Sorry for such a late response, I very rarely check back on these instructables. I chose cardboard because I just needed a quick enclosure to hold the parts together. Later, I bought a plastic enclosure to house it all. As far as CRT radiation, I doubt it emits a significant amount. The CRT-tube was cannabalized from an old camcorder (that was made of plastic, I don't think that blocks radiation).

Thank you, I appreciate you comment :)

Parachute cord is good as general-purpose cordage, but is not good for climbing.

Hey man, I'm really sorry I didn't see this before! I check back here every once in a blue moon... bad timing.

Thanks I appreciate it!

Just wanted to once again thank all of those who've commented here! It's awesome. I have not been active on Instructables for quite some time so I haven't been able to thank you all individually.You guys rock! Cheers!

Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate it! Thank you for the link as well :)
