Amsteel Winch Line and Hardware

Thanks. I have a superwinch, just never had the line off before. Used to have a smittybilt and there was a screw you put in on one side of the drum.

And sure, add the extra 3 feet for splicing. It doesn't really matter to me, seeing as you have to leave a few feet spooled on the drum anyway. So that's 2 x 103' with the better thimble

 

Your the man Erik!

 

Let's get that order total up!!

Group Buy is closing tomorrow at 11:59 PST

Now's your chance..I'm not going to be able to do another GB for quite a while.

I'll start taking payments on Monday, once I get a firm total on rope and hardware.

Jake

 

If we get 5 more orders in before midnight I'll randomly select one of those five who'll get their winch rope free of charge w/choice of "good" or "best" thimble... just cover the shipping!

Come on guys!

What's with everyone voting in the poll and not placing an order??

 

of course this would be ending as soon as i join the forum

 

I'm in Pacific Time!!

Still 45 mins..

 

I got lost in all the beer math that was going on through out the thread. whats the price per foot now and the extra costs? oh and what color was decided on?

 

To clarify..

Costs:

$1.60/Foot for line

$5 per splice

Rope will be silver

Apologies for clutter...first group buy I've coordinated.

 

Group Buy is now closed, I'll work on totaling orders, hardware and providing final prices.

Should have everything totaled by tomorrow evening; I'll begin taking payment then.

Also, I've decided just to take payment in full, rather than 2 separate payments. It'll be much less confusion that way, as well as avoiding excessive PayPal fees.

Thanks all for making this a successful Group Buy!

Jake

 

Thanks Jake. You are the man.

 

Thanks; working on getting a final price for everyone, so I can start taking payment..

Talked to my supplier - rope/thimbles have been ordered. Everything should be in by the end of this week. Was expecting a call from him this afternoon with order total, and hardware prices - which never came. He's the manager for a major trawl net manufacturer, and this year is super busy for the company. Worst case I'll start collecting payment when I pick up everything.

For all that signed up - really hope that you'll all follow through on payment, as I'm kind of putting myself out there by paying for the rope up front out of my pocket!!

Thanks for staying tuned..

Jake

 

Still waiting on rope/hardware. Going to check in down in Seattle tomorrow, will update everyone then.

Thanks,
Jake

 

Jake was nice enough to come by in his spare time today and help me with my synthetic cable. You won't be disappointed - he takes a lot of care in making sure work is completed properly. Was also great to get splicing lessons from the 'man' himself.

+1 to you Jake and GLW GB.

 

Thanks Will!

 

Okay Fellas...

Good news and bad news. Well, mostly good news.

Currently have 1500 Feet of Amsteel in my garage. Also, have 13 gusseted thimbles.

Supplier "mis-spoke" when he quoted my the per. foot cost of Amsteel. I'm going to have to return the price to $1.75/Foot. My apologies guys, I thought that I had pinned him down on a price; next GB will go much more smoothly..

On the bright side, you're still getting Amsteel at about $1 cheaper than anywhere else.

Thimbles are going to be $20, they are steel and painted with thin blue paint. I'm thinking of stripping them and throwing a couple coats of Hammerite Black on them, that way you'll have a much more rugged finish.

Put about 300 miles on the truck tonight, so I'm going to hold off on starting to splice your orders until tomorrow, I'll ship them out as soon as I receive payment; so delivery time frame is in your hands!

Still think that Flat Rate Box will be the best shipping option; @ $15.45 to anywhere in the CONUS.

So, in summary:

$1.75/Foot

$5.00/Splice

$20/Gusseted (STEEL) Thimble

I'll start getting invoices worked up momentarily!

Thanks for bearing with me, it's been a learning process.

I see I missed your response to my question. If you can throw enough in for 3 splices I'd take it. Thanks either way.

 

I've got about 50 feet of the 3.1 MM - if I've got enough I'll throw some in your box.

And I can't charge ya for 3 feet of twine... It's on the house!
