The true quality of a rigging ring sling is based on one simple detail.

Btw, notice the fear in my dogs eyes. He always puts on this face like he's in some sort of ASPCA commercial
My first successful double braid spices. Dog leash... I wanted to make one end with a larger eye/handle but I was not able pull the core out far enough to get to mark 3. I reinstalled the core and changed to a tight eye and was barely able to get mark 3 exposed.
Is there a loose rule for how short an eye to eye can be? Guess I could try doing the large eye first.
Will stitch them once I get a sailmakers palm.

Are you milking/working slack out of the eye before finishing bury the bury?
Whenever you find a solution, write it down so you don't do it again! And while your at it you can write rope measurements you used for different length slings.

Curiosity got to me, so I cut open a few of the larger eyes where the kinks were. Found that the kink was due to the core taper being pulled into the eye/core being cut off to short. Lesson learned.
Struggled on a few attempts to bury the core into the cover (OP 8mm) so I decided to cut open the cover of one I got stuck on. Discovered that I had snagged a few core strands right where I entered the cover (bottom of throat).
Finished up another leash, tight eye to looser eye with OP 8mm and a new lock stitch/whipping technique. Was just doing a standard Yale whiplock. Made one eye larger to so the carabiner would fit in the eye with the snap.
Got the new whipping idea from this link. Thank you Tommy_B if you are also a member here.

I also think I understand what an invisible lock stitch is now.... sticking the needle back in the hole it just came out of, but at a slight angle so the stitch gets sucked under the cover strands?

I just posted a couple of videos on Youtube that show the methods that I use to splice eye-to-eye prusiks in Beeline prusik cord. Part one shows the splicing part and Part two shows how to do the whiplock. To find them google on Beeline prusik-part 1 and Beeline prusik-part 2.

You're welcome
Made a few Whoopie slings. Only loosely followed instructions/made up the measurements. These 3/4" Tenex-Tec will be used as a tree anchor for a slack line. The small ones are made from NE Dynaglide. Not sure what I will the small ones for, prob just rigging tarps for shade. Used the Dynaglide to lock stitch the Tenex.

New climbing line for the upcoming winter season. Yale Blue Moon tight eye with custom label so it looks fancy

on a side note I'm really disappointed in the gold whipping twine, I thought it was gonna be sweet but it has more of a diarrhea brown look. Haha oh well
