sling grade tenex

[lacky]

I like to splice my own slings and was wondering where you guys buy the tenex by the foot. I know wesspur has it, just wondering if there are any good deals out there.

Splicing dead eyes and whoopies are the only way I'll do it. Super easy and save some serious $$$. The locking brummell the only splice I know how to do!

Just wanted to pass along that I did call Knot & Rope Supply and they were terrific. Very friendly and easy to deal with. Thanks for the tip.

I wish that I would have got a slice kit befor the winter! I was planning on getting one and learning how over the long boring winter!

sounds like someone needs a splicing symposium.....

This is funny as I just ordered a bunch of 1/2" and 5/8" tenex today!

Put a few eyes in some amsteel blue I had around and said, gosh, I gotta start making my own slings, this is too easy!

Anyone know where to pick up the larger size whipping twine? I ordered the tenex from wesspur, but they only carry the smaller sized waxed twine.

Yes, it is fine time for a Symposium!!!! Somewhere in New England would be great. I have tons of things i want to pass by some more experienced splicers. And be shown how to splice from a live instructor, not a video!!

Or Washington state.

or tennessee

 

[Rookieclimber]

or wisconsin... or chicago

just wanted my two cents

hey jeff, if you just use some strands of the tenex itself from the taper or cut a small length of cord and have a bunch of strands to play with, use those strands to lock stitch then whip with the small waxed whipping twine, this is the process i use, works great.

I use #18 nylon braided mason line. Most hardware stores have it. $6.00 US for 250'. Comes in white, yellow or neon pink.

Or like Rookie said, you can use a strand of the line you're splicing as well.

I use old throwline to lock stitch the large tenex as I have gotten knots or tangles I have cut some have gotten shorter so they get put to whipping.

You mean the string they use for chalk lines? Sweet!
