: But if I was to do it again for real simplicity, make the same 3in x 21 in
: bd, get 2 at 2 1/2in acco clips(the kind w/ the folding wire handles) and
: 16 in of 1/8in bungee. Tie the 2 clips to ea other w/ the bungee and about
: the 16 in separation, clip one end of the belt in one clip, wind the belt
: around the longbd and clip the other end. The bungee hold it in place.

Nah, that'd make a crappy bd. Nothing to hold on to, and the clamp would twist and slip, and you'd need 3 hands and forget it!

The knobs or handles are great to hang on to; for constant bd flexibility, it's prob good that they're one point connection. But their location would be better if they were 4 - 6in back from the ends
