- Splicing a boom sling for my second time! it went pretty good and i am starting to get the hang of it. Also dont forget to slide the rope down towards the rings before you start the brummel, It makes for a much tighter fit! thank you 760 subs!!!!!!

Man, I haven't been interested in the double ring sling, but I never noticed that you showed the bend right with this splice! I bought a bend right and knew there must be a way to do this, and you got it! I saw it on Patrick's channel, and started hunting around.
Yes. personally, I don't use the bend right. I feel like the hole is too small. I splice eyes in my rig lines, and they don't fit through the hole. But if you don't have spliced eyes, the bend radious is favorable
@PoplarMechanic yea, I do a mix of both, and the lines I use splices on are the smaller lines, which I can stuff through the hole. I have stopped putting splices on bigger ropes because I am concerned about the tight bend around carabiners, and if it's not for a biner, what's the eye for? I would be very interested in your thoughts on the subject.
Edit to add: I just double checked, and a 5/8" tight eye will go through without dramatic effort. I have doubts about using eyes on bigger ropes. Maybe with a fat shackle in the eye to clip to, but that sounds clunky.
I was intimidated about splicing my own slings....until now! Thanks...great video, easy to follow.
Your very welcome man 👊
Wow, never knew it could be done by mere mortals like myself! Have a std ultra w/ ring, and am now thinking of building one of their multi-hole blocks!
Thank You for bringing the heavens down to us!
I think leaving a smaller loop at the end instead of a strait tail would be bad ass !! You could serve two purposes by having the option to throw on a swing gate block pully on the tail when wanted and have two working end options if that makes sense ? Then you can Cary around less woopie in travel bag ! Love content thanks !! Nice work man !
Keep up the great work and keep those splicing videos coming.
Thanks alot man, I will do that, I got some chainsaw stuff comming up soon to. 👊
Man, that was awesome. Looks super easy too. Thanks for sharing! And yes, please make a video of the variation.
Wow, awesome detailed video. Clear and concise information. Thank you.
No problem man, glad i could help
First video; subscribed after 2 minutes. You are incredible. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Hey man greatly appreciate that, be safe 👊
Awesome. Thanks for this. I got the bag o rope & Samson splicing kit to learn a little bit during this shut down. Got about 60' feet of hollow braid winch line. Between that and your Videos I'm on my way. Much appreciated. Thanks again
man, this is awesome, i have several ultra slings and they are super convenient. i had no idea how they were made! thanks for sharing! hope you are doin great bud!
Hey thanks for watching Robert. Have a good weekend my friend 👊
I just wanted you to know that I always wanted to do this splice and the other video you have on ultra sling!! Now that I know how it is done it all makes sense. Thanks for posting these video's!!! I was subscribed and had no notifications. I now have all notifications!!!
Hey Ted I really appreciate that man, I was hoping my videos would help someone. My channel covers a variety of content and tree videos as well. Thanks for watching, Stay safe brotha 👍
Splicing has been super intimidating to me. You make it seem easy. Thanks for the great vid!
Tenex is so easy to splice you can learn any sling in one sitting, samson has great instructions for most slings.
Poplar Mechanic good to know. I need another woopie sling for my stein block
Wow you really made it look easy nice job
Great video bro. I've done a few but you put it in a better perspective. Thank you.
Thanks alot sparker, 🇨🇦👊🇨🇦
Super video! Great instructions, thanks 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Np also before you start the first brummel slide the section of rope towards the rings to get a more secure fit 👊
Awesome video very informative I'm going to use this on my safebloc thanks for sharing stay safe 👊👊🇨🇦👍👍👍
Hey thanks for the support man glad I could help 🇨🇦👊🇨🇦
awesome video....great tutorial....I actually need one of those ..thanks for sharing this information 👍👍👍👊
Hey no problem, they are actually pretty easy to do. Have a good weekend scoot, I'll be doing snow tomorrow by the looks of things, Stay safe brotha 👊
Great. lesson now I can use that extra stuff thats laying around, but the glass table man clank clank
Haha ya sorry man its all I had in my office, thanks for watching 👊
Great wonderful thank you so much now I can make my eye sling or whatever you call it thank you!
Thank you very much Poplar mechanic I'm one of those people that I asked you how to do it myself I was trying to find it couldn't find it anywhere and I couldn't wrap my head around it but now thank you for this video and for taking time hope your busy schedule thank you stay safe my friend sincerely @elitearb20
Hey man greatly appreciated! I'm glad I could help Stay safe and have a good weekend 👊
This is very interesting stuff. It seems to be one of those things that's scarier than it really is. I'd like to see more though.
Nice work poplar mechanic 👌🇨🇦🇺🇸
Thanks brotha 💯🤟
Great video thank you for sharing
I’ve been learning so much from your channel! Putting together my own custom rigging system 😄
Haha, glad to hear it, man!
Thanks for the information
I'am do my own and tested well 😜
It is uncanny to me how often i am looking at getting a new piece of gear and then you post a video on it. Not sure i will splice my own yet but no doubt in the near future i will try this out.
I can read tree peoples minds lol, anyway ya I understand buying a ready to go product, it is convenient. The regular ultra sling is literally so easy to do I could teach anyone in one sitting. I'll post that video sometime this winter. Stay safe and thanks for watching Josh 👊
@@PoplarMechanic Ya so that didn't take long. I ordered the rope and rings gonna splice up a pair, thanks for the video sir.
Very nice
Thank you
There is something truly satisfying about splicing Tenex.
Yes sir , I got the small dmm block, can't wait to splice it, thanks for watching 🤟
Yeah, especially when compared to the pain of splicing climbing lines, it's like a vacation in the sun.
Hey thanks so much for this excellent video! Do you have one on how to make this? HB ALL GEAR DOUBLE HEADED RIGGING SLING - 19MM - 1.5M
@7-8min when you go for the 2nd ring....dude you've NO idea just how dumb I feel, I'd tried picturing how to do this for so long and couldn't and finally someone on the Buzz linked me to this! I've already spliced all my rings, and don't need anymore anchor or redirect slings lol, but no way I can pass on making a big 'ole double-XL Boomslang now that I see how easy it is :D
Had thought you just did chainsaw-vids was psyched to notice it was your video here, thanks a lot!!
Hey man I greatly appreciate that, glad I could help, stay safe out there brotha. 👊
Very cool man you just motivated me to make my own thanks man 👍🏼👊🏽👌🏽
Awesome man, its definitely fun and you can customize lengths. Thanks for watching man have a good weekend 👊
Nice demo! Money saved by splicing yourself depends on where you get your rings, those are expensive even when sold alone. Where do you get your rings, etc?
I got those rings from tree stuff
Good splicing instructions, only the rattling on the glass tabletop is annoying.
Thanks
Thanks great video job been going to do some of this your video helps a lot man bout 550' of 3/4 from a guy it was used for working on wind turbines and it's not even faded just like new ✊🤙
Awesome find man you will be better than me by the time you splice all that up lol thanks for tuning in man. Stay safe brotha 🇨🇦👊🇨🇦
Awesome video. Could not wrap my head around the double loop for the Bendright rings, your video solved my dilemma. What size, kind of twine do you use for lock stitching the 5/8” Tenex. Thanks for your videos, be safe my Brother
So I cant remember if the rope was 15 or 20 feet lol it's been sitting in a box for like 3 years. I'm thinking 20 though. And the whipping should always be the size of one strand. I used number 4 doubled up but it is recommended to use something larger. Number 8 would probably work.
Also another thing once you have the rings captured and you are about to start the brummel slide the rope down towards the rings to get a tighter fit, I forgot to mention that in the video.
thanks so much for your 2 splicing videos. How about something on the stitching on the end you talked about?
For sure I can do that in a later vid, its really easy just back and forth, it just holds everything in place, glad I could help have a good 2021 man 🤟
Dope. Big help
Greet video. Is that a medium size Xring?
I thought that with 5\8 and above you had to use the large ones…
So I believe its the old version abr rings and it is medium, I looked up the specs and the medium will hold the 5/8 tenex and fit over an inch in the middle, but keep in mind you can't really go wrong with larger rings, I actually prefer the large because its easier to pass a splice through the ring
excellent video 👍 what kind of rope is to buy
Tenex tec
Still liking the Bend Right? I couldn't get myself to buy one of those over a Fiori (or a Fiori over just getting another Safebloc :P ) because of the rope-diameter limitations, I don't know what they're stamped as accepting but if you ever want to do knotless rigging / have spliced bullrope it really limits you to those "XL/Beast" size inner-holes (Lrg x-rings can't take a soft 5/8 polydyne eye, or a 1/2 polydyne eye IF you include the smallest plastic climbline thimble in the eye...but with 5/8 even soft eyes are too thick to get through the Lrg rings, and Bend Right's bullrope-hole isn't so far off)
Would love to hear "Updated reviews" of your riggings with this particular Bend Right ring, with the Ultrasling config, and w/ your super modded 2511, I'm hesitant on the Ultra because "you can't snug it up" the way I like, though I have some 5/8 t-rex landing today and'll be making a boomer head (with an extra pair of Lrg rings I have, so can only use it with my unspliced end of my 1/2 bullrope..) with the Ultrasling body, fear the 'looseness' of it will make me dislike it, will see! Would love hearing your updates after spending time with this hardware/sling config/saw modifications(I've got the 355t, not going to be doing cylinder work & already have it screaming after muff/airbox mods, but on fence Re advancing the timing!) Am almost egging-on my 25cc to fail so I have reason to go buy the 2511 :P
I literally havnt used the bend right because my spliced 1/2 inch won't go through it, I'd get bigger rings. Bigger is better imo, stay safe bro 👊
I use my bend rights on everything I do these days, super handy. Many days the portawrap stays right in the truck. They almost make TOO much friction for light stuff while running 5/8" stablebraid
So it's that much extra friction? Well I guess 5 8ths just fits through the hole. Hopefully I get to test it out soon. Thanks for watching. Stay safe man 👊
Running 1/2" it's nice and slick, with the 5/8" there is a decent amount of brake just from the rope and a little noticable drag while pulling the rope back up. Not a bad thing at all, just something to note. I think it's more from the amount of grip the Samson provides as opposed to a 3 strand.
@@matthewstone8466 I was thinking of grabbing some 9/16ths for next season maybe it will be perfect! Also I cant fit my spliced half inch rope through it but no big deal.
The metal clanking on the glass pissed me off
Ya, its what I had at the time
@@PoplarMechanic put cardboard down lol.
Otherwise good video 😄
@@Imageloading... lol I do it on the floor now
Thank you for your time on showing this, I definitely have to make one, how do you feel this works versus using just one ring?
Well to be honest I never used 2 before, theoretically it will put a better bend radius on the rope, as well as a bit more predictable friction up top. I got the bend right ring to conduct some tests and people wanted to see how I spliced it so I made this video, I've let some big pieces down on one ring it's all about the technique. But putting less bend on the rope always helps, I hope that makes sense. Also the bend right hole is limited to 5/8 rope and I cant get my 1/2 inch samson with a splice through the hole. I still love the large single rings and a variety is always good! Stay safe 👊
@@dqmc07 for sure man I'll do a video when I get a chance to use it. 👍
Poplar Mechanic Cool deal bro, I and many others will look forward to it, be blessed amigo
what would you use it for, and how would you use it.
Just normal rigging , it just increases the bend radius of the rope, personally I prefer a bigger single ring.
Definite yes on the single ring splice. Curious...how long was the tenex you started with? Thanks for your vids!
I believe it was 20. I will definitely do a video on the single ring when I get more tenex.
At the end you can take the tape off. Insert the fid where you want it, then tape the end to the fid again.
Thanks 👍
What application do you use this double ring set-up for mostly? Yes, I'm back watching the video again lol I really like your splicing videos. Actually, all of your videos...
Just standard rigging really, just gives a better bend radius, easier on the rope than a single ring for roping down wood and stuff.
@@PoplarMechanic Thanks. I find rigging interesting. I want to learn the proper techniques very slowly with light weights. Nothing too crazy.
Can you buy a rubber coffee table please
What scissors are you using? Cutting Tenex with a knife is no easy task.
I'm using a nice sharp pair of fiskars, you can get good ones at craft stores, scissors are way better than a knife
Do I splice climbing rope too? Just more ideas for u Well you wait for winter to pass lol.
Yes I do splice my own climbing ropes I actually have a video for the double braid but just for the final burry. I will make a new lanyard this winter and do a video.
Hey can I ask ya how many feet you used to make this sling and how much you were left with total. Also where you found the splicing instructions? I haven’t been able to find them anywhere. Thanks I’d appreciate it
Hey man, I can't remember the exact length, but any length you use, it's folded in half, then minus the weaving, so a 15-foot length should give you roughly 6.5 to 7 feet of usable sling depending on the size of the pockets. Also, I didn't have instructions. I just looked at a sling on tree stuff and figured it out from the picture. Hope that helps
@@PoplarMechanic oh ok man.. thanks for the reply your video does well explaining I just hate pausing and rewinding a 100 times while trying to splice. Hahaha that’s what I had to do when I made my 1st ultra sling. Also great intrusions. Thank you
@christophersprague1279 😆. No worries, man. I totally understand. I was never able to find instructions. Be safe, brotha 🤙
Can someone explain to me the main purpose on why there are two rings? I understand the benefits but am curious the intentions on why there are 2
So the main reason for two rings is primarily bend radius, the sharper a rope bends the more likely it is to fail, Also it does apply more friction, Having said that, I use 1 large ring pretty much always, The two rings were fun to make though, thanks for watching 🤙
@@PoplarMechanic thats pretty much what I was figuring I just thought it was in a way sort of peculiar that they designed it like that as opposed to maybe just using a larger ring. Maybe just to have the option of "more or less bend or friction". Ive just personally only used a single headed x ring, just because that's what I had on hand so I havent had the opportunity yet to get a feel for the double. Your videos are great though and i appreciate the response as well as all the time, effort and detail you put into your videos. Stay safe and healthy man!
How long was the finish sling?
Shit man I can't remember exactly, I could measure it and get back to you, its pretty big though
where did you get the large fids I only have smaller sizes? I bet a sailing supply my be cheaper than an Arborist supply.
You know I cant remember where I got the big fids, I think wesspur. I would check Amazon for sure. You can buy them in singles so they are cheap either way.
I've seen these doubles what is the point of having two rings double ropes?
So the real purpose is a greater bend radius for the rigging line, although I use this one, ive never had problems with a single ring, the extra ring can also add friction wich can be useful at times
@@PoplarMechanic thank you for the awesome content and answering my question
I would like to know how to make triple ring about 5' or 6' long.
Do you know how to do it.
I'm going to order tenex tec. And some rings.
Thanks
Hmm a triple, I have not done a triple, double is more than enough, or do you mean like a retrievable sling with a double on one end and one on the other end?
@@PoplarMechanic yes 2/1
@@LuisSanchez-lu4cu I actually havnt done one on tenex but I could figure it out, ill do a video when I can
@@PoplarMechanic thanks
I dont know if tenex is best for that.
It looks like.
@@LuisSanchez-lu4cu id go with some good samson double braid, grab some 3/4 and do one large and one small, that's plenty of bend radius
how do you know how much weight theyre good for?
I just go by the rating on the tenex, so even if the splice was slightly weaker it wouldn't much matter if your breaking tenex splicing isn't the problem lol but if your looking for break strengths specifically go to treestuff, I don't sell these I use em myself and I've tested them extensively. Hope that helps 🤟
@@PoplarMechanic 5/8 is good for 18,800lbs on average. didn't realize these were so strong.
Nice job How long is that peace of rope?
It was either 15 or 20 I'm leaning toward 20, I didnt measure it, it was in my basement for a year.
Cool thanks going to try to make one of those one day
@@tonylima9362 ya it's easy, I'm sure you can do it, Thanks for watching.
How do you determine how much linear footage of tenex you need? Do you buy double the linear footage by the final sling length, or more?
Well I dont have it down to an exact science but I believe the one I used was 20 feet but if it looks too long do 15. The triple brummel splice takes alot of tenex. So it's better to have too much than not enough. Just lay it out and figure it out from there, I'll get more into detail about it in the next video.
Poplar Mechanic awesome! I look forward to it. I wish I was half as talented as you man. Keep up the inspiration
@@PoplarMechanic Really awesome videos, man, I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I just made one of these up with 20' of 5/8" yalex and two large x rings. It definitely eats the cordage right up. I ended up an overall length of ultra sling of 6', with the biggest loop being around 20 inches when girth hitched. Definitely smaller than I was expecting, but a great size for a beginner like me. Stoked to try this thing out! Thanks again Poplar Mechanic!! Super helpful videos.
@@derekweiss4395 hey no problem man! Glad I could help. 🤙
On this 5/8 rope what size ring did you use?
I think its the medium or number 2 old abr rings, but now I find the bigger the rings the better
I bought the 3/4 rope logic #3 and it's 6' but after watching your videos I want to make my own thank you
@@kplandscapinglawncare563 no worries man, you won't be disappointed with the larger ring, it holds every rope and splices go through it
