Soft shackles....dyneema

[weeds]

Anybody made there own??

Got a link to a good instruction.

I certain there was a thread on here but the trusty iPhone isn’t finding it

[Toxic_Avenger]

That might have been my thread. But buggered if I can find it either. There was talk of me tying some up for those who were interested, but it fell out of favor by the forum at large from a liability perspective. So either deleted or unable to be searched as it would have been posted on the old forum software.

Yes I've made one. Yes, I've recovered off it (winch, not snatch).
Can be easily made oneself with a bit of time.
Sing out if you want some pointers

Have you had a play with the plasma I slipped you?

[Toxic_Avenger]

Sadly, not yet Billy! I have been incredibly slack.

You and me both.

[Toxic_Avenger]

We should be taut.

[cuppabillytea]

We should be taut.

Actually, I've been splicing eyes into 40mm 8 strand square rope. Bloody hard on the fingers. Should be finished tomorrow.

Sorry Ian.[bigwhistle]

Or taught, perhaps. Riggers courses are available. Or, ask Tank (says me, ducking...)

Ive made few for myself using this link

Taught- past tense of to teach.
Taut- to be tight (pun on the rope thing- geddit?!). Also used as maritime slang as a 'taut ship' - having a good crew- which by recent accounts, I am not yet proficient [bigwhistle].

Only 12 double strand tucks and 24 single stand tucks to go. [bigrolf]

[Don 130]

Thanks for the picture Cuppa, it looks like horrible stuff to splice. How many tucks in total?
Don.

48 tucks per eye. Any less would be irresponsible, no matter what stated intended purpose might be.

Thats one heavy Landrover! [bigrolf]

Ha ha. It's not for any Land Rover, and it's just a standard splice.

[rrturboD]

Soft Shackles are available here (sure ex china, but in Australia) for $29.00 each. I have just ordered a couple to check out. see Ultraflex 4x4 (https://www.facebook.com/************/) on facebook.

get a fid, you'll suddenly enjoy splicing ropes everywhere

Someone kindly relieved me of my fid. Even with a fid this lay is tough to open up.

Oh, I got it, Mitch. I was merely taking the punning another step.

Looks like the anchor hawser from the Queen Mary.
