Could you post a few pics?
It would be awesome learning about new pieces of pro and ways to use it.
I've mucked about with ballnuts and tricams and went so far as to buy them and try them out without having ever seen them.

It sounds like there are a heap of tricks out there to learn about placing knots.

If anybody is keen I would love to learn more about using knots as pro. If I get enough info I may try to put together a page about it.
