left inadvertently open. I will try to post up a picture of it with the rope installed tomorrow.
