Sugru hack - penknife handles
(viewed 2177 times)
The handles had cracked off these penknives - in one case due to abuse, in
the other due to poor build quality - so I Hacked Them Better. Each side of
each knife required one 5g packet, so four in total. The bottom one's green
(I'd just got back from the Scottish Green Party conference, and was feeling
enthusiastic), and the top one's a mixture of green and blue. Green and
black would probably have been better. Drying both sides at once had me
scratching my head, but I solved the problem with the top of a cocktail
shaker. I impressed my initials into the uncured Sugru with a penknife blade
- what else? :-)

This is one week's moustache growth. I'm going to try to keep this up for the whole of November.

Is yoghurt improved by soy sauce? Place bets now!

It is, to my surprise. Really quite delicious.

Rigging methods, take 2
1) sliding X: note extension-limiting knots and crossing point in the
middle. Leave out the latter and your belay is worthless if either placement
fails!
2) cordelette.

Rigging methods
1) sliding X
2) cordelette
EDIT: upon looking at these pictures, I realise that neither of these is rigged very well! In particular, the sliding X lacks limiter knots, and the cordelette's very poorly equalised. Please don't use these to learn from - they were only ever intended for illustration anyway. I'll try to take some better pictures tomorrow.
