Gotcha.

 

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

 

Beyond the curve, mind.

 

We'll all be Rope-Wrenching on SRT in a couple of weeks....

 

haha hopefully will get a chance to try one soon not sure about them though definitely a try before you buy bit of kit I think, but won't knock it till I've tried it.

It's all about knitting and sewing for arbs. A womans work is never done....

How I did mine was insert the needle and thread so equal amounts of thread are either side of the rope. I then stitched on an angle down the length of rope so that only minimal amount of thread was showing on the outside. I then did the same on the leg of thread, occasionally stitching through the previous side. To finish I just tied knots in the thread and pulled tight into the rope and melted the ends off and then covered in heat shrink. That makes sense to me Marcus anyway I think I did a post called rope guides for the masses a while ago-pice might be on there, not sure.
