I used to cast a little for a miniatures maker. One needs to develop a rhythm.

@Imp, I though the entire blog was already a simplified physical sciences primer on slingshots

"BDSM" LOL; what's the sound of one hand clapping. "ouch, ouch, ouch!"

No, I have finally got a handle on how bands work. At least I have the tools and understanding to proceed. In doing so, I learned a lot about life.

You could pack them in an atmosphere of THC smoke, then people won't care if the bands wear out. They'll be mellow.

I want some of those fastbands. I wore out my last set and thought that was the end of a great thing.

I need to chase up on the steel rule die maker; the quote is overdue. I'm getting a mould made for the standard Fastbands pouch, plus a mould for a larger pouch for use on the new Fastbands Magnum. I have also done a QC test run with a friend who I've trained to tie the bands. So all I have to do is coordinate the production of the various OEM parties and inspect and pack. Demand has proved to be very high and kitchen table production methods are no longer feasible.
