We need to get a bit nautical and create monkey's fist knots instead  
of using toggles. I did this for the painter on one of my kayaks. It  
feels good in my hand when walking my boat through the shallows.  
Maybe I will feel inspired today to buy some rope and create a bunch  
to replace all my toggles.

I used a coat hanger jig like in this animation: http://
