Yay, presents!

Santa Claus came round today and left me a bottle of Chardonnay... in a nifty black satin bag embroidered with phoenixes.
As enamored as I am with wrapping material of all sorts, I'm particularly fond of wine bags. They're often lovely and I want to use them for other things, but sadly, I don't have a whole lot of things that are long and cylindrical that need storage. I think this one is about the right size to keep my incense in though. Yay!

My concern with the spring is how the bouncing would affect the rope and sheave. If one went low enough on the way down, the lack of weight on the bounce back up could cause the rope to lose tension and slip out of the groove on the sheave. Since an elastic rope would naturally adjust its tension, I think it might be the safer option.

The big problem with the frame idea is keeping it to a reasonable size while also keeping the supports out of the way of amorous activities. There are a few things less sexy than a concussion, but not many. I'd prefer having a house with exposed rafters, myself. It gives you something very solid to hook into, and you can keep an eye on the connection for signs of fatigue.

Hmmm... you wanting a new job? We could go into business together :-)

All hail...
