Compact Bulldog Bone

[tomthetreeman]

The bounce I was experiencing was from the multiple small TIP's, not the line itself. Differing opinions on that, apparently!

Use a brake hand. Imisunderstoodyourfirstpostonthesubject.

I did use a brake hand, it worked pretty well, just wasn't practical in all situations. Good info from everyone, thanks!

im with tom, i use the line Swingdude's referring to, and the times i experienced this was working waaay out on white oaks, with their long spindly limbs using multiple redirects.

Purpose built lanyard adjuster with Nano swivel, made for 7/16" KM III (even tho pictured with velocity)

I like it!

 

[MikePowers321]

awesome! I was just thinking about going back to the 7/16 Km111 as well. What a coincidence : )

 

[MikePowers321]

Put me down for an order Gordon, but I have my own nano to use

Ok, but I am waiting on a chain rivet tool for the press fit pins (pictured above). The arms are stainless steel, while the friction links are high carbon steel.

 

[tomthetreeman]

I'll get in line for one too.

Me three.

Gordon, how does it feel? Smooth tending and release under load? Any pros and cons you wish to share?

 

[surveyor]

I would say it is reasonably smooth both tending and releasing. The friction points are just over 5/16" and are not rotatable, but very smooth.
If very heavily weighted, it will release with the bottom arm pulled down and the top arm acting as a sort of brake.

Made for 11mm? Have you tried 10mm?

I have not tried any 10mm. It works for me with Aegis sp? 11mm?, but velocity is my nemesis, as it creeps with velocity.

Saweeeeeet. I will get in that line as well.

 

[oceans]

Might be different with a well used piece. So many ropes change with use.

 

[surveyor]

I should qualify that the velocity creeps when my full weight is suspended on a doubled line with pulley above at TIP, it may be OK for a lanyard.

That looks great! Now, I imagine a riveting machine is going to mean your creativity will be unleashed Gordon.

Hi Gordon,

I've been playing with that prototype you generously sent me and it works really well on 7/16" Petzl Vector. I tried it with 10mm PMI rope and it slipped pretty badly.

Not sure if it is same geometry of your current build.

Nice smooth release on this one.
