Missed your post. Here's link to the thread I followed.I don’t know why I’m not getting many notices from Saddlehunter.com. Only a couple threads. Maybe everyone is hunting instead of posting. I sure am.
Can someone point me back to a thread about making a daisy chain from 1/4” Amsteel?

I used 1/4" for my predator daisy chain. I believe that's @BCHunter in the video.The guy in the video that @BigCountry posted used 7/64 Amsteel. What did you use to make yours? I was looking at 1/4” but if 7/64 will do the trick I’m all about saving money.

I had no issues and have used it all year on many different sized trees. In about 60 sits I think I have sat in 50+ different trees.
I made my daisy chain about 5.5 ft long which takes about 11 ft of amsteel. It's basically doubled upon itself the whole way including the end buries. I made the loops just big enough to fit over the post so it fits more options. Best other advice I can give is to do the multi loop end first so you only have to pull the doubled rope through once while making the single loop. I actually made the one I used this season twice from the same rope. After using it several times I felt I could make the loops smaller so I undid all the splices and started over using smaller loops. The process is pretty simple.
I used a FID but I think you could do it just as well by pushing a taper tool thru the middle of the rope to spread it open and using tape to make a point on the ends of the amsteel like BCHunter did.Do I need a FID or any other tools to make the daisy chain?

I didn't measure, I just did it by eye but I would estimate the loops are 1.25 to 1.5 inches in length on average. The post on my predator is 1" in diameter.How close to the end of one chain link is the beginning of the next?

The FID I used on 1/4" my was a 3/8" FID. Amsteel spreads really easy so a larger FID will work. In fact I think I used that same 3/8 FID to daisy chain some 1/8" amsteel I use as my gear hanger.I’m looking at FIDs on Amazon and I don’t see any for 7/64 size.

Just make the feed thru's as close to the last exit as possible when making the brummel splices. When the splice is pulled tight is will control the space between the loops.So there doesn’t have to be a specific amount of rope between loops?
