My new rope case!
I’d had this idea in my head for a while before I finally got it together to make it a reality. I think of this as being a test version, a first draft. If I like it enough, I can see myself investing in a new case and spending a bit more time on the design & aesthetic. For now, this works.
I bought an old electric guitar hardcase from craigslist, screwed some hooks into the frame of the case on top and the lower edge of an internal shelf on the bottom half. The hooks give me enough storage for at least 4 15′-30′ bundles in the top half and at least 4 30′-50′ bundles in the bottom half. When it’s open it’s free-standing, which means I don’t have to dig through a bag to find the length I need. I can grab & unhook it quickly.
I still need to figure out how & where to be able to attach my suspension ring, and probably a couple of carabiners and safety shears as well.
Obviously this isn’t something I’d carry around on a day-to-day basis, or even if I was just carrying a bit of rope somewhere for casual play. It was more made with performances or workshops in mind, something where I’d like the gear I’m using to give whatever it is I’m doing a little extra kick. There’s also the fun part of when people see me carrying the case and ask, “What you got in there, a guitar?” I can just look at them and say, “No.” And leave them thinking…
