A Splicer I Am Not

[gmcttr]

I've read about tube turners, but when I ask at Joann Fabrics, Walmart, and the like, they just look at me strange. Where does one get a tube turner?

I ordered mine from their website with a larger order...http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog/p...PRODID=prd2991

It's not a tube turner...it's a loop turner...see HERE.

I find it REALLY works well.

check my previous post on splicing hollow core. The fids make all the splicing very simple. Making the grip fids ...well the video will show how easy that is.

That's awesome! Does JoAnn's sell the hollow needles? I assume these are the right type? Nothing says they're hollow, of course.

Good to see this worked out for you.

OMG what a difference technique makes! I just knocked out a BEAUTIFUL whoopie in 15 min. I'm sure as I do more (because now I just have to) I can cut that down further. God Bless HF!

Lesson #2...bury a 2" long piece of amsteel just above the constrictor to prevent the main loop from being accidentally pulled completely into the constrictor...http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/s...8&postcount=32 from this thread...http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=30797

JaxHiker, be forewarned. Splicing rope can become highly addictive.

Good job on your whoopie sling.

Why didn't you tell me this on Sun before I got so I excited with success I pulled it through? That was quickly followed by "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" but I recovered.

Oh hell, that's already happened. I predict a house littered with whoopies and other rope creations. I'm already gearing up for another Redden order. I figure I'll be to amsteel what Forrest Gump is to shrimp.

And thanks!

Congratulations! I'm glad that it worked out for you. Now go put an ice pack on your forehead. It must be sore and swollen from beating your head against a wall.
