what's in your rigging bags?! Show em up !

Look what just arrived today!!!! Just showing it here in this thread for now. Will start a proper post on the THT when I have time to show everything and explain everything. Plus time for answering questions.
Three slightly different versions of this same size came today for my review. I requested the hardcoat in matte finish because I think the highly polished type might not have enough friction. Got in the matte finish solid one, the matte finish reduced weight one (drilled out in the thick area to reduce weight) and the solid one with high polish.

shown here is the one we will likely go with. The reduced weight one will not likely stay as cool as the solid one, plus the extra cost of machining more is making it cost too much, plus it won't be as strong.

you are welcome to copy and share these pictures where you want, I might get time to post a proper thread this weekend.

I'll start rigging with them tomorrow. Can't wait.

Excellent workmanship in these.

Yeha@ww cowboy!
 
Not sure what you mean here? Are you talking natural crotch or something different?
Just useing a natural crotch yes or cutting a spot in the spar . I would explain more ,but its an fairly unsafe and not predictable. Better to sell the guy on a block . Just thought maybe you were familiar since your lacking hardware by the sounds of it.

Wow. That looks f'in awesome. Like a belay rack for rigging?

I've seen that done, but would never try it (the spar cut; I've natural crotched plenty). This was my first year with this company and it was a bit of a shock having to deal with inadequate and/or subpar equipment after having worked for years with other companies who were prepared. I brought the topic up to my boss back in the summer and he mentioned wanting to sit down with me and do up an order of stuff I thought we should have. Then the storm hit, he went to the local industrial supplier, came back with a couple of these pulleys and a 4-ton snatch block (which has never been used), and the topic died.
 
Usally you can find the part, and then just copy the link at the top of your browser. Then just add the link via our stuff at the bottom, where it sat add link, just paste it into there. Cntr C (Copy), Cntr V (Paste).
 
I thought it might be used for building a 3-holer outhouse for guinea pigs... but I'm guessing it's more like a bigass version of these...

...no, more like this...

...whatever. Looks interesting. And, BIG.

Funny, how people see things differently. I see it almost like a bms belay spool. Have it on a dead eye sling, and terminal rig w/ "good" friction.

I knew there's an order of operations to follow ,thank you. That's helpful!

That's what I'm seeing belay spool mixed with a block. Just looking for a configuration that provides rigging line protection .

But don't let that deter you, it was operator error. They are decent little pulleys and will get the job done. I've even used them to block down some monster pine rounds and never had it be an issue to the ropes.[/QUOTE]

I've had that happen to that pulley too. Now I use my other cmi for mechanical advantage only no rigging in the tree

This looks cool! Would you weave the rigging line through this to have more bends in the rope? Can't wait to see a video
