Show off them splices

[evo]

When i did mine I didn't think that it was any harder than tachyon. Just different. A lot of work for a lanyard though

Here's my 2nd successful splice in double braid- rope is used so it was a bit more difficult than the first time I spliced double braid. I lock stitched the crossover/buried core on the inside a la Brion Toss instructions.

Very very nice Mr kris!

Is that ivy like ne tachyon or is it more standard double braid?

 

[Mr Kris]

In terms of splicing? I used the standard double braid instructions- it doesn't have a 2nd core like Tachyon.

 

[Sgriff]

Nice. Lol ya my B,in terms of splicing. I have a hell of a time with tachyon,not as therapeutic as others imo

New splicer here, just curious... So when splicing 16 strand like Samson ArborMaster, when you make the eye splice you are actually hanging off the sheath and not the core + sheath like with most of the 24 strand climbing lines? Thanks.

Core strands are there to keep 16 strand ropes round. When splicing 16 strand some core strands are removed to make room for the bury. There are no core strands in the eye of a 16 strand splice, this has relatively little effect on the strength of the splice/rope.

100% of the strength in 16 strand rope is in the cover, so it's not necessary to have any core strands in the eye. In 24 strand ropes the strength is shared 50/50 between the cover and the core, so you need both.

Thanks guys. Tried splicing some 24 strand Velocity I had as a lanyard, and let's just say my lanyard is about 3' shorter now. I think I need a wire fid or a Toss Wand to do the trick, the fid wasn't quite cutting it.

 

[Sgriff]

Wire fid is a must! I went to hobby shop and got "piano" wire after i broke my copper one.

Locked Brummel Splice on Dynaglide, anyone use this on their throw line?

I like to see someone else splicing their throw line. I splice all my throw lines and don't think I could go back to using unspliced throw line.

 

[macswan]

My buddy sabatino just started doing that

 

[RajElectric]

Just a straight bury and lockstitch here.

 

[Sgriff]

I dint even stitch mine...

 

[JonesClimber]

No need to stitch with the Brummel. What did you guys use for fid/wires? They are so damn small. I made a wire fid out of a paper clip, it works, lol.

 

[Sgriff]

I used a needle,just str8 bury w no stitches,no problem. I will try the paper clip,how did u attach to it? Like 1.8 zing is what have,slippery stuff

 

[JTree]

I used a piece of bailing wire/tie wire for a fid. It pinched well enough to get the required tug.

Same as JTree, the two pieces of paper clip were almost touching when I finished bending it. Same 1.8mm DynaGlide here.
