I can't speak for ST but Erik didn't get that fast because we have low expectations! Lol

It takes me more than four minutes to get out of bed.

And after all of this is said and done, these guys will be expected to produce in this fashion day in and day out.

Yeah, I used to feel sorry for them because I thought they were barely breaking even on labor when they did a splice for 25 bucks. Now that I know it only takes them 4 or 5 minutes and they can do 10 or so in an hour with time for a coffee break I don't feel so sorry anymore!

Even if they took 10-12 minutes per splice during a normal work day, which might be a more reasonable pace, that's still ~$150/hour. Not bad for a service whose only consistent expenses are labour and a few cents worth of twine and heat shrink. I'm in the wrong line of work.

Lol. Next time you guys carry a log from the back yard, try sprinting with it on your shoulder. Then try doing that 9 hours a day 5 days a week.

These guys are showing off. These aren't sustainable paces.

You also don't see prep, labeling, qc, continual certification work, training, or any of the many other things they do in a day.

Think about it like tree work.

Hey Luke, I was just joking! I am an avid splicer and I know what goes into a good splice and all the stuff you guys have to go through to turn out a good product. Even if your guys only crank out 2 or 3 splices an hour at their regular work pace that is still phenomenal in my book.

X2, same thoughts here. I was just messing around. All of these guys are just phenomenal

Thanks Nick, I won't make that mistake again.

Did my first double braid splice in a while last night. It made me reimpressed with the feats performed in these videos. Took me two hours at best, there were distractions, but shit Phil took a customer call, so...
