Don Parsons' Blog: 01/05 Cub Progress - Putting on the Shock Cords

Posted in Members | January 06, 2010

Under Glenn's supervision, Sky and I learned how to put on shock cords this afternoon. He has a homemade "stretcher" which you put in a vise to use. Then it's a piece of cake to stretch them out and put them on. You just have to be careful, it one breaks it slaps you upside the head!
