We’ve had rope on here before but it would always get loose and fray, I also always wanted to mes with rigging so decided its the perfect excuse to buy a crimper.

Drilled holes into the pipes to put the eyelets. Got two cables up for now, at least the hard part is done, running the cable and crimping isn’t so bad. The drilling and stuff was the hard part

    Hey everyone, when drying your clothes, especially shirts and tshirts and hoodies whatnot, hang them to dry on hangers! You avoid silly creases mid way up the shirts, and the wetness stretches and draws the fabric a little so they straighten out better.

    I take clothes drying seriously, this is the proper way.

      Clothers are heavier when wet, and putting shirts, hoodie etc on a hanger risk stretching out the shoulders over time (especially with heavy fabric, bulk, or knitwear).

      Upside-down will still stretch them out but at the bottom where it may not impact the shape as much so it’s better. More pins around the bottom means a more even stretch.

      When I have space I like hanging them over the width of two or three lines so they’re laying flat in the middle and get two shallow L-shaped creases instead of one deep V-shaped - the L-creases are barely noticeable in comparison.

      A more involved option is to rearrange (move a little bit so they crease at a different spot, four L-creases are basically invisible), or even move them to hangers, when they’re halfway dry.

      Drying is no joke!

      I was wondering about that, normally my wife makes me hang her shirts from the very bottom hanging upside down for dear life to avoid that. But then I was thinking if there are hangers with like a carabiner top that can lock onto the cable so the wind doesn’t spin them off

      I live in the UK and do this more so that I can sodding sprint out when summer decides to end 30 minutes after blazing sunshine and then it rains for 40 days and 40 nights

        Avoiding creases on clothes using a dryer is super easy. All it requires is taking them out as soon as they are dry, while still hot, and then hanging them up immediately after that.

        If you let them sit in the dryer too long or put them in a drawer they will have creases
