Fridays are for projects at @The Chairman 's!
Been needing to make my own for a long time and started doing some survey work with @mer fairly recently and realized she was borrowing one as well. Called up my dad to see if there were any deck boards laying around from the deck project that I could snag since they were plastic deck boards and look nicer/stay cleaner/etc vs. a standard board. The slight hiccup was that he only had a board just under 8ft and one full 12ft board which was going to make this project rather interesting since we need to make a knot at 10ft in the light and the spool wants to sit behind your shoulder for comfort.
The one on the right is for Mer and is the "traditional" style which is ideal and is straight up and straight down. The other two are "compact" versions which are smaller, but won't be quite as fast due to the extra eyelets causing some drag. I'll keep one and will give the other to Netdoc to keep at Scubaboard HQ.
Video from Boegarts showing how to use it. He uses a mark slightly shorter than 10ft, though the KUR is using a tight 10ft, so for consistency there are marks at 10ft.
