Ok OK, I will enjoy my life in the whimp class. After All I can be first to the beer and never am I called, "late for dinner".
Dad, was in the China fleet before the war, and we once talked about wire rope and splicing it. I am glad I never had to deal with it.

Bill, I did not want to completely answer, 'cause I did not want to let the cat out of the bag, so to speak.
Any ways, here are some rigging knives of mine with fids.

Hollis, That's good stuff for the correct types of line and handy kit to keep around. I'm not much good with soft rope, it splices different from wire rope and I always get confused.
The "molly" is a fast down and dirty way to put an eye in the end of a wire rope but it won't stand up to wear and running thru shivs or around drums like a properly spliced eye. I've helped long splice one and three eights inch mainline and have watched even bigger wire rope get spliced where it took a rigging chain and a D-7 Cat to suck the "strands' in tight.
We used some marlin spikes thirty inches long but usually about one and two footers would do.
A good question remains, anyone know the source of the name "Molly Hogan"?

I thought I was born and raised in Queens NY, I must be mistaken.
I know the problem - I spend too much time with GunnerJohn and Bill Harsey - they've turned me into a redneck.

I most likely resemble this: "2) You used to be a redneck but have moved out of the south and are in remission."

 Oregonians are definitely rednecks! But then again, us Washingtonians can be too...
