My first locked brummel splice! And first continuous loop!

[El Gordo]

OK, OK, it's no big deal - but who else could I tell?

Help! Stop me before I splice again!

Whoo Hoo! - Way to splice!

[Ratdog]

And so it begins...

Will be looking forward to your ARL's, UCR's and Soft Shackles at the next hang.

Oh yeah, i kinda remember that first splice feeling, i eneded up with about 600 feet of every color amsteel hanging on the wall and getting into hot water with the wife for spending all the money at redden marine on it..
But pracice makes perfect.

The guys at the office poke fun at me when I pull the bag of rope out at lunch. They just don't understand the simple pleasures!

Got me some Dutch bling today and did some splicin'.

Dutch hook and Dutch flea on 3 in continuous loops to use with the tarp I'm making.

I felt the same way with my first splices. No one at my house cares .

The only part I don't like about splicing is preparing the tapers. It's tedious IMO. Other than that, I love splicing stuff. Dynaglide seems the easiest to do the tapers, and I like splicing that more than amsteel or zing-it, but I don't use it often. Only for adjustable ridgelines, mostly.

Congrats on your first of MANY splicing projects to come. Before you know it, you'll be giving loops, whoopies, shackles, and ridgelines away because you have too many. Then you'll make more... give away... make more... give away....

Have fun!

Woo Hoo! Great job. Now attach that to the end of your hammock (or tarp - I can't tell if that is amsteel or lashit) and get hanging!

The true pleasure is when you hang from them and they hold you up. Good work.

Splicing is us hammock peoples form of meditation. Nice job!
