    Had a bit of an issue with some polydine rigging line and a ms200t yesterday. Luckily I knicked it about a foot from the splice... Phew! Lucky escape! I respliced it then did a couple of splices on some tachyon. He got me some funky green liros twine for the wipping. A bit different but it all works.

    Lovely.

    I have cut armour pruss aswell. I blame on my hands... Big hands! I use the wire fids and have snapped them. Knicked my 16mm polydine rigging line. I was proper gutted until I noticed it was 6 inches from the splice and not the other left which would have been 20 metres or so to cut off. Got home and spliced that up. Dirty and well used but a breeze compared to 8mm.

    Well done. I have spliced loads of double braid and 16 strand and tenex type ropes. Never managed to complete an 8mm friction cord splice. Apart from Marlowe, but that is loose as a loose thing. I have snapped wire finds and generally get so annoyed with it I end up cutting it out.

    I can't even find a picture of it on the whole Internet... Just been on their website requesting information and the capture token function has died.

    Fair enough
  7. Rich Rule
    I dont quite get the reasoning there. If you know you are likely to lose the work why not put in a price that of you do actually get it you may make some coin. Going in absolutely rock bottom, doesn't make sense to me. Fair price for a fair service.

    I have a cut and climb which is great. I have been looking for a link to the proclimber jacket people are raving about. Anyone got one? my web searches have come up with nada!

    Weather forecasting is an obsession for Norwegians. I had sat and compared forecasts that are real time with the BBC and yr. YR, as I stated is probably the most accurate. I used accuweather for a long time but it seemed to just go downhill. I'd check the forecast and they couldn't even get the real time weather correct let alone future forecasts.

    I use the Norwegian yr.no app on my iPhone. Found it to be the most accurate of the few I've tried.

    You would just have the two large rings at either end of the rope. The small ring on the Prussic. The CS is just used and setup as a normal CS with one small and one large ring. The ring on the other end acts as a stopper not or just use the other end from time to time to reduce wear on the Ali rings.

    I looked into this a couple of weeks ago. The 11mm is access line and the 11.7 is climbing line. However the 11.7 had significantly less elongation making it more static. Surely it would be better for work positioning whatever your flavour of SRT? Also, the 11.7 can be spliced (I think)

    Actually reading your original post again... Are they a firewood personal cutter or work for a tree surgeon or there own business? If it is the latter, I would be inclined to say to them if they are a professional user and cannot sharpen a saw they dull, then they don't deserve to use one!
  15. Rich Rule
    Do you have your own saws aswell? Just get your friend to buy you a load of files and maybe a dremmel. A touch up with the files or electric if they have kippered it. Then you can use them on your own saws. Unless it is an 88 that they repeatedly use for digging with.

    I think you missed the link mate.

    Mine have been XL. But then I like to wear a fleece under it when it is bitter.

    It is Laminated fabric, so doesn't need reproofing.

    Just on the way back from Wembley. Good game, just such a shame about the absolute tools who go to these things. It is only a game of football FFS!

    Fruity wasn't really a word used on the day. It was pretty rank though.

    Not really a tree job but myself and Mick Stockbridge, once cut up a Sperm Whale that had died and been dragged ashore for the autopsy.
