Whoopie sling
Sat at home today so had time to make a sling with the rope I have had sat around waiting for such a day, got to finish the whipping yet though.
Here's a video of how to make one by Nick Araya. How To Splice a Whoopie Sling With Yalex | Craft Businesses | Howcast.com |

Re: Whoopie sling
Thank's Hadders, It's so simple to splice, I have over 20ft of that rope left if anybody wants one?

Re: Whoopie sling
I wish I could splice.
How much would you want for one? Also loler?....I'm of a mind to just use the date you splice it as the manufacture and go from there like norm.

Re: Whoopie sling
is that the 22mm stuff you got a while ago mate? You'd have to drop some serious lumps to break that stuff!! Haha.
Knock some loopies up mate there even easier aNd slightly more versatile. |
