retriever for hunting dog
i take a heavy piece of canvas and wrap up a clothesline rope wrapped in shrink wrap plastic which i roll up...real tight then i sew it on the seam and on the ends.... you can really wing it out there and it'll last forever.
in spring i'm gonna make a 150 foot long dog run out of 30 pound test.

I have a Jetta that has a distributor cap on it that is a pain to get latched back on. Whenever I check or replace it I use 40lb test to pull up on the spring clamp that I cannot get to with a screwdriver or other tool - works pretty good.
Have been using it for picture frames too...

I hang christmas wreaths with it too.
Recently the handle fell off the lint screen on the clothes dryer. I replaced the handle with a monofilament leader.

Holding up my 3 year-old's pants when I forgot to put a belt on him. My wife wasn't nearly as upset as she was when I used duct tape for the same purpose.

I use wire line to MacGyver tons of stuff, most recently to clamp down the plate that covers my catalitic converter.
Power pro and a 'J' hook was used to hang the wreath on the door this year.

Used it to stablize a wreath that was blowing around.
Shoelaces.
Found uses for tying up shrubs and plants with it.
Didn't work so well, but once I used it in an old wooden tennis racket that had some broken strings.
Most important use-I have a couple of those red frames wound with cod line I got at Riverview about 40 years ago when they were in W.Dennis. I use them to sniff, because of that intoxicating smell they have.
