Any body ever back off the tension and wrap a rope or wire around the pulleys and measure. You can also measure the old blade with a tape measure too. No rocket science here.

Yeah yeah yeah

I have a pair of shoes that need laces. I think they are bigger than average, but smaller than some.

If it helps, they are sneakers and are mostly white. ​

Can you guys help me figure out what I need? Oh, I may also need help tying them once I get them laced.

velcro is your best bet!

Coming down the grape vine, a steep hill in so Cal on I 5, in my 78 F250 with a 390, blew a fan belt. In the dark. The belt runs the water pump and the alt. I used a pair of nylons from my girl friends legs! Worked fine all the way to Fontana, about 80 miles

The warmer weather we started getting yesterday got me out in the shop for some fresh air, I completed a 40 wall and 36 foot wall four feet up with ich-alation.
Move slow and smooth not to shake any of the chit in the air, Bud lite and I enjoyed some NFL and a fire just outside the shop .. good day to be outside
I feel marvelous this morning, must have been the exercise and fresh air

Bailing twine is roughly 18 gauge but it's a very pliable and soft wire.

Number 9 wire is about as thick as a pencil, maybe just a hair smaller in diameter. Not easily bent or wrapped. Commonly used at lot corners for corner post bracing.
