Show off them splices

notch triple thimble on 21' 3/4" stable braid. I felt like this splice went together quicker and smoother than my previous double braid splices. I'm not sure if I'm getting faster, or if the larger diameter is just easier to splice? All of my previous double braid were 12mm and 1/2"

I found the the larger diameter stuff does splice more easily. The room in the cover makes a big difference. Looks good too, I don't think that thimble is going to come out.
 
Now I will show my wife this picture anytime she says I have a problem. If we all do it then it can't that big of a problem.
lol i had alot more but just sold a bunch of my older climb lines, i keep trying new ropes then selling them before they look used . i found that just the buying and selling helps me thru the day dealing with the addiction, just getting to feel the rope for a bit then letting it go keeps me from having a giant collection of every color and type of rope.

Beautiful cat. How do you manage to keep it from tearing up all of your freshly spliced goodies? I thought that's just what cats do for a living.

Beautiful work. How long would you guess it took you to make the ring and ring saver, in total? Thanks.

That lanyard looks so good I would have a hard time using it because I would not want to discolor it. I actually have 2 lanyards ready to go for when I wear out my long lanyard and I just don't want to get the tachyon one dirty. My cat also thinks tachyon is the most snake like rope. She goes nuts for it. I give her a decoy piece of scrap rope to keep her busy.
 
6 am test. 8 hour work day. 3 hour class. What do I do when I get home after that. Get a hit of that sweet strand with Mia. Used 12 strand truck pulling rope. Lock stitched with the speedy stitched. A rope like this can be hooked to a set of dually rims and used like a winch. Works great if you have short valve stems on the rims.15221157542311235940132.webp
