I would expect that member could receive quite a lot of work from boaties!

Spicing is something I was shown many years back.......and promptly forgot!

If the rest of you are anything like me, I'd suggest you all have ropes to be spliced from time to time, and are all looking for someone to take care of it for you!

I recon if the government could be kept out of it, any budding junior fisherman wanting to absolutely clean up in the pocketmoney stakes could earn himself a small fortune by hanging out at the boat ramp and offering to clean fish, wash boats, and splice ropes!

Weaving the rope back into itself to create either a loop, or an end which does not fray.
