Ok folks, about to pull my hair out here, I have made taglines for years before OSHA came out with "better ways". Tagline had a loop on one end , and about the last 6" of the other end braided back onto itself .
As usuall, I am soliciting input from anybody willing to share. 018

PS, pics would help me better than words, as I could have a few beers while doing this.... 012 012 012

Reg,

Its pretty straightforward once you get it going. Just make sure you are splicing 3 strand rope!
