Bit of a diversionary job today. Been a long time (about 35 years I think since I was taught by an old Navy guy to do these big ropes) since I handled rope this size!! 600m of 20mm Dyneema 12 plait rope that needed cutting in half and 4 eye splices put in. This is heavy duty stuff that is used to drag utility cables (mainly heavy electrical cables) through conduit in new estates. You can see the size of the rope compared to my legs in the photos. 3.5hrs later because stupid here forgot to take extra knives with her as Dyneema is hell on scissors 🤦‍♀️🤣 I got the job done ✔️ Each of these splices has a 220mm eye with a 2 METRE back core buried splice!!
The last 3 photos are what the rope company deemed "suitable". I was horrified when I opened up the nylon web casing to find a 50cm plait bound in black tape to hold it together 😳😳😳 the guidelines for splicing Dyneema under high loads - the back splice or buried core MUST BE 70 TIMES THE LENGTH OF THE DIAMETER OF THE ROPE being spliced...... so for 20mm Dyneema that's a core bury of 1440mm or 1.44m. I did 2+metres. They did 50cms and wrapped it in black tape. I'll just leave that there.........

BTW - DID I MENTION ORDERS ARE NOW OPEN 🎉🎉🎉

Soooo the move went pretty well 😁 it took me a week to recover though!! The workshop is starting to come together and finding new homes for everything. Lots of sorting still to do though. Rope room got sorted today so now I can start on ropes over the weekend. Still haven't unpacked the house though 🤣 that's a job for another day.
At this stage I'm looking at opening orders around the 8th of May...

The knock off bell from Munga Park Simmentals has rung for the last time in this workshop 😢 everything is as packed as it can be ready to start moving tmrw.
Here's to new beginnings ✨️ ☺️ 🎉🍻🍻🍻

Well that's a wrap for this workshop!! Last orders are out. After 14 years here our new house settles on Tuesday and the big uplift begins. The inside of the house is packed. Tmrw we start dismantling the workshop!! When I said it was a 6mx6m garage packed to the roof I wasn't joking 🤣

Wish us luck 🙏 🍀 🌷

Looking forward to a new layout design, room to work more freely and definitely better organisation!!! Will have the equivalent of a 6m x 9.5m space in the new house.
See you on the flip side. Orders will tentatively reopen around the first week in May ❤️🙏❤️

So it's official!!!
The house is unconditional and we are on the move mid-April 😳
Unfortunately this means I need to close orders from today until the end of April. Those orders currently on the books will be finished as advised via pm.
Not looking forward to packing up the workshop!! When I moved from Sydney to Brisbane 14 years ago it was 80 boxes just for the workshop. Who wants to take a guess how many boxes it's going to take this time???
Hint it's a 6m x 6m garage with 4 sets of workbenches and at least 3 storage cupboards 🥵🥵🥵 not to mention the fishtanks.....
Pfa....21 hackamores made yesterday!

Pm me to buy 😊

Its been a busy start to the season that's for sure!! A few different halters, new colours, leather halters and a very large webbing halter to fit a 10yr old 1000kg Angus steer who doesn't like pressure around his nose when being led. So I refurbished an idea I've seen used for horses where the pressure comes from the poll area rather than under the chin for leading and tying.🤞 🙏🤞it works 😊

❤️❤️❤️ and lots more going out this week!!

Surely I am not the only one that gets excited for new halters!!!

Ulysses will look dashing in his rainbow set and his pure black leather show set this season.

Thanks to Shan at Custom Cattle Halters! They are amazing!🤩
