Securing the Clamps. With the clamps in position, use a wrench or pliers to tighten the screws or bolts on the clamp. Apply steady pressure to ensure a snug fit around the rope. Double-check the tightness to avoid any slippage, especially if you plan on using the rope for heavy loads.
The circumference of the rope needs to be the same size as the width of all 4 leather strips combined, in your case 1.5". Rope is usually measured in diameter, so if you use the Circumference = 2πr formula to solve for the diameter of a circle with a 1.5" circumference, you get a dimeter of .48". So a 1/2" diameter rope should work!
