Right on! Don't forget to tell em where you got it :)

Shipped! Package weighed 3lbs!

@WSS Let me know if you are still interested. Thanks!

In the works! Should be complete by end of weekend! I used to think 3/16 was big, then went to 7/16 and thought those were big. These 3/4 are on another level. Every other size on the bottom left. Blue and red are the 7/16

Largest diameter shackle I've made to date! Hope it serves you well, Woody! Right on! Love to hear that they are getting some good use! I will start looking into the 3/4 :)

I'm thinking of doing some 9/16, 5/8, or 3/4 diameter AmSteel-Blue soft shackles. Do people look for those size diameters? Half of me just wants to play with the diameter. The other half would like to make for the community. What are your thoughts on the above sizes? Starting to get some...

Brummel vs lock stitching - I went over this on a sailing forum. Basically they said with a brummel lock (if that is what we are referring to) you are not really relying on the strength of the entire rope, rather a few strands that you crisscross. The ends still get buried, but back into itself...

Ahh, that's a good point, didn't think of that. Thanks for the tips!

Thanks! Yup get easier as you make more, and satisfy indeed. I love when people buy/comment on my items. Pushes me to grow. Main reason I bought 5/16, so I can cater to more people. Trying to be 'that soft shackle guy' everyone can go and work with for custom AmSteel-Blue products. :) so far...

What size diameter you use and or want the most? The diameter is measured by vernier gauge / ruler pulling shackle taut at 2 points. Guessing mostly 7/16. If you like something larger, post!

Thanks! Throughout my creations and feedback from others in the sailing community, some do not like milking the bury to close the eye because over time the milking gets tougher to close from debris/ wear. Mine do not require milking to close, it only needs slight tension to close the loop. The...

Still have my 83 cj7 with the 4.2L D35 front axle, AMC 20 rear axle, T4 transmission mated to the Dana 300 transfer case. Has the nutter bypass so all the unnecessary electronics have been stripped and vacuum hoses capped. Good ol' basic carb/engine operation. Has a manual choke. Has a Holley 2...

Hi Everybody, I came across this post just googling and I'd Iike to say that Samson AmSteel-Blue is some strong stuff that has many benefits. It is Dyneema HPME fiber. Samson is the #1 leader in rope for all industries since 1870s. MADE IN USA. YALE Cordage, New England Rope, and Marlow, to...
