Anyone know if Kathy is still doing business? I have a Gargoyle rig that could do with a spare part (cutaway).

Thanks!

I always have the same problem. They don't answer the phone or e-mails. Just keep calling, leaving messages and e-mails. Eventually, someone will call you back.

I got a shipment of gear from her yesterday.

Thanks guys.

After shipping to UK, it would be cheaper to make your own cutaway handle. And they are damn simple, and quite generic.

Yes, but he'll be in Florida on Friday of this week.

Taken in it's entirety, my statement is still valid.

ha !

what kind of sewing machine would do the trick? would you need anything more than yellow cutaway cable and some flat webbing?

depending on how ghetto you want to do it, you could get away with a straight stitch machine, yellow cable and some Type IV webbing.

Ideally, TypeIV webbing + bartacker + nicopress sleeve + nicopress crimper + yellow cable.

First cutaway handle I made was a skydiving cutaway handle and I used a table top Dressmaker. It worked well enough to be perfectly functional.

All the subsequent ones I used a good single needle and a zig zag. A double pass of a zig zag works wonders

Do the zig zag stitch, pick up the foot, put the material back at the beginning and do another zig zag right over the top. That stitch is very common in rig making.

There all you need is $1,500.00 worth of equipment/materials and two hours to set it up and do the job.

I would just jump without it.

Or order one from Morpheus?!

If they call you back

I love you guys!

In a purely platonic way I hope?

or a friend who has all those things.......

Or just a good zig zag and a hammer. Not kidding.

Bother her enough and she will give you her personnel cell.
