My splicing attempts

[Peter]

Yes, only the 10mm has the red cover strand.

[John Shutler]

yeah 10mm beeline, great combo with poison ivy, infact its probably my favorite cord at the moment. there has been some talk at MBs and on the buzz about the 10mm herniating but we will see. Ill be interested to see if its to stiff but ill give it a try and maybe reduce the measurements down a bit and see if it makes a difference

Finally got round to making a pinto rig loopie with some tenex tec 1/2"

 

Too easy to splice up, everyone should have one:biggrin:

Locking brummel on some left over tenex tec when I was bored after work:001_smile:

My first NE Fly splice attempt, used rope so I found it quite difficult, a few tricks were needed to finish it.

 

So ugly though, got another used Fly to splice as well.

difficult splice man

[High Scale]

I think new rope would be pretty easy John, this Fly though is well used, keeping the core neat was a real problem and that i think is the trick with Fly, I'm going to re-whip it when I get some more twine.

 

NE instructions are not that clear either.

Any time I've spliced LSK, I've ended up with an equally ugly splice too!

How did you find it?

 

I've not braved a kernmantle yet. I do like a splice to look tidy when it's done and it doesn't really seem possible with the fly.

 

On another note. Who's going to the rich hattier seminar tomorrow?

I've worked on a couple now and I don't like them much - it's interesting I suppose, but I find it hard work and at the end you've got what looks like a lop-sided eye splice!

I admit that I got better as I practiced the splice - temporarily taping groups of strands etc. - but still find it murder to include the jacket in the final bury.

I've seen Drew B's work on kernmantle and he seems to make it look easy!
