Now you have to break test it to make sure you did it right, then do four more and break them so you know you're consistent, and then you can work on the one you're gonna use :^P

I rather like the exposed nails. They can be a problem as sock catchers, but I like the way it looks. I also prefer well aged floors. The wear and dirt infused grain give it more character.

What surface did you photograph on Eric? The wood and nails are interesting.

I'll put it here so it's easy to find. Twine size conversion to imperial and metric...

It would be tedious, but perhaps you could take a piece of throwline apart and rebraid it with fewer strands.

Is it like throwline? Zingit and dynaglide are dyneema. I could send you some if it'll work.

Looks like RIT

Photos are always really nice too. I especially like the lighting(processing?) he uses. Very warm colors. It's exactly the way I like things to look; like it's lighted by candles.

Do you make dog leashes? It would be a decent etsy gig. Use used ropes, and talk it up as an enviro thing in the description. Sell deluxe spliced leashes. Could also target small indie dog/pet stores. It's not a get rich thing I don't think, but you could make a few bucks making those sweet...

What am I seeing there? Is it a break test chart? What do the numbers represent?

Pretty whipping.

Milking? I think it's the nature of doublebraid rope. Dunno what the ramifications would be of trying to stitch the cover to the core.

Pretty!

Nice splice. Nice picture too. That would look good hanging on the wall, or maybe part of a rope coffee table book.

I thought wax, but that'll hold onto dirt. Best I could come up with was household paint. Shouldn't hurt the fibers, and should stick enough to keep things together, but probably messy to apply, and I dunno how durable it would be. I have clothes with paint spots that got on them years ago, but...

How is that to splice? PITA due to size?

Not qualified to comment on the splice technique, but it looks nice.

Ultra

A constrictor should hold the paracord in place. It generally won't move til you cut it off. You can remove the core yarns to make it trimmer, but there will be a bump left, even with the flat sheath.

How about covering it? Some electric tape, or a couple double constrictors with paracord. Or get fancy, and use the plastic cover they use for sewn splices.
