The only reference devoted entirely to splicing today's
ropes
"The Splicing Handbook" includes step-by-step illustrations and
explanations for the most useful and popular splices in traditional
twisted and modern braided ropes, and it covers every kind of
splicing project you are likely to encounter, including modern
cordage such as Spectra; mainstream rope materials such as Dacron
and nylon; and wire and rope-to-wire splices. Covers all the
standard rope constructions using Dacron and nylon, including solid
braid, double braid, parallel core, plaited, and three-strand
Explains how to splice wire for sailboat shrouds and halyards Shows
how to make a broad range of useful onboard projects--and several
that will find uses around the home as well, including dog collars,
netting, rope railings, and lanyards.
