Rosary rebuild.
When I bought the van it had an old Rosary in it. It was the only piece of the previous owners trash I kept in the van.
The other day i was driving along and the sun visor swung down and ripped the Rosary off its home, breaking the string.
I tossed the broken parts in the cup holder and continued on. Last night I layed awake thinking i should fix it. This morning li looked around for a suitable string to re tie it and could not find anything. I ran out of time as I wanted to get in early and work for a bit alone. Turns out beacuse I drove the van to work my shop keys wern't on the ring and I am locked out of my own shop... now I sitting in the parkimg lot looking at this broken Rosary and thinking, now would be a good time to fix this.
I remember that I went to Bass Pro and bought some new backing for my reels and that my fishing gear is in the back. I grab the spool of backing and dang if it aint just right.
Lets get to getin!
This is how I started.
First try at rebuilding. I got a ways in before I realised that all the knots were eating up more string than I had planed for..
By this point pops had showed up whit his key so I sat down at a table.
Take two.
This time i got it all done and realised i must have lost a bead because i dont have a cross to separate the last section...
Well if you gonna do a thing, may as well do it right..... so I cut it all back apart. This time I pulled one of the cross beads off the lower section where originally there were two and used one to separate the last beads. Turns out I must have lost two beads because the last section only has 9 beads in it.
I figure its the thought that counts right?
Now its all back in one piece and back in the van where it belongs.
Thank you for all the time and advice.
