Farmer's Splice

[AaronS]

Doh!

Sorry Brion, it was right there in front of me in the Apprentice. I've been playing with line for some time now, but I'm getting more and more interested in splicing wire rope. Although not often used in industrial applications any more, (we farm all of our rigging/splicing out to a commercial wire and rope company, since it must be certified) it's an art that few people in my industry remember how to do.

Proper service or seizings would be much more aesthetic than the Crosby clip. I guess I've got something to practice during our northwest winter. Thanks for all the responses!
