    Just came across this method, I think it was developed by an employee of the Wall Rope Company.

    Hitch Runner? What is this sorcery??

    For the hitch, you can go back in time to the single eye split tails. The Knut H works good, self hand tends on its own, and a few others. The green cord is a loop, makes tying the Knut H easier.

    https://www.practical-sailor.com/sails-rigging-deckgear/stitching-instead-of-splicing This method seems to get stronger results than trying to copy machine stitching.

    New CMI Pulley

    Another plus for me is it’s not Notch green!

    New CMI Pulley

    I like the lack of a bolt and nut, or spun rivets sticking out on the sides.

    Evo’s link says the 5000 lbs is the splice break strength, a loss of 20% for the reduced diameter splice?

    Attaching a snap shackle to a spliced eye

    It appears the fibers are coated while being formed into strands, they stick together when trying to separate the strands. There is very little twist in the strands, the NER is 3mm, the Ocean is a little bigger, closer to a 4 mm.

    Propping a tree?

    Maybe install a rope from the top to the bottom, like stringing a bow?

    Attaching a snap shackle to a spliced eye

    New England Ropes and Robline’s make a version of 3mm dyneema with a break strength of a little over 5000 lbs. that could be inserted in the end of the the rope, with a separate eye cover, or using the double braid’s. I tried it once with RING, shown above, but removed it and did a double braid...

    The splice seems to be similar to the discontinued Slaice, but maybe relies on a longer bury of the dyneema, instead of the stitches.

    New multicender? AC SULU GO

    I attach it to the rope, weight, or pull down on the rope, and then release it, most ropes it slides down by itself.

    Hey guys Czech this out

    Just the very few who weren’t on their phones. I would have cut them off if using a chain saw, you showed a lot of skill.

    Hey guys Czech this out

    Hand saw on that small stuff would be easier and quicker.

    New multicender? AC SULU GO

    It was sluggish on a 10mm Mammut semi-static, it has a somewhat bumpy cover, and not real firm. KM III max was much better, firm, with a smooth cover. It doesn’t want to slide on Technora, even on a 6mm.

    Yes, that’s a 3mm core in a Hollowblock2 loop I cut the stitched section off, makes for a nice thick cover. The overlapping tapers were started about an inch from the eyes, with each tapered bury ending at the one inch mark to keep the “core” a consistent diameter. This method would break at...

    Another option is to just use the cover, full length bury between the eyes with gradual tapers

    Most parallel strand splices would make long, stiff legs. Could take strands out and replace with a dyneema, or Vectran hollow braid core, Samson’s Tuck Bury splice makes it easy to do covered eye hitch cords. Can also use a stopper knot in back, gives shortest legs, and acts as a tender. Black...

    Fid Size vs Rope Size

    The cover and core are probably 50/50 of the diameter, a 5/16”, or 8mm tubular fid should work, use the smallest one possible as long as the core or cover, separately, can be stuffed inside the fid.

    Show off them splices

    The creamy yellow cord is Sterling’s 6.8mm RIT 900, a single braid that flattens to be more like webbing. I’ve used locked brummels before, but the Kevlar-like, Twaron has a dubious past when used as a hitch cord. Adding a 3mm dyneema core turns it into the cover instead, still works very...
