:tomcat:Being fighter pilots. That is what I fantasize about.

Flushcut, No they dont let us slide down the poles anymore. They said that they had too many ankle injuries, and a few guys that apparently weren't totally awake walked into the hole while going to a call. Heck were I work they wont even give us 2 story stations.

Nice save Nick! I thought this thread was going to turn bad for a min! Thanks for the advise as well. I was going to work on it today, But I ended up working on a lightning struck tree, this afternoon, and then wanted to play with the kids before I start a 48 hr shift tomorrow. What are the...

Thanks Adam, I wondered where I could get some of that, When I headed for the wife's Baby Grand with a pair or wire cutters she came uncorked!

Flushcut, I have pulled, Milked and invented words that have never been in existence , but I am not yet defeated . I am pretty sure that the eye will be too small to use when done, but now I just want to prove that I can do it. Funny how every thing I do seems to come down to the same answer---...

Rumination, If I lived by the ocean I would be fishing and nothing else!:lol: But I may be able to find a sailing shop around one of the lake here. I see where a wire fid can be easy to use, just not my wire fid. It sucks!! I have to go back to the drawing board with that for sure. I will try to...

Also, do what fids do yall use? I have looked at a bunch, not sure which ones are best, and for those of you that have done PI what size? 11.7mm is somewhere between 7/16 and 1/2, do I go up or down in size?

Marc, thanks, that helps! Adam, I wish I had thought of writting it down, but I actually had to change some stuff a few times, so I dont really know the measurements. The next one I am going to be a little more careful to measure. Flushcut, I dont know if I can get it loose enough to slip up any...

Well crap! thats the same pic! Well you get the ideal.

I think the eye is going to be too tight, but I am going to try and get it closed up anyway, I have a few more pics, but me and this computer are having a disagreement at the moment!:deadpc:

Thats exactly what I did! Look at Toss's to clarify something on the video, then back to the video.. Bad ideal for sure! I got so confused when Nick says stuff like "about an inch" or 10 maybe 15 inches, It has to nice to be that good and make it look so easy! My hat is off to him !!!

I was thinking my pickup and tie it to the barn! About 20 mph should work.:tomcat:

Ok, no dice on the pics, When the wife gets up in the morning Ill get her to do it. I am a computer moron!

Pelorus, I wish I had done some stable braid to start with, I have been at it for about 4hrs, and have been jumping between a few different sites to figure it out. Most of the written text is good, but without good pics I am lost. I finally got it close, but am going to have to finish it up...

Ok, so here are a few questions, # 1 how long is a fid length. If you watch a splicing video all measurements are done by fid length. I have a homemade fid, so I do not really know what length my measurements should be.# 2 Is Poison Ivy done with a class 1 splice? What makes it a class 1...

Ok, easy enough. Thanks! It will be tomorrow before I can start cause I am at work and they wont give us a break. Ill be back!

Ok boys and girls, I am going to try and learn how to splice some Poison Ivy. I need a tight eye splice, and no I have never done it before. So I am open to any and all insight and direction. First off, What fids ect do yall like. I dont want to break the bank, but if I can figure this out...
