    Onyx bridge D’s

    Oh wow.. you weren't kidding about the corrosion! Is that cuz you live by the beach? Or possibly because all the dirt you encounter has some sort of acidity to it? However... @Gorham, It's just a little bit of aluminum surface pitting.. I'd be confident on them.. good find mate..! Does DMM...

    Onyx bridge D’s

    Speaking of which.. just for future knowledge & anyone else wondering.. what is the widest webbing those older lower D's will accept? Bigger than 1"/25mm?

    Documenting my hand-sewn eye process

    Huh.. interesting.. i haven't followed those links anywhere but do you have any pictures of the end result? Parameter stitching is the style where you just keep passing the needle through the two ends of the rope.. around & around & around.. Brocky has some posted & the latest 9.3 epicord...

    Documenting my hand-sewn eye process

    IC.. So your not using a speedy stitcher then, right? Your talking about a Sail Palm so you must be just using a bare needle.. Correct? I give ya credit trying to sew eyes without a SS.. that must be hard work.. I'm not even sure how I'd go about it with the needle hole being on the other end...

    Documenting my hand-sewn eye process

    You know.. that's how I've been doing it for a while, just in general.. tight wrap, sharp scissors & done with it.. But.. when doing these sewn eyes I've noticed how the core likes to suck back into the cover, leaving one more thing i need to plan ahead for or estimate.. So if it's possible, i...

    Documenting my hand-sewn eye process

    Thanks for the kind words.. Yes.. i do it the same but as you said my mind was not clear.. i was hanging out my sliding glass door at night with map torch in one hand & razor knife in other.. if i run the map torch inside it sets off my smoke/monoxide alarms.. even with no visible smoke.. But...

    For reference, here's that Snake Anchor stitching y'all had mentioned earlier. It's a SnakeTail, but i believe the stitching style is the same.

    Documenting my hand-sewn eye process

    Adding one to the list here.. Teufelberger Multisling... Still using C-Lon Tex 400.. hand waxed. (Note- beeswax doesn't stick all that well to it, Id like to find a colored thread like the SS thread that's real tacky & stronger) So.. umm yeah.. this is probably the third go around with this...

    Onyx bridge D’s

    Hahaha.. i was going to buy it, but i thought i was to much of a fat ass & worried my 36x34 pants size would end up being problematic in the same manner it is when i buy clothes.. Only in this scenario I thought of having to tuck layers of clothing under the saddle in the fall/winter & figured i...

    Secondary tie-in for spurring: choked split-tail climbing line -OR- running bowline -OR- ??

    So you have two steel core fliplines now? If you really want to be tied in the way you wish, maybe you should look into something like the "Treesqueeze" by BUCKINGHAM [emoji769][emoji2400][emoji2398] .... It's not overpriced i swear....lol.. You now have two steel core jobbers, why not make one...

    Onyx bridge D’s

    Althogh not as fancy looking, i also came across this recently.. 4 holes so it may be a little in the big size, but the biggest hope seems almost as if it could be somewhat similar in size to a regular D.. Yes.. the MB is different in a few ways if you really start looking at things...

    Onyx bridge D’s

    Oh.. ok.. lol.. glad i could help ya out! Lol.. i think every Japanese climber climbs with 2.. 2 of everything.. very hardware intensive climbing styles from the limited view I've seen.. i would get all sorts of jammed up trying to keep track of everything in front of me.. they definitely...

    Onyx bridge D’s

    Which plates are used? The smc plates? If i were you.. & the webbing material could fit & function correctly, I'd try to get my hands on the tree motion lower D's. Also, there's allot of other plates out there that use big open designs. I saw some really odd looking ones made by a Japanese...

    It does goes all tilty like! Son of a bitch! Drunk ass machine! I'm sending that back!!! Yes i did take note at that Reep break test.. it was odd to see it break that low, especially considering the drum was used.. Honestly though.. i get lost within all that.. very rarely do i ever see...

    Documenting my hand-sewn eye process

    Question.. what ya'll think this is, machine or hand? As far as those rings go.. i don't see why they wouldn't be as good as anything else.. It's gotta take allot of force to shear those screws off.. In fact, i wish most rings were made like this. Also.. important question here.. Anyone...

    Secondary tie-in for spurring: choked split-tail climbing line -OR- running bowline -OR- ??

    I've seen that video before.. It took me a few times to actually realize it, but the difference between the two ways being tied are compleley different methods.. In other words, you'd really have to fuck up tying it to have it come out like that.. & it's just a coincidence that they look the...

    Documenting my hand-sewn eye process

    Oh wow.. allot of posts here.. thanks for the vote of confidence.. to be honest, with a bit of insider help from you guys, I'm pretty much winging it. My concern at this point is the compression.. more so when & where.. I've read of the two schools of thought, as well as seen the results from...

    Documenting my hand-sewn eye process

    Here is the latest Ocean job.. just one eye so far.. on this one I'm trying to take advantage of sewn over Spliced & trying to see how short i can make the e2e.. i think i measured 24 or 26.. So, again.. i haven't quite mastered the art of splitting the strands & keeping things aligned.. i have...

    Best hitch cord for Sampson Vortex

    Ahhhh.. i gotchya now. Your concerned about modifying & it's integrity afterwards.. that makes sense. It's a legit concern.. i personally don't really like the VT cuz if how it's so finiky.. if it the x's are all aligned i get weird about it... But i think the alignment issues may be normal...

    Right on.. i follow.. you always got a trick up your sleeve for whatever the scenario..[emoji108] Hmm interesting.. i believe what i was using there was smaller than that C-lon Tex 400.. Actually wait.. it may be C-Lon Tex400.. i can't remember.. I bought some generic labeled stuff as well as...
