Floppy Disk Bag: Install Disk 2

Step 16 What you will need: Strap

4 ft of 1.5" webbing: I chose cotton for reasons I will explain later
2 footman's loops: found at the same store I bought the webbing, check military surplus stores.
A 1.5" ladder for the webbing
4 Countersunk bolts to fit your footman's loops: These only need to be around .75" long
4 finishing washers
4 acorn nuts.

Rather than the footman's loop, one might be able to weave the strap in such a manner that it would loop through the bag, supporting the bottom. I have a cardboard bag that is very similar in dimension to this bag and the strap is exposed, supporting the bottom of the bag, "weaves" into the bag on the side and then back out at the top. One could easily do this by having the strap support the bottom of the bag on the outside, weave it through the space between the disks on the bottom and the bottom disk on the side (make a slot through the canvas, of course), then allowing the strap to come out through the space between the bottom of the top disk on the side.

I used a old computer cable and removed the screws which secure it then used the holes in the floppys to secure it to my bag.

yes, yes you could.

couldn't you use a guitar strap for this? because most are still comfortable after wearing them for ling periods of time and they have the loops on the ends already.

Where do you get those footman's loops? I have no idea where to look, and I have no idea what they are called in my language either, which makes it even harder to find them :)

If you can't find them at sporting goods stores or military surplus stores, you should be able to find them at boating stores. if you are still can't find them, try eBay what language would that be?

Okay, thanks. With 4 possibilities it should be able to find them. :) That would be danish. (Denmark is a part of Scandinavia)
