Brushing up on my marlinespike.
After I burnt yesterday at my friend's doing the fancy-schmantzy small-diameter, anchor chain to rhode for windlass splice, for therapy I thought I'd learn how to do whipping.
Even though I have the rope-smoker (smells almost as bad as pot) cutting gun, experience teaches that eventually the melty ends will ravel.
For the same friend, I had brought a few of his dock lines home to cut the cow tails off, and since I had ordered unnecessary hollow fids to do the splicing, I also ordered a twine and needle kit.
Thanks to YouBoob and my inability to find my father's Coast Guardsman's Manual, there was a lot of unclear information. So, I followed a few videos until I found something I liked. Then I combined some techniques from other videos and my own improv.
Naturally, I practiced on my friend's garbage before I did my own new bow line. When all is said and done, most any technique will probably work. I found something I was happy with, and for a change, I wrote it down. If it survives actual use.... maybe I'll keep my notes.
