Tom Cook

Ta for that. I did a few double braid and this 16 strand. Going to get it tested for strength. Hope to get it done in next two weeks.

 

Silky knocked a few strands of 4 meter from my eye splice. I cut it off below and did a practice splice. Might re splice after test and keep it for prosperity. I stitched and whipped near eye. Love doing the whipping.

 

Knitting and sewing for men..

 

Ta for the tips.

 

Take care.

Niiiice where can you get tested co this is wot I really wanna do is see the exact strengths of my splices.

Yeah the whipping is great nice finish off innit.

And a few more that I've done these where some of my first ones practised on the easy stuff first

View from a baby sequoia

Nice one so just a practice one then or is it usable for anything?

That's a lot of whipping aswell just making sure eh:p that low bit is very neat mate n I bet that bit closest to the eye werent easy either

Done a few other things like sorting out the exhaust that got absolutely destroyed by a rock!!

A bit of progress on my landy been doing little bits my favourite being the new seats:D

I would say your hands are sore. Did my first XTC last night. Hands still sore..

It weren't too bad once you get the hang of it you find ways of making it easier for yourself n friction cord is easy anyway best stuff to learn on:)

Although I did get the sore hands again the other day doing some Yale blaze not a nice rope to splice at all!!

Urm dunno mate we just use electrical tape marker pen n then shrink wrap seems to work alrite ish nothing proper waterproof unless u get one of those printer things n then shrink wrap I guess

Nice work bro,

whats the plastic your marking with? I want to buy sheets to print my own labels, Just not sure what polymer it is.

 

I tend to splice with a beer to hand helps keep you splicing longer!

 

On again nice work, enjoy the stitching

Cheers urmm I think it's just the shrink wrap that u can get from fr jones or honey bros

Yeah it is the best way to do it:)

Nice work Tom, bet your hands are sore!

 

Drew reckons wrapping them round a cold beer is the cure!

Cheers yeah not as bad I thought they would be yeah wrapped round a guiness at the moment seems to be doing the trick!!

nice tom, lots of practice eah! lol

 

we aint done yet! lol

 

thanks for doing me new armor this week. your a good lad.

Haha yeah plenty of practise!!

Yh plenty of ropes and pulley savers n all that:)

No probs shuts u up about my wonderful beeline hehe lol:p

Just got a new set of kit so been splicing away at my hearts content just got tons of stitching to do now:/

I was a disaster area at the start. Breaking stuff on a regular basis.

Aaahh thank goodness I'm not the only one:)

It does not need anything else.

U ain't seen the inside lol it looks like they've let a dog the with appetite for leather and seat foam loose in there lol:001_tt2: but I know what you mean it's gonna stay pretty much standard other than a winch pretty much:sneaky2:

My new Landy collected it yesterday and got lots planned just need to magic up the money to do all the things I want

It's a 1985 landrover 90 it's got disco 200tdi engine and that's pretty much it:biggrin:

I can see someone regretting that!

Ask tony:sneaky2:

I bet your a joy to work with

Hahaha what do you mean?

This is how the chippers get put away at work. Unfortunately in the video you can't see the nice steep hill with houses and cars at the bottom of it that would definitely lose against the chipper.

It's great working with tony, I think some the names are starting to sink in:s trying to make the most of my 3 month common name allowance:p

I spliced with Sirius onto pintos without much trouble might jus be fluke:001_tt2:

This one was one very hungry cedar

Haha na I've got my trusty safety glasses on work ten times better than any visor:D

Good Stuff. Remember the files though lol!

haha yh it was typical it wasnt my own saw so the person who it belongs to seemed to have been goin at some concrete with it lol:001_tt2: the chain was wrecked there was even damage to the top of the cutter:confused1:

Nice. Like the top of the euc comming out.

Agreed.

 

Loved the head coming over.

Haha yh thought i would add a bit of slow mo for dramatic affect ;p

Cheers yh I quite enjoyed editing it windows movie maker is brilliant much better than I thought:)

Was bit of a shame I didnt get the fell as well but there's always next time

Did this eucalyptus the other day, being a rookie at the filming business i forgot to film the fell oh well:001_tongue: and my saw needed a sharpen but didnt have any files:confused1:

I havent tried it with the little red krab yet at first I jus had a loop of the rope with some shrinktubing on it but change it because couldnt get the loop small enough to stop the eye passing through it so Im thinking either a small cambium saver ring or maillion

Schwabisch self tends quite well and tends to lock off nicely even if its nice and loose I usually use 8mm Armor Prus with it and it works nicely

Theres no need to rush the assessors are just lookin to see if your safe and confident in knowing what your doing dnt matter how fast you can get around the tree if not doing it safely then there not gonna be happy, speed comes with practice and experience:) and as everyone else has said keep your kit nice and tidy assessors love it and it will make your climbing so much easier
