    Just getting into amsteel , I don't like this learning curve, at this point I don't like working with it.
    The best things happen at the worse possible time.

    It(I) might not be the prettiest thing, however It(I'm) is quite functional.

    If you were closer, I would invite you over to show you how I do it. I got my next supply in yesterday and made myself 4 tie downs for another tarp I have. It took around 30-40 minutes (with breaks for sweet tea) to do all 4 with eyes and whoopie type adjustment. I use a paracord fid http://www.paracordist.com/paracord-...ng-needle-kit/ and some heavier duty stainless wire to make them.

    I priced out an entire spool. Marine West has them for $114. When I am done with this batch, that will be my next purchase.
