Thanks again Nick.

Nice looking splices.

That ruler made me chuckle, I'm still wondering under what circumstances someone over the drink drive limit would need a ruler, and then be reminded not to drive. Maybe they were lining up all the empties and measuring how far they stretch?

 

[NHlocal]

Thanks.

That ruler makes me smile mostly 'cause I don't drink(alcohol that is).

 

[bonner1040]

30 minutes!

Its a mega-illegal, super light weight friction saver!

Awesome job Nick! I believe you left feedback on Treestuff saying that you can use a double fisherman's on the rigging rings as well. Do you have pics of that as well?

It gets so tight you have to cut it off, but I have loaded the hell out of a few mocked up things just like whats in the picture. While it doesnt look awesome, there were no performance issues

It works for you and will work for me. I have some rigging line that I purchased from Army Surplus years ago just taking up space in the garage. The company is Atwood and the rope is 5/8. I was thinking of buying some rings and doing just what you did since I am always rigging in tight places. I have one CMI block so these rings would be a great addition to my rigging gear. Thanks, Nick!

5/8 double braid is super easy to splice. I can send you some wire with the package and you can make up a wire fid and thats all you need. (I have 150 something feet left, got it for $10 vs $12/wire fid!)

 

[bonner1040]

5/8" line might cover the XRR to much. Maybe not? If you wanted I would splice that stuff for you too if you mailed it to me.

 

[ClimbMIT]

I pretty sure it's 16 strand. I have kinda abused the rope really definitely not worth splicing. I have some Husky 9/16" that I could play with splicing. I will give that wire fid a try if you have some to spare.

 

[ClimbMIT]

Oh yeh 150' left! Lol

 

[NHlocal]

Nick, I know I said it before but, that wire makes awesome fids!!!

 

[rangerdanger]

After being crazy busy with work I'm back into doing a lot of splicing! Did all these over the past few days, plus 4 or 5 others not pictured.

 

[NHlocal]

Yes sir, you been busy splicin'! Nice lookin' work.
Surgery tomorrow, I won't be doin' too much for "a while".
Thanks again for directing me to instructions for that 11mm 16 strand.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Any help on what I need to do for whip/lockstich?

 

[pantheraba]

You have got those macro pictures HAPPENING! Good shots.

 

[NHlocal]

Me likes a good clear picture.....
No "hiding" anything that way.
