first double braid splice

[mtt.tr]

This is my first attempt at a class 1 splice on tachyon

 

was a nice once I had my head around the new england instructions. Was made hard by being used rope.

Nice Job. well done.

looks good.

 

I'm going to try and put an eye in my tachyon, just wondering what size fid did you use? The friend I'm lending the stuff only has a 1/2 inch, which is way to big. so need to get another one.

 

thanks for your time,

I only use a selfmade wirefid which is working for almost all sizes of rope exept smaller then 6mm

Used rope is always harder to splice.

 

Not bad for a first attempt. One point though is the cover looks like it needs milking away from the eye to try and even out the strands. Obviously they aren't goin to look exactly the same as the rest of the rope as there is 2 times the amount in there.

 

If you look at the picture above and compare to this one you may notice the different. Practice makes perfect.

Yer you are correct and on fids I use 1.5 mm welding Rod. Buy it in big bundles just bend a length in half. Keep it simple band cheap.

Wash your hands next time;)

 

New rope is easier.

 

Easier to get a nice tight eye.

Was used rope. wasn't to fussy.

Done, I think!

 

Feedback welcome.

 

I had to cut 2 attempts off, took about 2 hours for my 3rd attempt, using a wire coat hanger and an hour to whip, need to get the proper needle for next time.

 

Thanks to all for helping and all the quality info on here to guide me through.
