Good point there.

I made one from stainless, but i bet copper might work. Carbon definitely would

You can make them out of pipe too. Even cheaper

Try doing a constrictor knot with twine and then the tape, it'll hold the twist very securely so it won't hockle. When you do a tuck pull it very tight while twisting the strand, that will make all of the fibers assume their proper position in the splice. Do your tucks, then cut off the...

I would say it ruins it, the splice isn't pulled tight, isn't dressed correctly, and will force the strands to unlay as it's loaded. You have to get the twist and tension right. The fact that you are asking if the strength has been compromised implies that you are considering using it for...

I have no idea how you did that, but i think it's safe to say that one isn't good. The rope should seamlessly transform into a splice, maintaining the twist and tension of the straight rope. 5 tucks are needed on synthetic too, i can't see how many you did there.

I think I've mentioned it before, a 20 invested in some natural cordage 3 strand that you can practice splices, back braids, whippings, etc is really really worth it. John, you would especially enjoy it because you like making stuff. Toggles, the Matthew walker knot, the manrope knot, the chain...

I'm still cant visualize it....

Pics?
