Show off them splices

That helps but would also watch a video if you make one :). What type of splice did you do? Tree Stuff only sells it with sewn eyes.

I actually did some searching on the phrase after you posed the question. From what I gathered, it comes from the amount of time a cat spends cleaning it's butt. Something worth spending extra attention on.

 
Well, most female things that have an ass, you just flip it over and there's a pussy on the other side... but a cat... no matter if it's female or not, any way you flip it there's always a pussy on the other side.

Ok, it's not a very good theory. I guess we'll just go with the ass-licking cat one.

Here is a fun project if you are a bit of a masochist and have some scraps of 16-strand laying around. Building the first eye is easy but the second eye is more difficult because you have to pull the second tail past the first tail inside the rope and it is a bit tighter than the usual bury with 16 strand. I used a a 32" long homemade wire fid to do the pulls and you have to really reef on the second tail to get it through. Once you get the tails through you do the usual taper and bury. This required a 100" piece of Arbormaster and the finished friction saver is 36" long. The second photo shows the splice before the tails were tapered and buried. I could have done this better - notice that I did not get the bury exactly even on both sides. Will try to do better next time.

Looks awesome! You just remove the core entirely? I'm going to have to make some..

Looks good man. Anyone know if the Sherrill's catalogue still says OceanPoly is impossible to hand splice? One of my favorites
