How's the splice today?

[Tim_B.]

I built the 10' sling this morning, came out pretty good. I put a bigger eye on this one.....

Randy, beautiful work. Is that cordage AmSteel or something different? Thanks.

Is that yew?

 

[Tommy_B]

Yes it is Stig. I'll see if I can get some better pictures if you like

As a woodturner I've always been envious of the size of yews in England

I've been dealing with a small rope retailer/distributor for a little while now, and I've started to get some splicing jobs, non-life support, from him. This one was some random 5/8 inch nylon double braid he wanted a 6 inch eye on. This particular manufacturer (I have no idea who) has a fairly large braided core, which they fold over.

Killing some time before the start of the day
Just an eye on a short climb line.

"Just an eye"? Nope...work of art...a good eye splice is a work of art to me. That is an admirable skill.

I am getting better this one only took fifteen minutes. Thank you!

 

[NHlocal]

Very nice taper.

Come winter, I usually go on a spending spree to fix my winter depression...luckily this year I haven't spent jack, except 120' of 3/8" Tenex.

I had wanted some slings to hang a pulley, and fig 8 on my saddle for self lowering. I had some webbing but they aren't adjustable. I had some 1/2" Loopies but they were way to bulky, so these 3/8" ones were born. According to Nick and Sherrill catalog, should have a 1k WLL.

I am making 11 of them for the price of 1 from Sherrill.

EASIEST SPLICE TO DO
LOVE MAKING THEM
Compared to a 16 strand I did today my hands are killing me, and it was a used rope

 

[climbernz]

wow thats very fast , nice work flush cut :thumb up:
man that 16 strand looks old mate , bet your hands are feeling it .

 

[flushcut]

Splicing used lines is rough on the hands.

 

[rangerdanger]

Nice job on that tight eye!

16 strand looks good. Used ropes are killer

Here is my first splice. I would be appreciative of any criticism if it looks deficient in any way.

Sweet!
