New to rope splicing

[Ian Clarke]

Hi all I am new to rope splicing and I'm interested in learning more. Are there courses running or does anybody know of good books/videos to learn. 

 

Also am I right to be able to splice commercially you have to be signed off by each manufacturer.

 

Cheers

There are a few people on here who splice.  I used to but not so much anymore.

 

If you have a iPhone there is an app by Samson for splicing.  Linked to a lot of the video content they have on YouTube.

 

There is a paper copy of it sold in a few arb suppliers.

 

Sorry, but I don’t know if it available on Android.

 

Have fun and prepare for some blisters.

To splice commercially isn't, to my knowledge, financially feasible unless you're working for a shop basically. However that's not to say it isn't a very useful skill to learn. 

 

'the splice rack' on facebook has loads of info and files you can download. There's a bit of dick waving too but there's some good info there. A lot of books and downloads reference fid lengths rather than lengths, which can be a bit confusing as you don't really need the fids they're talking about. You're better off using a wire fid. The wooden hand splicing booklet is a nice, reasonably straight forward instruction guide for double braid splices.

 

The first few will probably be a nightmare, but be meticulous and tidy with your measurements, and pretty much everything you do, and it should all come together fairly easily. A splicing course is also really helpful for picking up pointers.

 

And be precise. I can't stress enough how important that is.
