    Hey bud, here is a picture of my old Rope Runner. If you want it you can have it. I am gradually giving my stuff away to people who I think can get some use out of it. Eric

    Courant kanopa splice

    I don't buy a rope if I can't splice it. But I don't think that matters to the rope manufacturers because the number of people that splice their own is a tiny fraction of the market.

    I am not sure what you mean by "good condition", but I have one that works fine that I never use. If you and Quintanana don't do a deal, let me know. I have other early editions that I rarely or never use as well, including a Rope Wrench, Unicender, etc.

    Layout for 16-strand friction savers

    Yeah, at my advanced age I can't keep it all in my head any more. I need my cheat sheet.

    Layout for 16-strand friction savers

    Hey guys, I was making a friction saver yesterday and decided to create a simple table that shows the measurements that I use for making friction savers of different lengths in 16-strand ropes. I am also including some very abbreviated instructions for the steps that I use to make a saver. To...

    Ultra sling vs deadeye: double the strength?

    My guess is that the strength of an ultra sling would also depend on how tight you have it cinched around the spar. If it is cinched really tight then the angle of pull against the brummel is really sharp, whereas if you have it cinched very loosely then the pull is more inline and the friction...

    Splicing Tachyon

    I really didn't care about their delicate sensibilities, it was more because I found that their recommended approach was so much easier to do, especially in terms of the final bury. So, instead of telling people to do it the hard way I thought it would be better to just do it the easy way. But...

    Splicing Tachyon

    Hi fellow splicers. For years I have had an instructional video on Youtube that gave instructions for how to splice Tachyon based on the old modified double-braid method. It had lots of views and worked ok, but was a real bear to do the final bury. I realized recently that my video was...

    Components of a Self-Advancing Knee Ascender (SAKA)

    I think there is a reason that there have not been any new posts on this thread since 2018. Most of us were extremely happy to see Richard outlast the lawyers and get his unique design to market. So we quit making our inferior copies and decided to support him by buying his stuff. I have two...

    Show off them splices

    This one reminds me of the old Robin Williams monolog on how the Scots invented golf. Check it out.

    Works well for dog toys as well. Tougher than what they sell at the feed store.

    Would this be possible with a tight eye?

    Vega Eye Splice

    Maybe you are on to something. But you will have to draw me a picture. I am one of those visual guys - I do a lot better if I can see it. It looks like your brummel is actually in the eye as opposed to above the throat. So I am confused.

    Vega Eye Splice

    You are correct. Do what they show in the picture, and ignore the wording.

    Vega Eye Splice

    If you go to youtube and type "Joe Stockton Drenaline splice" it will pop up. He does the spLIFE splice on Drenaline, which differs in that it has 9 core strands whereas Vega has 8 core strands. So with Vega this means that you pull out 4 core strands at mark C instead of 5 strands with...

    Vega Eye Splice

    I have done several eye splices with Marlow Vega using the method recommended by Marlow and found them quite difficult to pull through unless you get everything perfect. So I decided to try some spLIFE splices with Vega and found them much easier to do. I had two of them tested and they broke at...

    If you can do Tachyon you can do Woodpecker.
