For polyester, I use a fid plus a short fid for the brummel and the bury. With a nice half fid taper.

Very nice Reed, you may have to share how to do the double ringer...

No! Ha ha ok, yes.

It's just takes mocking it up (dry fit so to speak) and making marks with knowledge of fid sizes. The straight buries at the rings are 2/3 a fid and the final bury after the locking brummel is a fid and 1/3 tapered for 2/3 of a fid.

Reed, are you saying that you somehow managed to produce all of the spliced products that we are seeing on the table in a single day? If so, that is amazing to me. How many years would you say that you have been splicing rope?

Beautiful work. It could be a legitimate side business, if the tree climbing work ever experiences slowdowns, I'd be guessing.

4 hours actually. About 7 years for myself and friends/ associates. Can't afford the insurance to make it a valid side business...
But thanks Tim!
