    First go at Spicing

    This is my first shot at the beginnings of my suspension, Two Soft shackles, two Continuous Loops, and two Whoopies.

    I used 7/64 amsteel, and the red wires are my splicing tools. The wire is 20 gauge beading wire from Hell-mart.

    I hope to have someone at the Fairfield Hang check my homework before I do a butt-dive, lol!

    At first it seems confusing, but now I find it relaxing to make a set! Welcome to the club!!

    The learning curve is not too bad on splicing, especially with a coach and there will be several at the Texas Fall Hang.

    Looking back to last year to reminisce and forward to post Covid-19 hangs in 2021

    Ditto on the pic, but you should be fine assuming you followed the bury rule correctly. Welcome to the splicing crowd.

    My forum name is Fish<><; I'm in the navy; and I hate sleeping on the ground. If I didn't need ground to walk on or measure resistance to, I think I could happily give it up.

    It is easier after the first time, and eventually becomes great fun
    I may be dumb, but at least I'm ugly!

    I've done so much, with so little, for so long, now I can do anything with nothing.

    It's not peer pressure, it's just your turn.
