My splicing attempts

[Joe Newton]

8mm AP splice. Eyes are a touch uneven and it's a bit stiff after the eyes. I'll see how it works.

Looks rubbish mate. Better give me the rest of that AP!

 

I taught myself how to splice 3 strand. Not for any real reason, just because I was annoyed that I couldn't do it. I now have loads of 3 strand knocking about. Wife less than impressed

Now that's a really useful skill you have there!

 

I want to order a roll of the green stuff from somewhere. Any idea where is cheapest?

Nice, usefull for stuff thats going to get abused aswell.

 

Joe look on ebay, there is a place in the north east sells all sizes and lengths. Something like North East Rope Services.

Haaaaaa! That's exactly the same as me, annoyed I couldn't do it. So I made a 3 strand whoopie! I'm not expecting wonders from it tbh but only cost me £4.50:thumbup:

Things were going really well on this used sirius lanyard until I forgot to put the snap hook on before the bury:blushing: worst part is I only realised when I was running it home. Lesson learned (hopefully)

Why the thimble?

[Jake Andrews]

Not sure really Steve, I I work with a guy who has one and he likes it so I thought id give it a try. Had it for 3 months now and I can take it or leave it for me, not great but equally not bad, something of nothing really. I put it on the splice as I'm still practising and wanted to try and put a thimble on a splice. Next will just be a tight eye on the snap gate.......if I remember

Arbormaster 16 strand splice for Jammydog on here.

 

Not sure if I prefer 16 strand to double braid.

 

Stabbed my finger on welding wire, so now it's red, white and blue.

The most difficult splice I performed was on a the tail of my (used) arbormaster 16 strand. It was painful and frustrating and I swore to never splice used rope again, not sure if double braid would be as bad when lightly used.
