fantastic carl, i am still having a go but it kills my hands :thumbdown:

 

Great job there mate.

 

Yeah the first couple of 16 strand I spliced I ripped plenty of skin off my hands, I was chatting to Nod a while back and he said he had the very same thing happen to him, If you check out the 16 strand eye splice video on the Donaghy's website you will see how to do it without the pain, namely doing the bury in stages so there is far less friction.

Chandlery, Ropes, Rigging & Safety Equipment - Jimmy Green Marine for the sail needles, sailors palm, whipping twine, Fid, wire fid I made my own at first from piano wire, I am back to using home made ones after the one that I got from Nod http://www.treeworker.co.uk/ broke,(I didn't bend it right!) Nod also got me the Brian Toss splicing wand which is a great tool Brion Toss Yacht Riggers, Sailboat Rigging.

 

A good pair of sharp scissors, marker pen and a tape measure is also useful.
