Could someone (Adam?) go into a bit more detail about rigging the cabling in an elevator? For example, what type of cable is best, how do you deal with tensioning and stretching, and how do you tie it off the best? What are good ways to attach the cable to the drum, how do you keep it from getting tangled, and what are good ways to do pulleys?

I'm also not 100% clear on how to do the Constant Force Springs. What's the best way to mount a CFS, and what are some of the better suppliers for CFSes? Also, I've had mentors try to dissuade me from using a CFS because it's basically a razor blade under 40 lbs of tension. Are CFSes safe to use, and what's some advice about setting them up safely?
