    Don't really know where to put this, but anyway.

    So I got this wild to do some splicing, and decided to make a Kinetic Recovery Rope. 3/4" Double Braided Nylon Rope. I did two eye splices and then lock stitched them.

    A good picture of the eyes:

    And one more for giggles:

    This was my first shot at splicing, and I feel pretty confident in it. It ended up being just shy of 25' (Like 24' 9"). I'd say that's not too bad for a 16 year old.

    Thoughts?
