If you can locate the bible on leather braiding (Amazon has it) Leather Braiding by Bruce Grant is all you need. You need a decent fid as well. If you use precut leather braiding lace practice on string first...cos the lace is so expensive!!Quote:

You can often find the brass rings and swivels on my favourite shop ebay.co.uk for a fraction of the price we pay here...and that is solid brass stuff.

I found this and will give it a crack, more like the leash in your other post

Could be fun...did a bit of splicing work when I was in the naval reserve, hope it all comes back!

that looks cool!!
Similar to rope splice but with the lay instead of across the lay and tapered back in. Should be plenty of tube vids

Yea na, like this. Only little rope but you can imagine what it is like trying to drive a marling spike into rope like your first vid!Quote:

The "fid" or "marling spike" is wound forward, strand inserted then wound back tight to lock it in then forward again to reinsert. Didn't watch the whole vid but it didn't look like they were going to taper it in.
On big rope its a two man job working the spike in turns;)
That is truly gorgeous Eeebees:thumbsup:Quote:
