I’ve been finding these sheets of a ceramic like material at the bottom of our log burner. My missus puts chicken carcasses in when I’m not watching but nothing else odd.

Is that SWL, WLL or MBS?

You mean the ex offender?

Not true, different manufacturers use completely different techniques, varying from the traditional double braid splice, Tachyon's "splife" and previously used "slaice". Cousin have their own patented double braid splice as do Courant. Let's not get into the shitshow that is Marlow. It's not a "one size fits all" technique.

I asked Nod a lot of years ago and that was the answer I got. If the spice gets shock loaded there may be a small chance it disrupts the bury and throat of the splice. At least with a bit more material in the eye, there will be a small amount of stretch before the bury takes the hit. Don’t get me wrong, I used to prefer a tight splice to hold the krab in place but after a discussion with people far more knowledgable than I that is how it was explained.

Sorry. Missed that. So more rope to absorb shock. Is it just the amount in the eye itself or does longer/shorter in the eye transmit force through the bury somehow differently? And how sure are you it makes a big difference? There’s being broadly aware of the notion and then there’s, “Every splicing manual and other source of industry knowledge I’ve ever encountered has gone out of its way to say it.”

Morning all, Dry and semi sunny at present. Lazing about at our friends, completed all tasks yesterday. Home this afternoon. Have a good Sunday

See previous answer.

…

What’s the answer then, Rich? Why do rigging lines have bigger eyes?

Unidirectional ones?

Was a very were few days and I've not seen this bit of Shepshed flooded so bad! Wonder if my garage flooded again - will find out later! At Retford so standard chores and a few we meant to do but was wet each weekend! Enjoy your day! Fillip, Bean, know.

I use multiple pulleys in winching scenarios more than I do in rigging.

Trip out into Oslo today. Needed to get some new snowboard boots so decided to get the ferry into the city and take the dog for a bit of a training trip. She was pretty good and chilled for the most part.

Doesn’t really matter the size mate. It is just a different measurement for the eye size when you are marking g and preparing the rope. The technique is pretty much identical.

Good morning It's not raining! Going to spend the day splitting, hopefully get rid of my winter paunch. Take care 5th. I had 14 metal pins through my leg like that on purpose mind. Tingly doesn't quite describe it. Have a super Sunday. More Rugby later!

Well, that doesn’t surprise me at all that you don’t believe what the industry has learned over god Know how many years. We should all bow down to your superior knowledge on this subject you have gained from 5 minutes of experience, A couple of inches would be for a small spice. A eye in a rigging line could be 9 inches that would mean at least 18” and some to form the loop and burry.

Topping saws? Completed it mate.

Morning all. Day off, gratefully received. Stayed the night in reekie on Friday night to help with a homer yesterday. Was an easy half day pruning fruit trees and a couple of small fells in good company. Nice to wake up at home with a quiet day to come though. Have a good one folks.

The ground is desperate, can hardly walk around here. What river are you on Stubby?
