Show off them splices

[Brocky]

New England Ropes, also check out Samson and Yale splicing instructions and videos. The video you posted wasn’t very thorough and gave the impression that dyneema only needs one fid length of bury, not the case with that extremely slippery material.

Used what I learned on the loop sling to make an ultra sling. Finished with a twelve inch bury, whip lock, and cut the end and fused it. The tape is color coding for the crew.

Thanks. I started with the loop so I could figure out techniques and get some feedback before tackling the ultra sling. Next project is the ultra sling with a captive x-ring.

Very nice! Check out Elevation Canada for rings. Best price I’ve found and they’re every bit as good as the others.

Did you end up trying the Wizard line from Braids ans Lace? If so, how do you like it?

 

[Jonny]

I haven’t tried it yet, I got too much Xstatic and HTP to wear out now, but man it’s hard to ignore those specs and that price.

So I had 2 end pieces from broken throw lines and some time so I did a straight bury and lock stitched them together. I know the bury is only 2.5" but that's ~20x the rope diameter and it's only throw line, it should hold up a little right? Which end of the line should I throw and which should I tie to the bag?

 

[SeanRuel]

It works better if you bury both ends into each other. Then no weird nubby end

 

[SeanRuel]

Also, make the splice much longer, with more taper. That'll make it flex better

My next project completed: xring ultra sling in 5/8 tenex-tech.

Thanks Swing. A little lock stitching and it should be GTG.

Looks good rico. I've found a little trick when pulling the core through for the final bury of the core. Taper the last 2-3 inches of core and put that part through the wire fid so that it becomes about the same diameter as the full sized core. Then be careful as you begin to pull it into the cover so that the shorter strands in the core dont roll back. One good pull and it pops right through.

I have been working in some big burnt up Reds and Firs for the last couple weeks and it is tearing the shit out of my fliplines and my saws.....Maintanance day around here working on saws and splicing up a few new flip-lines. A 10 footer and a 20 footer..

Its 5/8" Samson's Pro-Master which has a softer hand than the hard lay Tree-Master. The Pro-Master is simply the best flip-line rope I have ever used.
