A rough cut, freehand with disk grinder. A #crochet hook for some chonky rope. This is tool #steel and will NOT bend (easily) :)

So I did a filing with a medium file, then a diamond file, then some 80 grit paper to smooth it out, decent results. I may cut more of the opening out to hold the rope better on pulling but this is workable.
I got a magic ring 6 done, working on the 2nd round with increases. This is very hard though and glad I am using this steel punch now! LOL It is ridiculous, but fun. #crochet #poppintags

Further work on the hook, I removed a lot morw material on the jaw(? correct term ?) and now it grabs the rope better, since this is chord, ot ia very rigid, unlike yarn. Other chonky™ fibers are normally more plush or squishy.

This takes a LOT of rope. I can hope for a seat cover at this point. LOL #crochet

@thejikz nice experiment. How thick is it?
Show threadthejikz
@kokorins 3/8 rope, its turning out over an inch thick in total I think. My squirrel brain is conceptualizing a seat I can suspend from a tree now... :)
