Just a couple comments:
I have built a wench and think it is absolutely great. I at first was skeptical b/c it kept slipping and didn't feel right, but after some adjustments and breaking it in a bit, the thing is amazing. I followed PirateSteves idea and used insoles instead of the grippers, and they work very well. I also have trimmed off a lot of the extra Velcor and my Wench is now only about 6-7 inches long (I was having troubling clamping it using a medium clamp)
First of all for all those who need parts you can find all of them at walmart if you use the insoles instead of the grippers
Velcro = Crafts
Clamp *3 pack of small, med, large*= Hardware (tricky to find at the one i went to, kinda hanging off to the side and not really part of the aisle so keep a lookout for them)
Nylon Strap = camping/hunting/fishing section
Insoles = pharmacy
**Btw, i did find beige colored grippers that were 1*2 at Target in the hardware area
I was able to put the whole thing together in less than 20 and after trying it and finding it a bit uncomfortable at first i manually tried breaking the Velcro in with my hands. I basically rolled it up, twisted it, bent it and everything else just to loosen it up a bit, and it worked pretty well and made it much more comfortable with my next use.
For those wondering about weight, the pirate took care of that saying that he can use up to 25lbs, i have done 15lbs and its worked comfortably for me
Red - what you made looks to be very cost efficient and uses items that are readily available. The only thing i see that wont work as well as the Wench is that from the pics it doesnt look like you have the side 'grippers' These i believe are important for those using more weight as the Captain had said somewhere it will take pressure off the dorsal nerves. But nice job nonetheless
Capt - EXCELLENT creation, I commend you. This is a great device. Been using it for 3 days now, and I can already tell I will get great gains. My penis is already exhausted
Pirate - very nice ideas for the ADS and the insoles, you have taken this fantastic idea to a new level. I commend both pirates
Cheers to both of you:clank:
