How fat a line will that omni block take mate? We have one a work that will take 13mm but one that would take 16mm would be nice.

Rope guide pics. Large soft eye held open by about 8cm of 8mm nitrile industrial bearing seal. It doesn't have as much memory as the bike lock version but it appears ok. We all know the truth will be in the pudding...

 

Merry Xmas.

Well other than eating,drinking and modern warfare2 ive managed to do a few more splices.

The scorch was lovely to splice and is by far the easiest 16strand ive done. Im getting alot better at the double braid now...i think:001_tongue:. Not very impressed with my bee line attempt but practice makes perfect! haha.

 

Cant wait to get back to work and start making some whoopies and loopies. Oh yeah and hopefully a new rope guide:thumbup1:.

 

If anyone else has some splices they've done then feel free to get your pics up:thumbup:

 

Alright there snake, turning my hand to splicing and would like to know if that Marlow boa friction rope in your 2nd to last picture?
