Nice work bro looks good! And yeah hows the snakeskin? looks nice, can't wait till it's available
-
It does look nice though, liking the 10mm sirius! Did he stitch the two sides of the eye to keep them together, or do you just let the 8mm sirius prussic hold the eye together?
-

Just ordered a pair from tree worker should be here in next 10 days! can't wait! TaupoTreeMan- did you get your new pair from tree tools?

Thanks interesting, 5016 lbs (pounds?) that's 2.27 tonne isn't it? Average break strength for 8mm bee line 3.6 tonne (approx) So... from the splice the rope lost just over 1 tonne, 2.27 tonne still a good break though. Its interesting breaking splices, I find usually, that the rope breaks at the bend, not necessarily from the splice pulling out... would've been interesting to watch it... guess I'll just have to wait to watch mine:001_tt2:

yes ive never really been a big fan of exposed eye's.. got a heap of bee line to splice up ill post some more pic's when there done, will also try and get a few break tested to see were they break at
-
Thanks guys, yes bee line is class one double braid. Yes it usually is spliced with locking brummel but I had nothing to dip eye's in so decided to do class one DB splice. Seems to work well. Here's a link to treetools Bee Line pre-spliced prusik

Good effort Ian, practice makes perfect! a couple splices done last night.... Armor Prus and Bee line, both 8mm

Any chance of a workshop in New Zealand ?

Ride that hook all day long mate! was more efficient and productive for both the climber and the company, recently done a load of crane work, riding the hook made it worth while Nice pics! keep up the good work ... thought I'd just put my 2 cents worth in
-
haha no where mate, another guy I work with is moving to Australia
-
might be a job going in Wellington around August also
-
no worries bro
-
Nice one bro, the AP would look good! How do you add the centre attachment/eye to the splice in the tenex? .....
-
Liking the 3 in 1 splice bro.. is it hard to do? I've made a few whoopie slings but this is ideal for srt set up
-
yeah, class 1 def the way to go, strong as!
