david, i'll be doing some double braids in a wee while, i could hook up and give you a run down if you like

 

That would be great:thumbup:

i will pm you

[David Goss]

Cheers for the pics Dak but i am still not sure how that will work? the one i saw on the video was a pointy tube and a part of the rope was stuffed in the thick end to push it through the rope so i dont see how your wire works??

I suppose i really need to give it a go to figure all the ins and outs.

You thread the wire fid in through the opposite end, trap the tail and pull back through.

gotcha:thumbup1:

[Dak]

cheapest way, not having to fork out for tubular fids, which on small diameter rope are pretty tough so i'm led to believe.

 

Jamie will sort you out, very knowledgeable by all accounts:thumbup1:

anyone seen a video of the 'new england' one?

 

that is new england one bro

Check out the Norson splice, does not require much equip. Don't know if it is acceptable in the Arb world but appears a strong splice.

hopefully this shows the snare function of the wire pull fid ok david

I've never seen splicing done before, but I just watched that New England vid...

That is worthy of that Dynamo dude off the TV....

 

It just looks in every way like it shouldn't work.... just brilliant....!

is that not just core dependant though????
