The block is almost ready. I bought the nylon cord, thick bolts and wingnuts yesterday; and they're all fitted. I've bevelled the hole and sanded the edges of the block.
I'm wondering how to hook the cords up. I do have a few basic "S" hooks, so I could experiment with attaching the hook to my original rope; then suspending the cord from the other end of the hook.
Any thoughts on that? The steel girder is too high up. I wouldn't dare attach the cord directly to it in case I slipped and fell on to the concrete floor!

The cords are tied on the bottom of the block and thus form a loop on the top side on each end. These two loops can be put on one "s"hook that can attach to the overhead suspension rope. kbar
ReplyDeleteI have made the cord length about 12" each. This allows enough separation for placement of the balls when the bolt nuts are off. This also allows the S hook to be 2" or so above the balls when suspended. kbar
ReplyDeleteDear Tim,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. You are making it!
Next time I come to Europe I must visit you. I have always been dreaming of some one hanging from my balls. You have to do it. I will hang from yours. We can make pictures together. I could also make you a ring like mine if you want?
I did read in one of your paragraphs that you would like to be in touch with me. Well here I am. I have not been stretching for some time because of an operation. but I am now in full swing again.
greetings
HABAKUK
I would like to know how Habakuk's ring is designed. kbar
ReplyDeleteHi Habakuk,
ReplyDeleteHope you don't mind my asking, the operation wasn't related to the ball-stretching was it?
