[bob]

dont talk to me about splicing pete my hands are red raw at the moment

will fire some pictures up later in the week

have been too many recently

[Peter]

You still wrestling with the blaze then?

[bob]

seem to have got blaze sorted i think done 3 compled ones and a few that got abandoned

am struggling with the cross over bury on some XTC + but to be honest my hands are too sore

tried to destroy blaze splices and a few others and every splice held good snapped on the rope or knot

[Amelanchier]

Pete. How long was the bury in the silver streak? Short enough to tie a helical? Could you make an eye to eye long/short enough for a VT? Would it be worth the effort. What colour socks am I wearing? Will I get that quote from the other day?

[Peter]

You could definately make an eye eye for a vt, with a HC the sling can have quite stiff legs.....

 

The bury is tapered to about 6 inches i suppose.

 

However I'm not confident enough in my measurements to make a short eye eye in DB and end up with the right amount of cover.

peter, what construction is the silver streak?

 

i've made quite a few saw srops out of double braid, a carabiner sized eye one end and a tight one the other end.

 

not been splicng much recently... but i have a back log of split tails i need.
