stitching advice

[marcus_arb]

just wondering if anyone can give some advice on stitching rope,

I want to make a rope guide, and want to 'grizzly' splice one piece of 10mm prussic cord together to make the eye, (don't worry the stitching won't be load bearing).

Will put some pics up once I've made it just need to know how to get it started

cheers:001_smile:

Sail makers needle and some whipping twine, do a running stitch and bury the ends in the rope.

Just out of curiosity Marcus, why a Grizzly stitched splice, instead of a conventional?

 

I'm sure one of the Kiwi lads will be along later this evening to tell you how anyway.

 

Rough as guts, they are....

Sorry Peter, thought you were English....

thanks, got the needles and twine but kinda wanted more info on how to do the actual stitching e.g. burying the ends

Hi Mark, hopefully this pic will explain,

 

I'm going to stitch the two touching legs together leaving the eye then tying my prusic and pulley round the two legs.

so it'll work more like a pulley saver than a rope guide.

Just do what i would do and use electrical tape simples

Gotcha.

 

Put a pic up when you've done it mate.

 

Beyond the curve, mind.
