Where did you find these instructions, if you don't mind me asking?

Ha honestly I can't find them anymore. I think teufelberger advises the splife instructions. It looks way better tbh.

I'm on my phone, the pdf might be on my computer though...

 

[Brocky]

New England Ropes Heavy Duty Kernmantel Splice is what you want to search.

 

[flyingmosstreen]

Yup. What @Brocky said. There is a link for a PDF through gappower.com website if you search those terms. That is exactly what I used.

The fact that the cover doesn't bury is a bit weird but the end result looks good.

I think the splife is the up to date preferred method now.

Double eyes in Camp’s 5.5mm Kevlar core cordino, and NER’s Tech cord, was able to get 8 of the 12 strands buried, went with four fid lengths.

Are you using these for eye-and-eye prusiks?

 

[Brocky]

Just the blue one, used the tuck-bury splice on both ends and made the cover loose to be able to milk the slack towards the eyes to make it more flexible. The Tech cord was to see if it could be done, it would be too stiff to use as a hitch cord, a baggy cover would weaken the splices.

 

[Ragnar]

Brocky, looks good. What is the name of that hitch set up?

 

[Brocky]

That’s the Sticht Hitch, there is a thread on it in the Stationary Rope Forum. It is one of a few hitches that don’t bind up in SRT use.

Splicing sure comes in handy! I broke the plastic piece that keeps the lid and bottle connected on my Nalgene bottle because I have a bad habit of twirling it around my finger even when it is full. Dynaglide makes for a nice replacement and the color even matched! Double locking brummel and tail bury on the bottle side and just a double fisherman's loop on the lid side. The splice on the bottle side is just loose enough to allow the line to rotate around the neck as you twist it off.

 

[SeanRuel]

Bro, you gotta splice it onto the lid too!

Made a few dog leash gifts. I forgot how difficult Samson Predator is....

5/8" and 3/4" Stable Braid

9/16" Sirius. I finished with heat shrink over the whiplock just to add some protection.

Looks good!

What’s the plan for that? Curious how folks use spliced rigging lines.

@Ragnar those dog leashes are sweet!!! Do you sell these?

This is a 44' piece that I plan to use to tie off a large storm-damaged Hickory limb that is hanging by a thread. The limb is like 30' long and about 8" diameter at the trunk where it's broken. I'm going to tie the whole limb to the trunk and then set up separate rigging to piece it down from the bottom up. I thought I may use my slic pin shackle(which is way overkill for this) but really just wanted to try splicing a line I haven't spliced before.

@Ragnar those dog leashes are sweet!!! Do you sell these?

Thank you. I have sold a few, but generally just make them as gifts for people. Plenty of cheap cheap crimped rope leashes available so it takes a special person thats willing to pay for material, let alone time.

Noice!!!

Dog leashes? LOL

They could make equally great saw lanyards too. Girth the loop to the handle and clip in a beener to hang.

My first attempt at splicing used rope. This section was in a knot, so it got pretty clean when I washed it, but it was pretty filthy.
