Splicing Training?

[Mike Hill]

I was wondering if there are any splicing workshops run in the UK?I'd like to be able to put eyes in the end of ropes and make Cambium savers etc.

Or if anyone can do this,I'll teach them how to eye splice and join wire cable as a skill swap.

i was looking for the same during my training, best i could find was on the internet, it wasnt very helpfull, so would still like proper training, all i can do at the moment its a back splice and ring splice

Sorry to keep you waiting with a reply folks. The thread had completely slipped by me Steve kindly let me know yesterday.

 

Basically, I've been running a splicing workshop on & off for about 3 years now. When enough people show an interest I put a workshop together & it seems that there are plenty of folks keen to learn. At the end of the day all attendees will have the basic skill & information to progress through a 16 strand splice unaided. Like everything it then takes awhile to gain the fine tuning to create a real good finish.

 

Workshops are either 8 or 12 attendees, with 12 there will be a second instructor,just to maintain enough personal time to get everyone through the day happily. Everyone goes away with a complete splicing kit ready to get stuck in the following morning!.

 

Anyhow, if you'd like to discuss further them please PM me as I'm not keen to blag forum space in this way; but Steve did say it was okay!

Cheers

PS I'm planning on a workshop in early December (sorry for the delay Carl) & if demand is sufficient another at the end of January.
