Cheers Rich,you still got the splicing bug or are your hands finally shredded:biggrin:

tried one more on the edelrid pieces but i had to stop, just couldn't pull the fid through or the core...

 

ended up cutting the whole bloody mess out . just been whipping them but got a large hawthorn in my thumb knuckle yesterday. so giving it a bit of a rest.

 

plus i need one of them palm jobbies.

Sail makers palm there called mate.

 

Its amazing what your fid can get caught on. If you catch just a couple of strands it'll stop your fid dead!!

 

Splicing with a thorne in your hand!! Now thats commitment:001_tongue:

Im very keen to have a go at this after reading all of these posts. Got a 6m length of xtc16 spearmint that I plan to try and put a splice in? So piano wire fid? ....but how long should I make it?

 

Should it be a class 1 splice? like so.. http://www.samsonrope.com/site_files/16S_C1_EyeSpl.pdf

 

Also have an xtx12 hollowbraid. Would this splice be right?

Its a lovely rope to splice too.

 

I agree, lovely rope to splice and even better to climb on!

Friction saver, looks nice but the cross over got slightly caught causing a small lumpy section, I may redo it.
