Today I converted some random lengths of extra winch rope to some soft shackles.

not sure what style i like better. the left or the right. the left seams to be the most popular with the winch rope companies.

Nice Job!

On the 'improved' twin leg design where the legs are buried, make sure they have some taper on the buried section to help with the transition. If the line is a hard full diameter transition it can create a weak point.

I'm ready to replace my winch rope too. I was going to make half into a winch line extension, and now you've given me an idea for the other half.
