I have tried to mark them, measure them and anything else anyone has ever told be but they still come out not spaced equal. So I got to playing around in the shop and came up with a little tool that works for me. I can put 10 equally spaced knots in a line in 2 min. and everyone of them will be within a 1/16 of an inch spacing. I am not saying this is the tool of a life time, but it works for me and saves me a lot of time and I get the knots spaced just like I want them. If you would like a BMP file of the little tool so you can make one for yourself just send me an Email. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = From: davidl@nordicsoftware.com (David Larson) Subject: Re: Knot Spacing Date: Fri, 3 May 1996 09:35:19 -1000 Organization: Nordic Software Message-ID: > > I am not saying this is the tool of a life time, but it works for me > and saves me a lot of time and I get the knots spaced just like I want > them.

A few days ago I tried to make a new bridle on one of my kites with the result that it took me about 2 hours cause the distances of the knots weren´t the same and so I had to open each knot very often.Maybe your little tool will help me for the future! I will tell you !

I would also greatly appreciate a copy of that bitmap, sounds like a kewl idea! nanp@nr.infi.net If I claim to be a wise man.....
