You guys do great work. I'd like to get started with splicing these things. Our long winters would be perfect for a hobby like this.

So i have been trying to do up a tachyon -lava-fs,yea,its used a little,and its also not the newest.
I now realize I should have lubed er up,i also realized I buried the core tail a full fid instead of a long fid length(my bad lol)this is my 3rd attempt and my most successful. Question is, do you think it's possible to drive it home at this point or should i scrap it and try again?

Massage and flex and bend and twist that throat then saddle up and bury it with body weight.

Maybe its the camera angle but the rope looks funky down by the head of the hammer. If done right its doable, but you're really gonna work for it. Like really, really, really work for it.

looks like a long way to go if you are already stuck. I'd cut it off and start over, triple check the directions as you are doing the splice. Lube it up before you even start!
Ya like i said,i got the extra core tail bury on accident and the extra length I buried is exactly how much eye i have left to bury lol,i dont necessarily need to climb on it i just want to see it bury!(the tapers nice,its all straight,just stiff as all hell)
Think im gonna hit it w/ the comealong and cut it off ,since i know what i did wrong and what can be done to make it a little less resistive,i dont know if i will even give it another shot hell,from what i read its the bitch to splice

Do you use a prusik to milk the cover? I've only done it a couple of times, but I've left a tight splice in a hot car for a day and it seemed to bury easier after that.

Not sure if this will work, but it's a link to my first Safari eye splice.....

Not too bad, kinda like a couple wrinkles on the inside of the eye.....didn't know if that was "normal" or not.
I really like your rope,thats nice. ^
I do use prusik occasionally,usually only when i have a few fresh blisters,i cut that sob off though lol,i know what needs to be done to achieve this,now i lack motivation,i was swearing that id never try it again as i was doing it but... I know ill give it another go,getting the core tail buried should also be easier since i dont need to go so damn far w/ it.
