thanks for posting this!   My lifelines are certainly on their last leg, and this looks like a neat project.   The pictures are great, and I love the sense of humor that accompanies the procedures.. it looks like a  possible spring project for me!    jt

Knowing what a rope nut you are this looks like a natural for you and your CP 19.  This winter you should post some DIY's for some of your rope/knot projects.
