    Michael, I was referring to the braiding machine in your video not your furler!

    John this is just my opinion from conversing with you and what you like to do with your leaders, that Silk isn't going to do what you want it to. It will either float or sink, but not simply submerge. I would say it is more supple than Danville, but again that is my opinion. Michaels explination of this is very good. For me and what I like to do Silk fits the bill great! They are extremely beautiful, and have a much nicer smoother twist to them.

    Cheers,
    Brandon

    Michael,
    Are you assuming the use of a reversible power source if one wants to power furl after twisting the legs? Maybe you are figuring the home furler will use an electric drill?

    What are the diameters of the drive and satellite shafts?...and the distance between the sattelite shafts?

    Thanks

    If a person wanted to use a nonreversible motor would it cost more to have one with the drive shaft extended out the front centered between the satellite shafts?

    Seems to me that wouldn't amount to much and would give a little versatility.

    Brandon,
    I'm not sure what this means...can you elaborate please.
    "The middle strand is put in between the posts on the outside to give it the perfect smooth taper. "
    Do you lay out separate legs like eclectic angler or do you connect all 3 somehow?
    How about a picture of the top you use for 3 strand leaders.

    Howdy All;

    First Want to thank everyone for their knowledge and sharing it so freely.

    Second I'd like to ask if there is a drawing/diagram/photo of a three Armed furling
    set-up.

    Third Thanks for all the work that's been done and the willingness to spread the word.
