Jeepster Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 ... When the two holes line up, the lines are equal. Walt, How about going back to a pointed tip. Then add scribe lines on the bottom piece to denote how much difference there is between the two lines being measured. That would yield a dimension of how much to shorten the long line. Cheers, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS Kite Stakes Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Walt,How about going back to a pointed tip.

Cheers, Tom I wanted to stay away from a scribed line due to the small problem of needing reading glasses now. I would end up needing them to see the scribe line clearly, a hole is easier to see with slightly blurry vision..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airin Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I don't know about pro........... Here is what I whipped up in thirty minutes out in the shop. The Mini Kite Stake (about 7 inches or 18 cm long) is for size reference. When the two holes line up, the lines are equal. Nice work RS676Man! Sign me up for one of those!

harrier Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I think most of us might have a line winder made with a line equaliser built in, I have no problem using one with a finger hole, plenty accurate enough when loading up a pair of lines. http://canadiankitecompany.myshopify.com/p...ts/multi-winder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiteLife Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Just updated with two new tutorials... All are indexed at http://www.learnkites.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmeek Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I think we all like your tutorials (I certainly do), but something I have not seen mentioned is important: Unlike almost every other video on the internet, your tutorials have a good audio track and it is recorded at (or adjusted to) a useful volume level. I almost never have to adjust the volume on my computer when watching these tutorials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
