    At the min i do it in one but not really played around with other methods yet. What advantage is there your way? Less friction? Ive only done yale xtc and the one marlow splice up to yet. The cross over on the marlow was a knightmare!! Shame you dint make it mate was a very good workshop.

    Hi all,i attended a 16 strand rope splicing course earlier this week with nod from tree worker. It was a very educational and enjoyable day taught by someone who really knows what there talking about:thumbup1:. Id say that anyone whos interested in the make up and construction of there ropes would really learn and get alot from attending such a course. Cant wait for the 24 strand one now:biggrin: Here's some of my attempts ive done this week.

    We run a ms 260 and a 346xp. There's not alot to choose from between the two,but personally i always choose the 260! The 260 feels a bit better built than the 346.
