@Bert03241 oh wow, that DOES sound like the way to go. I could use that in the future. It does seem easier than I thought with the right tools. I'll have to poke around for the right size/style fasteners, but yea...that does seem like the right direction. Thank you so much!
@fredk yea, I'm going to go with his idea. Now that I've looked at the tools and the availability of spools of pre-cut straps, it certainly makes more sense for me to learn how to do it. But I really appreciate your willingness. Thank you!
