Let nothing deter you from the SPLICE! 
I would like to apologize for the confusion regarding our splicing get-together.....To clarify.....
Fids & Fibres by the Fireside IS ON!
Our schedule remains unchanged....
Folks will be arriving Thurs (24th) evening... and staying thru Sunday 27th.
Splicing class on Friday 25th and Sat 26th. I will post an agenda for Friday and Saturday.
Regrettably, Octavious has run into a scheduling snag on his end. So, we're going to be calling on the splicing skills and talents of the more experienced splicers in the group. Turns out we have some dedicated and enthusiastic splicers with a fair amount of experience.
We will cover these areas and more:
3-strand, 12-strand, 16-strand, double-braid.
Lanyards, rope tools, hitchcord, climbing lines and rigging ropes.
We will also be showing tricks for splicing throwline and making friction saver retriever tools. We will devote time to making your own wire fids, (tiny, small, med, and large). With practical tips on what tools to get for your splicing toolbox.
I'll post the agenda tomorrow... with more details.
To sign up for this year's "Fids & Fibres", Contact me.
markprz@gsinet.net or 603.529.0874
Class is limited to the first 12 participants...
We have 8 confirmed attendees..... So sign up NOW!
Can't wait to see you all and learn something from EVERYONE!
Yours in Trees,
Mark

Re: Let nothing deter you from the SPLICE!
You guys, I promise are going to have a great time and learn a whole bunch of new tricks.
I will be teaching the 3-strand eye splice and back splice as well as assisting in the teaching of the double braid eye splice.
Some people say, why do we want to know how to splice 3-strand, no one uses it anymore? Well, there are a ton of good uses for it still. Not only is it THE CLASSIC splice, but you can use it for many rigging and climbing applications.....which I will show you.
Can't wait to see everyone next week!

Re: Fids and Fiber - Class Agenda
Hey guys I just got my arborist certification and this will be the first time I claim CEUs. How does this work. Do I have to send them something before I go to the workshop? Do I need to bring something with me to the workshop? Just wondering how the process works.
Cheers,
Matt
