I've been searching high and low looking for my beloved lost Brion Toss's Book 5 on Working Splices. Sigh. I love that book.
Even worse is that it is currently out of print according to his website.

Keep looking it's gotta be around !

@ Devon: I think my Nieman Marcus double braid is snobbier than your Walmart Tenex...

We will be hosting a Fids & Fiber two days Splicing course in Mississauga in March 2017. Dates to be confirmed as Mark is a very busy guy. We will have room for 16/18 people. So if you are interested, please let me know and I can book your spot now. More details to follow in the next few days. Cheers

I'm feeling intimidated with this upcoming gig. Hoping that Mark has lotsa patience! Would like to acquire "Splicing for Dummies" if anyone has a spare copy.

Just bring that Neiman Marcus attitude and you be golden.

Don't Fret!
One of the things that makes Fids & Fibers so special... is that we won't leave anyone behind... Patience is a key component of the workshop.... and we try to pair people up with 'splicing buddies'..... so you'll have someone with more experience to sit next to.. emulate... and follow..... and I encourage everyone in the group to support everyone else..... we don't win.... till we ALL win! See you soon....

My expectations were high, but they have certainly been, and are being exceeded!
A great course, and hands-on learning opportunity.
Many thanks to Mark, Peter, and the sponsors.

That was an incredible course. Mark is an amazing instructor and he made the course just as fun as it was informative. I ended up with some great new tools that will be put to good use. His simple, straight forward instructions allow for anybody, regardless of skill level, to walk out with a sense of emmence accomplishment. If your're on the fence about taking this course, just do it. I know I'll be taking it again as soon as i can.
