Southeastern New England, sewn splicing?

[Ob2]

Anybody know where in New England to get a sewn eye in a rope that won't take hand splice? (Sterling WorkPro 11mm)

I'd be tempted to try myself if stitching by hand is possible? Never done one tho, and my life will be hanging on it.

Thanks for any leads!

Documenting my hand-sewn eye process

I'm documenting the sewing process for an eye I'm working on. Sewing the eye on NE Ropes Tachyon. For this eye I'm pre-tensioning the join with clamps to increase the friction on the finished eye. Sewn eye documentation I'll add more photos to the set as the eye is finished. Materials...

I have sewn that rope, and used those sewn eyes to drag logs

I do a different style than moss; I do hand sew it without a speedy stitcher or anything other than a sewing needle with a round tip. I use better thread than I used to, more in line with the recomended waxed poly from that thread.

Did you check with Shelter Tree in Attleboro?

Thanks Matias, Is there a thread you can link me? I didn't have much luck with search feature here

Hey Steve I've been trying to, but they have new phone system that doesn't seem quite functional yet. I'll see if I get a reply to my email.
I also tried R&W Rope in New Bedford, but they don't have anybody certified to sew

Ok let me know if you find someone. I have a hank of 9mm I might want an eye put in.

Yes will do!

Could try Jaime at the Rope Guru? Not sure of geographic proximity, but I know he’s in the northeast out there…. He does excellent work.

Thanks Chris! A bit far but might be able to work that into visiting friends sometime

If you're willing to mail/ship your rope, I've used and can recommend Gap Arborist Supply, in Kinzers, PA as well as Arbsession, in Green Bay, WI.

It's in my first post here

Oh gotcha! thanks again

@Ob2 What did you decide to do?

I forget about stitched splices... My wife has a gangster sewing machine. It'll do leather.... Who do I send samples off to for strength testing???

I think if you want multiple samples tested Treestuff does a bulk discount

I don't know if they're still open, but trawlworks in southern RI might be able to help you out. they do maritime splicing and supply

No leads really, good thing it's a low priority rope.
I'll check Skye401s suggestion next

Thanks Skye, I'll give them a ring!

I know Shelter Tree in Attleboro also has an outfit they use for splicing. About $30 for a tight eye.
