it must be the angle and being close up...when I took the 4 strands out it seems that the others unravel and where I cut them was harder to they were hard to get them back through it took about 5 min of twisting and pulling but it looked easy for you...any suggestions????Love your work by the way...

Your videos are always my go to ones for this sort of stuff, so thanks for sharing. I have been looking for rope in the same size range that has more strands, like 12 or more. Is the 16 strand rope the same size as 7/64 Amsteel? Would you mind sharing where you got the 16 strand stuff?

@tpdavis473 6 жыл бұрын

Only friction is keeping it from pulling apart, right? The crossover is only locked by pulling on the ends, so theoretically you could pull it apart. I understand that to lock itself you'd end up with quite a lump when burying the ends. BTW, how do you keep your knife sharp enough to cut this stuff...I go through 3-4 razor blades for every splice.

@TacBlades 6 жыл бұрын

tpdavis473 correct its the friction as a result of compression. Carbon steel blade stropped before every use.

@TheAkashicTraveller 2 жыл бұрын

When it's under tension it constricts around the buried ends which produces more than enough friction to prevent it from pulling apart. Some people do like to put a few stiches through the brummel knot to prevent it from working its way out when not under tension though.

I followed every step over and over again for this continuous loop..what I have noticed is that you are using a larger rope and that the tools you use makes it easier for you.. I have the same tool as you... the Loop Turner..it did not work as I was using 7/64 amsteel I could hardly move it up to grab the ends it plugged several times, I was not happy...can you do a continuous loop using 7/64 amsteel to see how you do....I believe the difference in the amsteel and what you used is different.. I think yours is way easier but all I have is amsteel right now....any thoughts about this...

@TacBlades 5 жыл бұрын

This is a bit thinner than 7/64 but i use exactly the same tools for 7/64 amsteel and also for lashit which is very thin with the same tools.

What is the cord you use on this video? Would you just use the loop you made here for just hanging gear or is it strong enough to use on a hammock? Thanks for sharing the video.

@TacBlades 7 жыл бұрын

This is the same strength as amsteel so good for hammocks. It a raw dyneema white with a 16 ply braid so smooth, used for wakeboarding and industrial tow lines.

Can I use the same measurements to make continuous loops from 1/8" diameter dyneema?

@TacBlades Жыл бұрын

Have a look at the dyneema manufacturers page as when you change the diameter to get the friction you need to change the bury lengths.

I hate bothering you... the silver golf-tee looking tool, the one you use to spread the strands, where can I locate one? And you replied to another person in the comments that the line is 16 strands white Dyneema and I can't seem to find it anywhere on the internet. You referenced Wake-board tow lines and what I am finding there is some type of monofilament line. Like spider web from Shelob in Lord of the Rings. I can only guess what that stuff costs per foot. The only 16 strand Dyneema line I can find is for fishing and like 1 mm or something, too small for a lashing line of any kind. Like trying to use my Dyneema kite lines for tarp tie-downs. It's got to be big enough to work with your hands. Thanks for any help you can give.

@paulgush 3 жыл бұрын

Quite right, it isn't locked. If you make a loop like this it is _essential_ to stitch through the buries. Otherwise it will come undone at some point.

@TacBlades 3 жыл бұрын

The brummel does nothing its the friction of the buries that does the work as specified. Its more than safe and been using the same ones for over 4 years now and they are like new no change at all. The burries are specified in the samson data sheets. No stitching is needed.

@@TacBlades Samson also specifies the need for lock stitching, because it stops the buries from shaking loose. An intermittent load like a kid jumping up and down on a hammock or a flogging sail can shake this type of splice loose. It has happened to me
