Yeah, but to paraphrase that old Pace Picante commercial... "Get a rope..."It was just like butter.

I'm confused. I don't remember that part of the Pace ad and I had a rope. A good rope.Yeah, but to paraphrase that old Pace Picante commercial... "Get a rope..."
In spite of the pursed lips, pearl clutching warnings about the end of world, nothing happened except what I wanted to happen and the only thing hurt, damaged or lost, was the oak, some nails, my chain and one lost wire clamp.
Why tacos? Because that's what we're having for dinner.

I could have done it with the wire rope just fine but for sure the high quality rope was much more convenient. I'll never have one because even a relatively short 3/4" bull rope is 5 times as expensive as wire rope. I don't need it that often and having a friend with one is even better than having one yourself because I'd probably forget where I put it in the pile of crap I've accumulated.

It's positively embarrassing, every time I get an urge to get neat, finding out how many of whatever I have, that I bought replacements for when I couldn't find the other one I had.
I once discovered I had six regular plier type wire strippers... I won't even think about how many raker gauges I've got...
