Right then, all the 1mm Dyneema is ordered. What was I thinking, dolt! I'm going to have to think of a sensible efficient way of measuring this all out, I may have to do it by weight,

Find a large area, put two posts in the ground 50 metres apart and wrap it around. You should finish where you started and you just cut all the strands at that post. I work in an aircraft hangar and this sort of thing is easy. If you work in a post office you may have to consider if this is practical.

Thanks for the suggestion. Perhaps I should look for a 100m running track!

Onc you've measured out the first use it to measure out the others.

Yep, did that with the 50m 2.5mm Dyneema. It was begging for a tangle when it comes to separating, just imagine what 100m of 1mm is going to be like! :yikes:

 

[Hog On Ice]

you could measure it using a warping board - relatively easy to make or borrow one from a hand weaver - pic: http://lghttp.19977.nexcesscdn.net/...25d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/w/a/warp-board-14yd.jpg - put in a cross to help keep it from being tangled - see page 13 of http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/books/unk_hand.pdf for an example of a cross and how to handle it

D'oh, I should have read the full thread.....

Will you let me know if you have a spare 100m?

Cheers, Michael.

I may reopen the GB when I see how processing goes! The Dyneema has now been ordered. There may be a spare 100m left, I'll let you know if so.

Missed this, if there's any going after all is done I'd have some.

OK Tony, I'll keep you in mind.

The first lot of this stuff has turned up. I will have a go over the weekend at getting some 100m lengths measured out. I have been wandering around pacing out the distance between different lamp posts to find two that are 100m a part! The reel it comes on has that nice plastic off gassing smell that kills insects at 30 paces.

There's no flies on you bud (groan)

 

[woodstock]

sorry I forgot about this I'll get Fi to PP you.

Right then, I have discovered how many times I have to walk around the poles to measure out 100m. It should work fine as long as they stand still and stop gesticulating whilst babbling at me in broken English. I am still waiting for some to arrive, Dyneema that is not poles, so I will get it done as time, opportunity and enthusiasm allow! I will post out the first one tomorrow, erm, or maybe Monday!

PS and you all owe me a drink, I won't be daft enough to do 1mm again as it tangles invisibly even if you just break wind in the wrong direction.

Top man. Thanks for your efforts.

Plus one to that - thanks very much for getting this on, it's appreciated............

Thanks for the efforts. I'm glad the 100m will keep me going for a while!

If you find a spare bit I would be interested. Shot in the dark, but you never know.
