How's the splice today?

[Jonny]

That was easy and I’m happy with how it looks
Probably has more in common with weaving than splicing, but probably a good way to start.
Still gotta put it to work before I say it was a success.

How long did it take Jonny?

 

[Jonny]

Less than 2 hours and I wasn’t really hurrying and had to go back and re-do a couple brummels that weren’t centered right.
I’m gonna try a dead eye type ring sling next, and probably another ultra without the ring to use with a block.
It was kinda fun to make and pretty satisfying looking at the finished product after.

 

[lxskllr]

That's not bad. I don't think I need anything atm, but I'm gonna keep that in mind if I need some rigging gear. It would be interesting making it myself.

 

[Marc-Antoine]

The way it relies on the brumels is disturbing for me, I don't feel that the fibers work ideally, but why not. I may have a try.

 

[flushcut]

Yes. BD=DB my dyslexia kixking in I guess.

 

[ruel]

Ultra slings are soooooo slick and nice to use. That looks great!

Spliced a footloop for chainsaw boot then a slightly smaller one for climbing boots. I think I'm one step away from splicing my shoe laces🤦‍♂️😄

After Tommy’s comment. I went through a load of FB pictures and there was lots of spliced in there.

I recon I have posted them before but I am bored so here they are. Not spliced anything in 3 years since I moved to Norway.

My favourite rope to climb on. Full fat, none CE Cougar blue. Shame I lost it somewhere.

 

[flushcut]

Some fine splicing!

 

[Tommy_B]

I'll dig through mine later. Got loads. I'll post them up. Same as you Rich, I think I've posted some of them before but will stick them up!

 

[Burnham]

You do splice some pretty pieces, Rich. Hat's off!

 

[Tommy_B]

First bunch

 

[Tommy_B]

Next lot

 

[Tommy_B]

Nearly there🤦‍♂️

 

[Tommy_B]

Some more

 

[Tommy_B]

Didn't realise there were this many

 

[Tommy_B]

Thats it! I'll stop boring you now! Haha

 

[Jonny]

Ha! Getting a little splicing in while watching the kiddo? Cute baby!

 

[biggun]

You do splice some pretty pieces, Rich. Hat's off!

Thanks Burnham.

It is something I used to enjoy doing. Pretty addictive but as I stocked up on Rope and kit before I moved to Norway, I haven’t had the need or the inclination.

I guess my rigging line should be due for replacement soon. Maybe, just maybe I’ll make my hands sore again. 😂

Nice work Tommy.

 

[Tommy_B]

Cheers Rich

Yeah Jonny, both mine love it when I splice things now. They steal all the offcuts and pretend its unicorn hair or hair for dolls! haha

 

[Tree09]

[Tommy_B]

Cheers mate👍

 

[flushcut]
