    How's the splice today?

    Wespur, treestuff, sherril all offer spliced double braids and im pretty sure 16 strand too. I am an amateur splicer myself All of the splices broke above 4000lbs and even the one in the six k range still had good amount of movement during the whole pull. One thing i did notice that, the...

    @Tommy_B is that orange one a 16 strand? Ooo is that an adjustable friction saver? Me likey! @Brocky well samson's double braid instructions say to finish splice with with a lock stitching. I have been watching yoyoMans aka richard Mumford's youtube channel and all of the double braids he has...

    How's the splice today?

    Just a little whipping, i am reluctant to do lock stiching because ever break video where they break ropes there is so much movement in the eye that i dont want to interfere with any fibers in the splice since that is where the rope will break. In my opinion i think lock stitching is a big...

    How's the splice today?

    I forget what these things are called but they are great tools when extracting the core out of the cover. I use them the exact way shown in samson double braid video how they extract the core. I just find the little hook on them grabs the core great and they are dull on the ends so that they...

    How's the splice today?

    this is a good tip if the crossover is being stubborn. this probably wont happen with stable braid but for some one down the line splicing a climbing line double braid this might help in the video he splices ocean poly in a 28 inch i2i...

    How's the splice today?

    i think this guy has a great tip about marking the cover instead of using marker to mark the cover of the rope. plus he has some other great videos on splicing, if your a splicing pro it wont be anything new. but sill check out the first couple of minutes to see how he marks his cover that is...

    How's the splice today?

    Yeah i wasnt fond of how they finished with the cover. I will have to simmer on all the double rope splice instructions and come up with a frankenstein splice. :D I got to use my newly spliced stable braid today. It worked fantastic! I used one side to butt tie and the othe side of the rope to...

    How's the splice today?

    One thing i did do differently on the second splice was the taper on the cover and core. I followed their directions and then on top of theirs i than uweaved 3 to 4 inches from the end and cut at a diagonal. I noticed on my first splice that it was a little bumpy and that made it all better...

    How's the splice today?

    I was wondering if anyone has spliced 12 strand hollow braid like this. What i did was made a whoopie splice how the cord runs inside itself and then the tail got tucked after i had made the eye. With the tail tuck i went down a couple of picks before tucking i didnt think i could fit it in the...

    In the first picture, This is an end of my newest piece of hitch cord. I put a eye on one end and seizing method 2 in samsons terms on the other. I did not measure out the lenght the old fashion way. i tied a friction hitch extremely longer than practical and then tied an anchor knot and gave...
