Im in the process of making a set myself right now. I am putting an eye (mobius Brummel) in on end, then cow hitching it to the bail on the pulpit. Im using colligo terminators on the other end with 1/8 dyneema for lashing. Doing the same for the gates accept no colligo terminator just a cowhitched eye and a Johnson Pelican hook.
Im using 1/4" amsteel for the uppers and 3/16 for the lowers. Im also attempting to prestretch the amsteel prior to making the sections by loading up the line and letting it sit for a while then unloading and reloading a few more times. Using the cocpit primaries for this. No thimbles though, hope I'm not branded a heretic.
