Will splice for food

[Ratdog]

No such thing as a free meal.

Lured to my sister's house with the promise of kielbasa, bratwurst, sauerkraut and pierogies.

Then the DuPont yellow and blingness was dumped on the table.

Nephew number #5 has a birthday this week and him getting a diy tarp with all the fixings.

A quick test of a Golden Retriever running across the fabric table (aka living room floor) with the tarp fabric allowed us to evaluate dog claws vs silnylon.

We're going to call them Velociraptor claw marks at the birthday party. Not every kid gets a brand new tarp with Velociraptor claw marks on it, very rare.

Hey, you can even come up with some wicked cool stories of the velociraptors at the camp site to further spice up the night!

From the sounds of that meal I would say you got the better end of that deal. Now I'm hungry.

Haha, all I need is a recording from Jurassic Park and a strategically placed cellphone.

Oh for sure I did.
I just hate splicing the small stuff, bad eyes, tedious. Oh and all the stuff he bought from Dutch could have already been spliced up for a mere $5 a piece instead of me fiddling for a couple hours and sticking myself with sail needles.

I'm the opposite way... "I could get the Dutch elves to do this OR I could have a ball splicing it myself...easy decision! "

I love splicing...throw a movie on and go to town on it ☺

Same. Put kids to bed, pour a beer, turn on TV and play with rope.

I agree, I do find it very relaxing. Very much enjoy splicing the 1/8 or 7/64ths stuff. The smaller stuff is a bit trickier for me but it passed the time while my brother in law worked away on the Juki and my sister played with the dogs and we passed a summer evening just talking and laughing.

Good times then...and with a full belly

So what is the best way to learn to splice and how to make continuous loops, etc? It looks like fun and my Vertex needs toys! (alas, I still have to cook my own dinner)

Do some searches on here or YouTube. There are a lot of really great videos out there to teach you. Look up what you want to make, a continuous loop for example, and you should find loads of info.
