Attempt one was my wife's garden trowel:


Pros: good weight/ balance/ throws well
Cons:got stuck in tree. Wife unaware she is now minus one garden tool

So I got lazy and grabbed the next available thing in the garage- a clamp:



Pro's: It was sitting right there, about the right size, throws well
Cons: gets stuck in branches even worse than garden spade

Here's a picture of my morning progress (Tree 2:Ron-0):




Then the craftsman wrench "eureka" moment:



Check out the angle on the tree as the wrench dangles straight down!
String up:


Now I need to go buy some new rope- all my old stuff was getting rotten.
