Guest Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Maybe everyone already knows, but just in case, don't forget to get one of these. It makes a neat job so much easier. Less than a fiver, from most Chandlers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boaters Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Great app just downloaded it and will give the eye splice a try as I have never got one right yet . So much better if you can see how it should be done rather than read it from a book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baz Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Now come on Jill, do you honestly think I could sit in front of the telly doing some crocheting. What's my wife going to think, it wouldn't be long before she'd have me doing all the housework as well. lol Baz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
