Probably not going to finish the eye splice. I must have re-done it 3 times today(4th time total), and it's *still* not perfect. Getting there though.

I am finding it difficult to keep the strands from unravelling(taped ends, i twist as I tuck), especially after the second tuck. It is murder on my hands, and I broke the tip of my DIY fid XD...

I will practice on small ropes for a little while, and then move back to 12mm (1/2").

@rek Do you work three strand centre strand first, then right, then left? I found that makes a clean splice.

Sy and Kim looking at someone who is walking away that we cant see. Sy says, "Man! That guy was CUT though! Real beefcake!" Kim says, "Oooh that's his nickname now!" Second panel, Sy and Kim are both grinning devilishly and saying together "Beefcake's goin' down."

@rek i was wondering if the glass was borosilicate! i have two cups, used for tea, of the same vacuum construction 😊

with some dark interior covering, a lid, and some aluminium as a reflector i bet it could get half-way to steamy inside one of them :3
