How's the splice today?

[pantheraba]

Showoff!! And with good reason...excellent work.

while the whipping isnt consistent and the dipping isnt perfect, just trying more new things.

Use 3 brummells for pockets on Ultra slings!

Thanks nick, since then I actually took that apart and went a different route with it, three brummells makes sense for it now though.

 

[bonner1040]

Yep!

I would love to see some break test videos or real numbers on those ultra slings..... Got any lying around by chance? Is there a significant strength difference between 2 and 3 brummels?

Hasn't there talk about a break test on the ultra slings when they came to the market? If I remember right there was some debate about strength.

I recently purchased a Maasdam Rope Puller and 200 feet of 1/2" 3-strand rope. Today I decided to put a spliced eye in the end of the rope. It's a whole lot easier to splice the 3 strand stuff before loading it. I've tried splicing used rope that had been loaded pretty heavily and that's not much fun at all. This is new rope. Spliced like a dream.

I got these Kong snaps stupid cheap, spliced some Yale Silver Streak on to them yesterday which was surprisingly difficult.

Nice and nice!

My first attempt at making an Ultra Whoopie. It's just an Ultra sling with a very long tail spliced into a whoopie.

 

[candoarms]

I'm jealous. Nice work fellas.

Little over board on the # of tucks- by looks nice and clean!

Nick do you have another splicing class coming up? Info available?

Thanks Nick! What do you mean by going overboard with the number of tucks? I did three tucks per pocket except the last one, where I did two tucks and the tail bury. If you mean the number of pockets, I think so too. The ultra sling and whoopie are both full scale. I only had 3/4" Tenex-Tec on hand so the end result is a little unwieldy.

My bad- I was talking about candoarms three-strand splice!

I have a problem getting little bumps from my crossovers. I stitch them to make them more compact and maybe I stitch them a little unevenly? How much do you think this effects the strength? The aztec is my splice, the tachyon is ABR

 

[McGuarantee]

Another Aztec splice I did. The little crossover bump is visible in this one too.

 

[McGuarantee]

I also spliced a lanyard out of teufelberger reep schnur (or however you spell it) and have a pesky bump. I trust these splices, but am annoyed that they aren't as beautiful as they could be. Recommendations? Tips?

 

[McGuarantee]

bump

 

[flushcut]

I don't know what to tell ya maybe Nick will chime in.

 

[McGuarantee]

Cool, thanks. Yeah, I just need that crossover to lay flat without distorting the rope once buried....

 

[Raj]

Have you tried to load it up? Hang on it in your saddle and bounce? (without the whipping)

 

[McGuarantee]

I already whipped it, and it's been climbed on. It almost seems like when I stitched the crossover it created the bump. If that bump appears in the next splice I'll try that trick before I whip it. Thanks

 

[NickfromWI]

I'm sure that bump is from crossover stitching. Not doing the stitching will give a smoother crossover- but you have to be an attentive splicer and not let the crossover slip open while assembling the splice.

Don't fret that bump. Get out there and climb on it. That's a good looking splice.
