It was a kinda joke cuz that rope would be a pain to re-weave but it's my only logical theory. Ill try and find it.

Things were going so well on this used sirius lanyard until I forgot to add the snap hook before burying
Worst part is I only realised whilst running it home

Add a pear style screw ink joining the splice eye to the snap. This is how I have flip lines spliced each end with an eye and assemble at home.

Oh, and then reverse ends when worn. Each eand is thus also a stopper knot

Its ok, ill just redo over. The cord is cheap and it was used, and I'm really enjoying splicing at the MO.

first post here, been lurking for some time. Started splicing again since work is slowing down.
super smooth made at treestuffs splicing seminar last year

safari. I read that this one was tough, I worked at it though and honestly didnt think it was too bad, while some commented the splice looks fat, im going to try again and I think its going to be a much better result
yale prism. this stuff spliced like a dream

I've seen a video of it being done, now where was that?

There is a bit of bunching. this was also another thing I was looking to get some advice on. I did stitch the cross over before burying to try to compress everything and keep it tight but i feel like the bunching up may have started some what close to the end of the bury. Is there something that can be done, or does is need to be buried more to equal it out? Thanks.
I'd also like to note that some of these splices that I did, I bought 20ft lengths of rope to try on. I think this is a good way to practice and also the bag of rope that treestuff sells is a great deal.

How's the splice today?!?! Not worth a damn. Used tachyon. Guy wants it for monday, if I had more time I'd lay it out in the back yard and milk 100ft or more to get it to bury easier. Didn't win on this one.

Used rope is a bitch. Did you try any type of lube?

What about a couple no. 10 hose clamps?

No, silly. Hose clamps are for rigging lines.

Just warm water for lube. Should get some KY, but the girlfriend gets suspicious when sex things are at my house when she's not been around.
Edit: I'm hoping overnight cursing and swearing will make it bury tomorrow.

Does anybody remember if it was in here or not where someone had a really great looking swedish fid made by a friend? I remember thinking how cool it was but couldn't remember if it was on Facebook or Treebuzz or somewhere else.
