Re: (ET) lift strap

[SteveS <ssawtelle fcc net>]

I used a heavy nylon dog leash as an emergency fix. One nice thing is 
one loop is already made. May not be as strong as it should be. The next 
one was made from a lifting strap from McMaster. I bougth a long loop 
strap, cut it up, and made two lift straps from it. It's about twice as 
thick which makes it a bit tight in some applications where the roller 
is close and the double thickness where the end is sewed is a bit stiff. 
But it will never break (probably shouldn't have said that!)..

On sewing, I just use heavy synthetic thread and a large sewing needle. 
The nylon web is not too hard to push through. It's good 'evening by the 
fire' therapy.
