The evolution of modern warfare through rapidly maturing warfighting domains like cyber-space and the digital information environment present challenges that require consistent and diverse levels of understanding and assessment. These shifts also impact military installations and operations uniquely. Here's the standard 'bury' splice: Guide Individual Splices/12_Strand_Single_Braid_End_For_End_Bury.pdfĪnd the very cool 'brummel' splice: Gui._Strand_Single_Braid_End_For_End_Brummell.The 21st Century has ushered in monumental changes that affect the daily life of many Americans. a simple fid, exacto knife, needle and whipping twine for the lock stitches. the fid is really easy to manipulate, due to the hollow nature of the line. Here's the splicing instructions for double braid line: Instructions/DblBrd_C1_End for End_AUG2012_WEB.pdf In any event, if you're making an end for end splice in double braid you'll only need a singe fid to fit the rope. It is far easier to splice single braid than double braid and the end for end splice is pretty easy to build. that can be used for multiple applications. I have a number of pendants in various sizes. Everything you need is there, including the nico press tool that makes for a very quick build. You can make them right at the West Marine store on the workbench in the sailing hardware department. You might consider making wire pendants and save yourself some frustration when to trying to splice small diameter rope. I do a lot of dumb things but this one ranks right up in the top ten.

It would be cheaper to get a professional to do then the $600 (tax and gas) I paid for the first spice.

I will admit that after I told Brion this story, he offered and repaired both of the wands for free which are now enshrined on my new boat. Two wands ($55 apiece $110), one book ($19.95) two tapes ($19.95 each or let's just say $40 bucks), the new line ($60) one VCR tape player/recorder ($160) and one 12 volt TV/player ($200). I would now watch as I did the splice.This time it worked! And I finally got my end to end splice done. On the way back to the boat I stopped by the electronics store and bought a small television set with tape player inside (saw it when I bought the new tape player for home) that was 12 volt. Ah-ha, you don't push the one line into the other, you PULL it through. WTH! I think I mentioned Brion Toss' parents, Hunter's lack of quality control, West Marine in general, etc as I calmed down.īack to the house I once again, perhaps my eighth time to watch Brion do the splice. After several tried, I once again broke the second wand. Took it out of the machine, took machine apart to clean, went back to West marine and bought another new tape ($19.95) and on the way home bought another new tape recorder ($160) just in case.īack on board I again open the book, took the new wand and started to place one line inside the other. Again the tape jammed, this time doing damage to the tape. Then I inserted the tape once again and tried to find the section of end to end splicing. I took video out of the player and carefully and slowly rewind the tape. But in the fast re-wind I jammed the video in the tape player. Okay, back to West Marine and buy another wand ($55) and back home to watch the video once more. Then I was to take the wand, insert one line or the other and push it through until it came out at a specific place. Measuring and pulling out the insides were not too bad and I was able to mark essential places on both the inner and the outer line. I also bought his book to take the the boat (another $19.95).ĭown to the boat, I reroved the new line, got both ends where I could work on them, opened the book and started. I first bought replacement line for the splicing ($60), Brion Toss' splicing wand ($55), and a Brion Toss video tape ($19.95) which included ALL his instructions on ALL of his spices. I don't remember the costs of the materials exactly but I'll give a close enough price to give you the idea. I had to do an end to end spicing with line specifically for the main roller furling gear on my H380.

I too used Brion Toss's equipment although your cost of $75 and $30 is a little bit under what it cost me. I think I've written about my splicing once before.
